The German refiner of BMW automobiles has today unveiled a car that could
easily be called the M7. The all-new Alpina B7 xDrive stands for luxury paired
with dynamics, performance and comfort at the highest level. The 2017 Alpina B7
will be available in September 2016 at selected BMW dealerships across the US.
Alpina B7: Exterior Design
The appearance of the 2017 Alpina B7 xDrive is defined by athletic flair and
elegance. The Alpina design and aerodynamic elements emphasize its performance
character, with the front and rear spoiler striking a harmonious balance and
highlighting the powerful presence of the 2017 Alpina B7 xDrive. The design
blends form and function - the aerodynamic components reduce lift on the front
and rear axles to almost zero for maximum driving stability at all speeds.
Openings at the front of the vehicle allow the precise and effective flow of air
to the individual components of the high-performance cooling system. The iconic
BMW kidney grille is fitted with an integrated air flap control system that
adapts to the Alpina B7 xDrive's cooling needs: when closed it further reduces
the level of aerodynamic drag.
The 20-inch Alpina CLASSIC wheels with twenty spokes and concealed air valves
give the powerful Alpina B7 xDrive a touch of elegance and lightness. In the
interests of weight reduction and a striking technical appearance, the optional
21-inch Alpina CLASSIC forged wheels with visible wheel bolts do not feature
concealed air valves and wheel caps.
The Alpina sports exhaust system features two elliptical twin tailpipes that
reflect the performance of the all-new Alpina B7 xDrive and its powerful V8
engine. They are precisely integrated in the rear apron and give the rear a
smooth, elegant look.
The exclusive paint finishes in Alpina Blue metallic and Alpina Green metallic
are a hallmark feature reserved solely for Alpina automobiles. Other BMW and BMW
Individual paint finishes are also available for the 2017 Alpina B7 xDrive.
Alpina B7: Interior and Equipment
An extensive range of standard equipment ensures maximum well-being and comfort,
including high-end Nappa leather, comfort seats, a leather-covered instrument
panel, ceramic inserts on selected control elements and soft close doors.
Equipment features that enhance effortless driving also come as standard in the
new Alpina B7 xDrive, such as a full-color Head-Up Display, a rear view camera,
the latest BMW navigation and communication and infotainment systems.
Alpina details add exclusivity and individual style to the interior.
Hand-finished using exceptionally high-quality LAVALINA leather, the sports
steering wheel with blue and green stitching is captivating at the very first
touch due to its gentle feel. Timeless Piano lacquer or classic Myrtle Luxury
Wood - the Alpina interior trim, door sills with blue illumination, Alpina B7
model inscriptions and an individual production plaque are further examples of
exclusive equipment features in the new Alpina B7 xDrive.
Another exclusive Alpina design is the full-color digital instrument panel in
LED technology. In Comfort Mode it offers a classic look featuring round
instruments with blue background and red needles. In Sport Mode the display
changes to a more dynamic design with blue and green drag indicators and a focus
on primary information, such as the centrally positioned permanent digital speed
read-out.
