GO THE ALPINA!!!
I nearly got a '76 911 instead of my E34... Thank GOD I didn't!!
The Porsche will draw too much unwanted attention, it'll get 'keyed' the moment you leave it parked somewhere. The Alpina is subtle enough that any uneducated, unappreciative ****wit will usually walk straight past without vandalising it!!!
Plus, the alpina is still brutal... Everyone expects to have their arse handed to them when they tackle a Porsche, the BMW is a little (actually A LOT) less conspicuous!!
Gone but NEVER forgotten. :'(
And then...

Personally I have driven a few 928's, and compared to the 911's it is kind of like a Corvette. Really fast in a straight line, but God help you when there is a turn in the road.

If it has **** or tires, you are going to have problems.

Do you have any idea what he'll be asking for the B10? I am not a big fan of the V8 Porsches, but that is one clean clean clean car.

Unless you want to set your wallet on fire with upkeep costs, avoid the 928. Beautiful, fast tourer but they are hideously expensive to maintain. www.rennlist.com and the 928 board. All you need to know about these cars.
I have never driven an Alpina but that spoiler is naff IMO, as are the graphic strafes all over the side of the car. I would go for the M5 personally, my 3.6 is the best car I have ever owned thus far [which includes 3 911s, a 356, a 968, an e46 M3, and an e46 323Ci]. The M5 is not exactly cheap to maintain, but much less expensive than a 928 I can assure you.
