In case you want to compete against an extremely powerful version from AMG – like the new S-Class – or the likes from Audi S8, then you will have to buy the all-new 2017 Alpina B7 xDrive, recently unveiled and coming with a lot of performance and high-end features, that would leave a stock 7-Series from BMW out in dust.

More than that, in case you are not impressed by the new B7 then you should check out an exquisite model wearing the exotic Java Green Metallic and being displayed for a short period of time at BMW Abu Dhabi.

I personally have to admit that it comes with an exquisite treatment at the exterior, the model being adorned with high-end components from BMW` M Performance division. The model seen here mainly comes with luxury highlights inside the cabin.

We are looking here at an extremely high-class interior, thanks to the Individual package, consisting of special wooden trim on the dashboard, doors, center console, all of them complementing the car`s exterior body wrap.

Since we are looking here at a model which is based on a luxury package rather than a performance kit, we have reasons to believe that this Java Green Metallic 2017 Alpina B7 comes with the stock yet high-performance engine.

Underneath, the model brags with a 4.4-liter twin turbo V8 engine, developing a staggering 608 horsepower, available between 5,750 rpm and 6,250 rpm, and a massive 800 horsepower, available at 3,000 rpm.

This also means that the model is capable of sprinting from 0 to 100 km/h in a staggering 3.6 seconds, at a top speed of 311 km/h. So we have got a complete car, with both luxury cabin, exquisite exterior and impressive performance, all-in-one. The model can be also admired in the amazing media gallery below.

There are a lot of attributes that makes an Alpina so visibly different than a BMW model, and that would be a more aggressive attitude, higher-end styling elements and much more performance engines under the hood.

And the latest 2017 Alpina B7 in the xDrive version is the best example that it can successfully replace a BMW model when it comes to fighting back against an S63 or S65 hardcore version from AMG.

The aforementioned model was recently seen online in a smashing photo gallery, which showcases the car`s exquisite design, fine interior and high-class road attitude.

The styling of the new 2017 Alpina B7 xDrive is extremely appealing, aggressive yet attractive, thanks to the Alpina Blue Metallic exterior, highlighted as well by bespoke front and end, front lip spoiler, stainless steel and the 20-inch Alpina Classic wheels with Micheln Pilot Sport tires.

Inside, you feel cozy with the plethora of luxurious features, including Nappa leather on the seats, leather dashboard, ceramic controls, Piano Black or Myrtle Luxury Wood trim, sport steering with blue and contrast stitching, illuminated door sill plates, brand-new digital instrument cluster, head-up display and so on.

The 2017 Alpina B7 xDrive cannot be complete without the impressive powertrain that it comes with under the hood. We are looking here at a 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 engine, which is rather the same one found on the 750i, only that it comes with a higher power. This means no less than 600 horsepower and 800 Nm of torque, allowing a sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in a mind-blowing 3.6 seconds, which makes it way too faster than the Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG, its direct rival.

The 2016 Geneva Motor Show is one of the most important auto events in the world and a lot of carmakers are already preparing their latest projects.

The hardcore division from BMW, Alpina, didn’t waste any time and also prepared the 2017 B7 model for the event, as a confirmation of what Alpina CEO stated a couple of days ago: the B7 is due to come “soon”.

We have already caught the 2017 Alpina B7 on shots, the model being based on the high-end 7-Series from BMW, and coming with modified bespoke front bumper or the trunk-mounted spoiler.

Additional sports features refer to the high-performance wheels or custom dual-exhaust, while the interior comes with the finest touches, like revised instrument cluster, new steering wheel and a few more sporty tweaks.

Under the hood, the 2017 Alpina B7 will use a 4.4-liter TwinPower Turbo V8 engine, also found on the BMW 750i, but developing a whopping 600 horsepower and 800 Nm of torque. This is quite significant than the previous 540 horsepower and 729 Nm of torque.

