Alpina B3 Touring
7.0 / 10
Involvement 7.5 / 10
Why 7.0: No DougScore, but huge enthusiast pull: forbidden-ish wagon body, Alpina calibration, everyday miles and less track cosplay than an M3.

The long version
The B3 Touring is the Alpina sweet spot: enough performance to humble old supercars, enough compliance to cross countries, and enough wagon utility to make the purchase feel almost rational. It is not a track car, and that is the point. Owners buy them because the car solves a real life while still feeling like a secret handshake. That earns a high score even without Doug coverage: it spreads the axis better than another limited supercar would.
