=================================================
Just found this on Autobild. Translated the article for your reading pleasure. The BMW has the Lexus beat in all areas except fuel consumption. They didn't pick a winner since this was simply a comparison between two new technologies. As usual though, the BMW was more fun to drive and had the better handling traits as well and was more comfortable than the Lexus too.
BMW Alpina D3: 200-hp, 0-100 km/h = 7.7 seconds
Lexus IS220 TTE: 208-hp, 0-100 km/h = 8.9 seconds
