No doubt Alpina is a little more exclusive than M5 since there are more M5's on the roads.

If comfort was important to me, Alpina would be my first choice over M5. But everyone on this board know Im a "sportguy". I prefer driving dynamics, driver involvement over comfort. I'm not choosing a M5 because Im going to use it on a track, if I want a track car I rather choose a M3. People here seem to think the M5 is suited for the track, its not, its too heavy. Sure you can take a few laps on a track but it wouldnt survive to long.
I choose the M5 because it offer several things, comfort, practicality, handling, speed and fun.

PS If it was AMG vs Alpina I think I would go with Alpina but since its M vs Alpina then M5 is my ultimate choice.
