ALPINA D4 S CABRIOLET
It’s not the Ferrari Testarossa or an Alfa Romeo with chromed inlet pipes: it’s a garish diesel cabriolet. This Snapper Rocks Blue Alpina D4 SConvertible is adorned with white pinstripes and clear glass. It has white leather with black stitching. And I’d put it up against anything else at Bicester Scramble. In making a statement, it does exactly what Alpinas should. They’re bespoke, exclusive creations. Not to mention, this tone punctuates the 4Series like gravy does Yorkshire pudding. Its design is subjective, though. And I think the BMW XM is handsome.
