ABOUT THE 2019 BMW ALPINA B7 XDRIVE
The 2019 BMW Alpina B7 xDrive is Alpina’s high-performance take on the long-wheelbase G12 7 Series. The body is built by BMW in Dingolfing and finished by Alpina in Buchloe, Germany. It uses an Alpina-developed version of BMW’s 4.4-litre twin-turbocharged V8, rated at 600 hp and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm), with an eight-speed automatic and xDrive all-wheel drive. Alpina quoted 0–60 mph in 3.5 seconds and a top speed of 193 mph.
The final pre-facelift year
The G12-based B7 was introduced for the 2017 model year, and 2019 was the last year before the 7 Series facelift, which brought new front-end styling to the 2020 B7. That makes the 2019 car the final version with the original, more restrained G12 face.
Character
Alpina’s philosophy differs from BMW M: the B7 is tuned for high-speed comfort rather than track use. It has Alpina-specific suspension tuning, a unique exhaust and Alpina’s signature multi-spoke wheels, along with the interior detailing and badging the brand is known for. Despite its pace, it remains quiet and relaxed at cruising speeds.
Ownership notes
Running costs are similar to other V8 7 Series models, with air suspension and complex electronics to look after. Alpina parts are specific to the car, so specialist knowledge helps. Low production numbers mean condition and history are especially important on a used example.
Rivals
The B7 competed with the Mercedes-AMG S 63 4MATIC+ sedan and the Porsche Panamera Turbo.
