ALPINA
A FINE APPRECIATION FOR
THE ART OF THE AUTOMOBILE.
The truly extraordinary is reserved for the most discerning customer – and the
2013 BMW ALPINA B7 is the rarest prize on the road. Like a finely tailored
suit, each curve and contour reflects its elegant, bespoke nature. As with any
brilliant symphony, every component works together in perfect harmony to
deliver an experience beyond the sum of its parts. And like any masterful work
of art, it is truly exceptional, unique and timeless. When you get behind the
wheel of the BMW ALPINA B7, you will know what it feels like to leave the
ordinary behind.

DESIGN
PERFECTION, UPDATED.
Customized exactly to your specifications, the BMW ALPINA B7 is like
no other vehicle on the planet, because every iteration is unique. Build
your BMW ALPINA B7 model from the ground up. Choose either standard
wheelbase, for assertive handling and maneuvering, or long wheelbase,
with its emphasis on elegance and extra rear-cabin spaciousness. Select
either sDrive – BMW’s de rigueur sporty nomenclature – or xDrive, for the
added versatility of intelligent all-wheel drive.
From there, the sky’s the limit – and over 30 new parts contribute to the
automotive magic, creating a more aerodynamic exterior design. New kidney
grilles, Xenon Adaptive Headlights and LED front foglights complete the
functional features.

LUXURY
TRUE LUXURY KNOWS
NO BOUNDS.
The 2013 BMW ALPINA B7 brings a level of sophistication few vehicles
can match. Its exclusive nature is reinforced with, for example, the ALPINA
Blue Metallic exterior paint and signature 21-inch 20-spoke wheels. What
you see outside is only part of the story. Inside, hand-finished details and
subtle, exquisite materials cover every inch of the cabin. Striking wood trim
and lush leather upholstery options deliver the premium feel you expect in
a vehicle of this caliber.
New standard features include engine Auto Start-Stop and ceramic
controls, while options, such as a Bang & Olufsen® High-end Surround
Sound System and Full LED Headlights, let you go the extra mile in
personalization. With the BMW ALPINA B7, there are no compromises.

TORQUE
MORE OF EVERYTHING
THAT MAKES IT POWERFUL.
No mere production car can possibly match the commanding performance
of the 2013 BMW ALPINA B7. That’s because no mere production car
receives the meticulous attention and extensive upgrades that transform
the BMW ALPINA B7 into a world-class automobile. Starting with the
framework of a muscular BMW 7 Series engine, the ALPINA B7 engine is
refined to deliver an astounding 540 hp and 538 lb-ft of torque – far more
powerful than any comparable production sedan in the class.
A new ALPINA 8-speed transmission and BMW’s Valvetronic technology help
to push the BMW ALPINA B7’s maximum speed to a whopping 194 mph,1
with a 0-60 time of 4.3 seconds.2 Each time you’re behind the wheel, it’s
a command performance.
