The BMW Alpina B7 represents the second generation of Alpina automobiles based on the BMW 7-Series to be offered in the US. The first BMW Alpina B7 was offered as a limited edition for the 2007 and 2008 model years. Newly interpreted and based on the current BMW 7-series platform, the B7 will again set the benchmark in terms of performance, refinement, technology, luxury, and exclusivity.
Yielding exquisite levels of power and torque from the twin-turbocharged 4.4- liter V8, and in conjunction with the electronically-adjustable suspension with active roll stabilization, the new B7 promises to offer a spectrum of driving experiences so broad as to be unheard of in this class of automobiles. The evolution of the traditional 20-spoke 21-inch Alpina Classic wheels underline the fresh design language found throughout the B7 and impart it a distinctive appearance and powerful stance.
Both short- and long-wheelbase models will be offered. The BMW Alpina B7 will go on sale at authorized BMW Centers in Spring of 2010. Pricing will be announced closer to the on-sale date.
The B7 sedan is equipped with BMW's twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter, all-aluminum, V-8 engine which has been enhanced by Alpina and is capable of producing 500 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque. This rear-wheel drive performance/luxury Sedan achieves 0-60 mph in 4.5 sec. With maximum torque available across an unusually broad engine range, from 3,000 to 4,750 rpm, the B7 accelerates effortlessly from virtually any speed.
This wide power band coupled with the six-speed sport automatic transmission gives the driver remarkably high levels of power and capability in every driving situation.
The BMW Alpina B7 builds on the state-of-the-art adaptive suspension technologies of the 7 Series, including tuned Dynamic Damping Control and Active Roll Stabilization, to the demanding requirements of a high performance sedan. Shorter and uniquely calibrated springs reduce front and rear ride height by 0.6 inch and 0.4 inch, respectively. Dynamic Damping Control and Active Roll Stabilization enable the driver to select from three distinct suspension set-ups: Comfort, Normal and Sport.
Together with the 21" wheel and tire combination, the suspension is at once sensitive to inputs and direct in its feel, yet free from the harshness of a purely sports-oriented suspension. The light-weight 21" wheels are shod with Michelin PS2 tire set-up: 245/35 R21 front and 285/30 R21 rear.
The B7 sedan is finished with Alpina aerodynamic developments, including front and rear spoilers which not only enhance the appearance but also improve stability and performance at high speeds. The spoilers reduce lift at the front by 30% and rear by15%. The exhaust system's two double tailpipes are seamlessly integrated into the rear bumper.
Discreet metal Alpina emblems adorn the upper seatbacks of the standard leather Comfort seats and are inlayed in the wood trim. An additional Alpina plaque indentifying the car is mounted on the inner roof panel just ahead of the sunroof. Even the engine bay carries a subtle signature by tidily presenting itself with a newly-designed Alpina engine cover.
