I still love the original colour but this will look better on the newer models.

I think it looks better on the modern cars than the lighter green "old" Alpinagreen. The B6 Convertible should have had gold stipes however. We haev many pictures and videos of the car.

It looks nice, somewhere between Uergrün and Ascot..

BTW Gus I hate the alpina livery,especially in gold.. It was nice in the old days, but I think Alpina too traditional at times. It took them 500 years to come up with a different wheel design

Maybe they just know their customer base! I love the livery, especially gold when it's on a green car. I'm not a huge fan of the dynamics though - too strong. Most Alpinas of the last 20 years have been a blend subtle understatement with strong poise.
