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!

Alpina models from BMW have always been fancy cars and cool rides for both youngsters and older fellows, as it has always combined the pleasure of driving and the beautiful body design. Now, BMW has sent the Alpina B5 Edition 50 at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show, as a tribute to the carmaker`s 50 years of existence on the market.

But the bad news is that the latest edition from Alpina, the B Edition 50 will be limited, with only 100 units to be produced. However, the Alpina B Edition 50 model will not come cheap, even if the prices have not been yet revealed. There are always sources and reports to back these rumors.

Since we are talking here about a special model, the B Edition 50 will come completely configured with a lot of high-performance components, like the optional performance brakes with four-piston calipers, the mechanical slip differential lock, the Brembo 395 mm diameter brake discs, or the control systems.

And if that wasn’t enough, the BMW Alpina B Edition 50 will also come with the Akrapovic titanium exhaust system, the carbon fiber panels, or the 20-inch forged alloy wheels.

Inside, the BMW Alpina B Edition 50 will come with a variety of interesting gizmos, like the Alpina logos all over the cabin, the Edition 50 lettering, the black and green seats, the backrest center panels and a few more.

Under the hood, the BMW Alpina B Edition 50 will fit a 4.4-liter V8 biturbo unit, which will churn out an impressive 600 horsepower and 800 Nm of torque, which will make the hot ride sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.2 seconds, at a topping of 330 km/h.

Frankfurt Motor Show will make a great entrance for numerous units and car makers looking to wow the crowds, yet one of those main actors is expected to be Alpina, with its unit built by the current BMW 3 Series.

The close relationship between Alpina and BMW is already more than popular, the German tuning house being entirely dedicated to Bavarian Motors’ work.

Just to refresh your mind, the latest masterpiece of Alpina was the B3 Bi-Turbo unit derived from the BMW 335i unit, carrying 410 HP. If that one was introduced during Geneva Motor Show, for this year’s Frankfurt Motor Show they took BMW’s 3 Series unit and turned it into a D3 Bi-Turbo.

This time, the tuned unit should carry six cylinders in line, with a 3.0 liters capacity. The diesel bi-turbo engine should generate up to 350 HP and go from 0 to 100 km/h within less than 5 seconds.

Those familiarized with the previous work of BMW and Alpina know that this configuration is getting pretty closer to the last one so we are all anxiously waiting for the middle of September, when all these should open in front of our eyes.

We recently talked about the Alpina event at Goodwood. I am talking about the revealing event of the new model from Alpina, the model that I like to call it the 500 horsepower 5 Series, B5. Many manufacturers revealed new models or special editions of existing models at Goodwood, Mercedes also revealing the special edition Mercedes C63 AMG DR520.

Although the Alpina B5 will offer a close horsepower amount compared to the future M5, the new Alpina B5 adopts a different transmission. Is about the ZF gearbox unit with eight reports, increasingly used by the premium manufacturers. On the other hand, we can expect that the future BMW M5 to use a manual double-clutch transmission.

The starting price for the new Alpina B5 has not been published yet, but it will take most likely out of the pocket from 85,000 euros. Even we don’t know exactly the starting price, we know that the first deliveries will start only in autumn.

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.
