About BMW Alpina B7
The BMW Alpina B7, based on the BMW 7 Series, was unveiled at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show. In North America, it is known as the BMW Alpina B7 and is the third BMW Alpina B7 model to be introduced in the United States. It features new NGK spark plugs and a new air-to-water intercooler that directs air to the intake manifold via short intake manifolds. It also has an improved cooling system with large-diameter pipes to increase fluid flow and additional external water and oil coolers. With these modifications, the engine produces 608 hp at 6,250 rpm.
The BMW Alpina B7 is available with AWD. Alpina has recalibrated the xDrive system used in the 750i, in particular the air suspension. It can be controlled via the Dynamic Control button. The suspension is now an Active Comfort Drive suspension with road stability function, active roll stabilization, and active steering integrated into the rear axle. All-wheel drive is largely concentrated on the rear wheels. The interior of the BMW Alpina B7 is undoubtedly well designed and luxurious. The car also has some unique Alpina features, such as luxurious myrtle wood furniture. The handmade leather steering wheel is decorated with a circular company logo and blue-green stitching around the edges.

The 20x8.5-inch front and 20x10-inch rear steel wheels are fitted with Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires. Optional 21-inch forged wheels and tires are available. The use of conventional tires instead of wheels saves 2.5 kg of unsprung weight per wheel. The brake discs are 395 mm at the front and 370 mm at the rear. They have four fixed pistons at the front and two floating ones at the rear and are painted Alpina blue. The brakes were supplied by Brembo. The interior is upholstered in Lavalina or Tartufo leather in the color of your choice. Several interior options are available, including Alpina's signature wood color, Piano Black or Myrtle.
