View Full Version : Alpina B7 on BMW Website
I was rummaging around the :bmw: website tonight and found this: http://www.bmwusa.com/Vehicles/7/alpinab7
Did this just go up or have I been so busy and distracted lately that I missed it?
I like everything about the Alpina except the somewhat busy wheels and the enormous and street-cleaning front end scoop. And I like all the blue colors it comes in, too.
That's interesting. Surprised to see it on an official BMW website. I don't think we can get Alpina down here. The front end scoop does look out of place.
B7, supercharged, 500 ponies, hmmm.
From the site - Production of the current model 7 Series ALPINA B7 will cease 7/08. - that means they have already stopped making them.

Huh? Unless you're in a different year than the rest of us, there is a year left.

I stand corrected, Thanks. My dyslexia kicked in and too many 7's the 8 thru me off.

Those wheels do nothing for me. I would like the exhaust pipes better if they didn't stand out so much (it is a 7er) and were dual twin - but that would venture into M territory.

Really?
They certainly do something to me...
