i really really really fancy an alfa for some strange unknown reason, i love the looks of them the interiors etc and i especially love the brera. i'd love the V6 4wd version, but i just think with all the costs i'll end up hating it for what it costs. but the 2.4 diesel offers the same package but a slightly different delivery.
i will have a look the bmw's though, i know the bmw engines are good.
