Alpina B7 Next level speed and refined interior. Exclusivity: See them as seldom as once twice a year, maybe Cons: wheels are fragile they do bend; get wheel and tire warranty. Do not drive in snow or on ice with 21” wheel and tire kit! I tried, and did 2 360’s … It cost to be the boss. Wheels and tires are expensive and have to be replaced, nothing is cheap ;)
There is no comparison between an Alpina B7 and a generic 7 series. The Alpina is an icon and represents BMW engineering grand mastery. Were you not allowed to drive it in sport? Comfort plus is kind of a boring setting for it even though it's still powerful and gave you a nice reaction. I personally enjoy regular comfort or sport in this generation of 7 series. It is 2 different cars between these 2 settings. Lux plus is too old man and has no purpose in the B7 and is only there cuz it's standard for 7 series of that generation. Also kind of unfortunate to see a B7 in black. It's gotta be the official Alpina blue or green. It's a head turner. Everyone you drive by rubber necks for those 2 colors because it simply does not exist. To see a B7 on average I see about 50 Bentleys. It's like seeing an S65. They are soooo incredibly rare and 99.999% of people have no idea what it is. It truly is a unicorn. A body builder in a suit - it has the power if you need it (which you don't), but that's part of the flex. Nice review. I can tell you are a fan of Doug because you have adopted some of his vernacular :)
BMW has LOST ME. I can't get on board with the buttonless gimmickry of iDrive 8.x, the lack of physical buttons, touch capacitive garbage, the lame and cheap digital gauges, etc.

Beauty and Soul=old models ....just cant swallow these recent designs
I only recently discovered your channel. Great review. I'd definitely take the Alpina if it was in good condition.
Not using sport mode in an Alpina is criminal😭
Which one is better in 7 years periodic time??

7 actually! And I’ve driven well over 500 cars. I may look 18 but I’m actually 23 🤣