The previous B7 takes only 4.3 seconds to reach 100 km/h, but recent rumors state that the 2017 edition will be capable to run the same distance in around 4.0 seconds, which is quite impressive. We should expect the model featuring an AWD system or a RWD configuration.

The post New Alpina B7 Teaser Video Released appeared first on BMWCoop | BMW Blog, BMW News, BMW Reviews.

BMW`s special division Alpina is currently working on the next generation of the B7 model, which was recently caught on shots while performing some road tests, before reportedly going to the 2016 Geneva Motor Show for an official debut.

The new BMW Alpina B7 will be launched as a 2017 model and will come up with a series of changes as opposed to the present model, on the exterior as well as on the engine department.

First off, even if the new B7 is wearing a heavy camo at the body, one might depict the styling cues with the Alpine badge, meaning that the body will fit new components, such as the new front bumper with the extended lip spoiler.

Next, the same Alpina badges will also be present inside, where the cabin is also believed to receive higher-end materials as well as updated gadgets.

In the engine department, the 2017 BMW Alpina B7 will carry on the engine lineup seen on the present model, meaning a 4.4-liter V8 unit, also found on the 7-Series 750i. The engine is reported to develop more than the present B7, which goes as far as 540 horsepower and 538 lb-ft of torque.

In the US, we should expect the new B7 to come with an xDrive AWD configuration, which will set it apart from the 7-Series M Performance, which might also emerge on the market next year. Meanwhile, enjoy the spy shots provided by Motor Authority!

The post 2017 BMW Alpina B7 Caught on Shots appeared first on BMWCoop | BMW Blog, BMW News, BMW Reviews.

Following immense speculation, hundreds of renderings and millions of opinions on what Alpina’s B5 Bi Turbo will look like we finally have something to clear things up.

The image you see above is an official teaser of the specialist BMW tuner’s future creation that will be based on the new F10 BMW 5 Series.

Alpina has unveiled today this first image of the B5 Bi-Turbo and along with the event stated that the car will be unveiled at the Goodwood Festival Of Speed which will take place in July between 1st and 4th.

Alpina have announced that, as always, their future car captures the essence of BMW but adds some exclusivity combined with luxurious performance, elegant styling and sporty handling. While the last three may be more or less available with the F10 BMW 5 Series the first one isn’t really going to apply.

The gathering of all of these elements in the design of the Alpina B5 Bi-Turbo will be obvious within the fresh and modern design that takes inspirations from the 2010 BMW Alpina B3 S Biturbo but with more of an Alpina B7 look to it.

Since no specs were released on the car there’s one more thing to make you look forward to the Goodwood Festival of speed (as if there weren’t enough already).

As I previously told you earlier this day, now I’m going to tell you more about the BMW products that are going to be released at the 2010 New York Auto Show which as I said, it is going to happen between the April 2nd and 11th so there is few time left until then.

You should remember that the 2011 BMW Alpina B7 comes with a twin-turbocharged 4.4 liter V8 engine which is going to develop up to 500 horsepower and also a maximum torque of 516 lb-ft so there will be a lot of power happening under the hood of this big car.

I think that for most of you, here it comes the most said part namely that the prices for the 2011 BMW Alpina B7 with the standard wheelbase are starting from $122,875 while the prices for a the 2011 BMW Alpina B7 with the extended standard base are starting from $126,775.

I think that for most BMW fans and even for those people that are not fans, they just like this auto maker, this is great news. I don’t remember the last time when we talked about a BMW Alpina but as you can see in the title, now it is about to come another car from BMW named 2011 BMW Alpina B7 Sedan.

This 2011 BMW Alpina B7 Sedan should have a 500 horsepower engine (the entry level) 4.4 liter V8 which is pretty powerful but at the same time I was waiting for such a big power from this 2011 BMW Alpina B7 Sedan.

Also, the design of this 2011 BMW Alpina B7 Sedan looks to have more unique elements comparing it to the newest 5 series or 3 series or any other new car. Talking again about power, you should know that it can reach 60 miles per hour in just 4.5 seconds.
