That Alpina B7 rocks. The wheels on that M6 are not my cup of tea.

 Blue with white interior is not my stein of beer. However if your dad will let you borrow it...... go for it!
By the way, what kind of mileage and how big is the gas tank?

Have a look at the ALPINA USA Website: www.alpinausa.com
According to their info the fuel tank has 23.3 gal and the B7 has an EPA rating of 15/23 mpg city/hwy.
To be correct, it's not the 750i's engine but the "old" 4.4L V8 from the 745i, of course heavily modified by ALPINA.

Thanks. I miss the cruising range between gas stops on my 745i. 
The B7 is sounding better, although way to visible in the blue incarnation. I'll have to check and see if they can make in in other colors (another series of 200?)
