Alfa Romeo returned to Australia some 12 years ago and while they are still a niche supplier and not as mainsteam as BMW here, I can assure you there interior luxury and styling walks over BMW any day. BMW can only dream of using leather so supple. I purchased the 156 model with Selespeed transmission (like BMW SMG at the time) back in 2001 and kept it for 5 years. Absolutly loved that car. The only thing letting down the Alfa name in this country is the importer and it's dealer network which is nowhere as good as BMW. When that gets fixed, I'd go back for another.
