Alpina E30
The E30 is a typical example of the Alpina way of thinking; subtle and stylish, but almost only as a by-product of functionality. Unlike some other tuning and styling companies, the Alpina variants of the E30 are not "pumped up" as such. Rather, they are a refinement of the BMW car. Aston Martin's DBS is sometimes referred to as the "gentleman thug" for it's elegant styling and handling, coupled with a very aggressive and powerful engine. If it were a man, he'd be wearing tweed, carrying a cricket bat, and possibly thinking about using it on you. The E30 Alpina can been seen in a similar way; a man in a stylish dinner suit, who hides a steel truncheon in his jacket, just in case you want to play rough.
