Product Overview

Alpina B7 G12 is a full-size luxury sedan in production from 2016. It is available with a modified N63 bi-turbo V8 engine that displaced 4.4 liters. ZF 8HP automatic transmission and AWD are standard.
Unlike previous Alpinas based on the BMW 7 Series, the G12 generation is only available in LWB. With Alpina's modifications, the N63 engine (code N63M30) offers a level of performance comparable to that of the N74-powered M760Li. It has classic Alpina cosmetic updates, too.
