went to a dark side completely!
Just to share my experience with you guys , I know some of you have same mind as I'm .
So first is I thought I'll have my hellcat modded and keep it at respectful lvl 800-850 rwhp but my good friend made me to get in to bmw world I couldn't decline the offer so now I have alpina B7 with 13000 miles on the clock
Alpina is amazing , well .. I know it's more pricy than E class and even rs7 but I have no other car in my hands . I have it only for couple days but I like it a lot , more than E ? Absolutely yes . cost of maintenance probably crazy , depreciation is bad (bad as benz) but in terms of cruiser B7 is awesome .
1 thing is not there - sound , and second is ugly steering wheel . the rest is equal or better than E . cant tell about reliability yet . millage is the same .
Hellcat - wild wild ***** and I like it that way .
BTW stock HC result
This is in KPH
sound
so I'm all set for now

Alpina's are head turners for sure. Not the fastest 7, but plenty quick for what it is. I'm surprised that the 7 doesn't look any bigger than the HC. Almost looks like the HC is even wider.

I have always liked the Alpina B7. Did you see the latest one:

Alpina mods those cars very nicely. I always walk very slowly past those in the parking lots. This is w/o the x-drive, right? I'm guessing you prefer this over your old E63 in large part to that? I wonder if the W213 will offer more of the feel you like in the B7.
I do wish the US had the RS6 Avant option... would be nice to have choices, but take what you can get (for wagons).
Enjoy.

I just picked up a 16 charger hellcat to sit next to my E63 wagon....I agree with the acceleration monster comment about the mopar. The car is a blast to drive.
