Nope but that much HP needs a lot of cooling! ;)

$13k for HP increase is a lot of money spent back then. The green color makes it look odd. The white model looks great. Even gray is not bad from a front view.

it might have been rather frustrating to have paid that sort of money for an engine upgrade only to have BMW bring out the 4.8iS within 12-18 months with an engine developed by Alpina but sold by BMW for only a small price bump over the 4.4?
