Product Overview

Alpina B5 F10 is an executive sedan in production from 2011 to 2017. It was available with a modified N63B44 4.4-liter bi-turbocharged V8 engine. Based on the F10 BMW 550i, the B5 features larger turbochargers, reinforced heads, and strengthened bottom end. The same engine was also found in the B7 F01/F02 and the B6 E63/E64.
For this generation, BMW finally brought out double-wishbone front suspensions. This update can also be found in the F10 B5.
For the facelift (LCI) model, Alpina further modified the engine and managed to elevate the power output significantly.
A special edition of the F10 B5 was the Edition 50 to celebrate the brand's 50th anniversary.
