Articles on Alpina

Alpina Burkard Bovensiepen is an automobile manufacturer that focuses on upgrading BMW vehicles. Founded in 1965, Alpina works with BMW closely in engineering, production, and sales. This separates it from other aftermarket tuners who purchase retail vehicles and change out parts.

Compared to BMW's own BMW M, Alpina's vehicles place more emphasis on a balance between performance and comfort. For example, it uses automatic transmissions when BMW's own M cars use DCTs.
