Alpina just went solo. Spun off as a separate brand. It feels new. It’s not.
This dates back to the 60s. They were tuning production BMWs for racing before anyone else bothered. The history is there. The legacy is thick. But now the game changes. The first car built by this independent entity will wear the Alpina B7 badge.
Nostalgia play? Maybe. It’s a nod to the 1978 B7 coupe. That car mattered. This one will too.
We saw the Vision BMW Alpina concept. It hints at the direction. Elegant two-door. Ultra-luxury presence. Turbocharged muscle hiding under the skin.
The concept sports a V-8. Turbocharged. Almost certainly. It signals a choice. Internal combustion lives here, at least for now.
Look at the interior. Crystal controls sparkle near your fingers. There’s also the latest BMW panoramic iDrive. It stretches across the dash, wedged below the windshield. The tech is shared, but the vibe isn’t. Alpina plans high customization. You’ll pick what you like.
Can’t wait for production? Buy an XB7. It’s the final Alpina-tuned X7 SUV. They stop making them after 2026. Hurry if you want one.
2029 Is The Earliest Window
The B7 is a clean slate for the freshly branded outfit. Nothing is confirmed yet. Details will drip in as engineering moves forward.
Expect it to arrive as a 2029-model year car. Not sooner. Maybe not much later.
The journey to production is long. We will see what it is when it is built.
The Price Tag? Deep Six-Figures.
No official pricing. No feature list. Standard procedure.
Guess where it lands? Six figures. Deep inside them. Expect to write a large check. When the numbers drop, we will update this. Until then, prepare your wallet.
