I drove both the M5 and the 550i pretty hard and could tell a difference in the chassis/suspension set up. If the Alpina is on a normal 5 series chassis I would definitely go with the M5 because its just that much more sure footed. Even if Alpina tweaked the chassis the M5 would still the car i would choose. The driving dynamics are that much better, honestly.
