    Hey all,

    I was up in the Helix on Monday and heading back to my car I saw what I thought was another 5-series pulling out of the space beside mine only as it turned I saw the back and the badge was definitely not a BMW badge and it had scripty wording under the engine size. I'm mad to know what it could have been.

    Unfortunately, I was distracted keeping my 2 year old daughter and 3 year old nephew in out of the way of cars that I didn't get a full look but the badge was sort of similar to a vauxhall badge.

    I know someone on here will know what it is! :D

    Just Wiki'ed the Alpina and you could be right, though the badge doesn't look familiar, though it was dark and as I was busy with the kids!

    Cheers! :D

    it could be a Hartge - this would be a very rare sighting over here. Hartge are a German tuning company specialising in BMWs. Alpinas are a rare enough sight on our roads, but i've only ever seen two Hartges.

    Or it could also be AC Schnitzer, but afaik Schnitzer only do body styling rather than mechanical overhaul (open to correction on this point)
