“Alpina works closely with BMW and their processes are integrated into BMW's production lines, thus Alpina is recognized by the German Ministry of Transport as an automobile manufacturer, in contrast to other performance specialists which are aftermarket tuners. For instance, the Alpina B7 is produced at the same assembly line in Dingolfing, Germany (BMW Plant Dingolfing), as BMW's own 7 Series. The B7's twin-turbo 4.4-litre V8 is assembled by hand at Alpina's facility in Buchloe, Germany, before being shipped to BMW for installation, and the assembled vehicle is then sent back to Alpina for finishing touches.” Still a decent review though.
@@user-xw4vg1vy5e Nobody knows what they are and people think it just a aftermarket tuned BMW ... journalists calling it a "tuned BMW" don't help. Actually the depreciation isn't worse than a regular 7-series, but it should be a lot better considering how special they are.
limited ONLY to the amount of people who are willing to buy. They don't put numbers on it they just call it out at the end of the year so its not a limited edition car…..
This is the best looking 7er ever and I’m not a fan of modern cars. It is beautiful and an Alpina which gives you BMW M but with genuine royal level of comfort and styling. This is RUF level of car but in BMW flavor. Only thing I’d change is interior color to a caramel from the E39 M5 or a tobacco dark brown. I’d like to see the iconic Alpina livery panted down the sides too in a semi stealth color to be there but not shout.
You just said that the Alpina cars depreciate fast you’re smoking crack no they do not !! They hold their value longer than a regular BMW and that’s a fact !!! 🙄🙄
M5 has the option.. You can have it in XDrive or hit the button and straight rear wheel…. I drove the Competition and hitting that M button taking off the all wheel is insane. A total rocket ship!
I cant remember the last time i saw a man tucked his polo shirt in his jeans!!! That will be odd in 1950 but we’re in 2020!!! Whats next Wear a blazer with shorts... 🤣🤣🤣
I would have the rarity of this beast being an Alpina would make it more sought after letting the seller name his or her price. If I had 150 grand to spend on a car I might be put off by that depreciation factor.
BMW's are too expensive to maintain, this car will be junked in 10 years or less due to tens of thousands in repair bills for over priced parts and under developed valve stem seals. Germany is bankrupt, BMW is over engineered crap that works for a while then falls apart like an British made car. You don't see old BMWs on the road.
Never trust a man who tucks his Polo Shirt into his Jeans.
Yup, we are all evil. 😈
CarBuzz 😂👍
At least he can dress himself.
Steve D there’s nothing wrong with that ya dirtbag lol
lolololololol
Beautiful car
Alpina are NOT a tuning company they are an independent manufacturer!
Poor choice of words by us, but you are correct. We talk more in-depth about Alpina in our full written review.
@@carbuzzcom Well, the guy driving the car does not have a clue what he is driving.(?)

If it's an own manufacturing company why are they manufacturing cars that are from a different company ie BMW!!!!
The one to B in, or could you say 7th heaven. Certainly a stunningly brilliant car one of the best out there today. Well done Alpina.
Alpina cars are also Limited Edition. Very Very Limited production numbers. Around 1000 to be exact.
So why do they depreciate so bad?

@@BMWPOWERoverboost not true. They only make Limited Numbers period. 800 to 1000. That's it.
@@ReginalBronson and only appx 200 a yr come to North America. Not the US. North America.
6:13 maybe you forget the word “best” or maybe you haven’t been in many back seats
Yeah, meant best. It's wonderful.
yeah he's taken a cack or two in the back seat in his day…. lmao

Real Talk
There is way too much mandatory all wheel drive coming from luxury brands. I miss the choice of all wheel drive and rear wheel drive.
Most automakers are going to AWD because consumers want better 0-60 times and it helps sell to more markets.
M5 has the option.. You can have it in XDrive or hit the button and straight rear wheel…. I drove the Competition and hitting that M button taking off the all wheel is insane. A total rocket ship!
It is not over 200k. Fully loaded it is right at 160k.
-"ThAt fRonT gRiLLe iS hIdEoUs"
Man is it sexy
its not 200 grand jackash
Alpinas depreciate quite heavily? *cries in corner while seeing 2006 B5's at 30k €*
Check Hoovies Garage. Properly falling apart the day after the warranty runs out.
I like the heritage blue paint with the saddle interior
153 is not bad honestly you could probably get a used one in a year or so for 100k
This is the fastest
I love this car.
What a fantastic car🤔
90k miles in and your looking at more problems on it than the middle east and el Salvador put together
I’s crazy cause usually the alpina are the more reliable ones.
Alpina = Maybach IMO. Very nice car. Makes me think twice about getting the M760i. Bu them also the Audi S8 exists!! ;)
Get a better camera
We had an issue where the camera focused on the background instead of the car on this video. Sorry about that.
Best in its class
hand made wood eh?
New s class facelift has Chinese wood 🤦🏽♂️
Bmw
Bmw: what
Nose
These beauties are literally half price at only 4 years old. Great time to buy them.
GOT 2000 BMW 7 SERIES .....BIG MISTAKE TO BUY THAT CAR .... END UP IN THE JUNKYARD ...
Stunning Beautiful!!!!!!
Who is mr. Bovenstein ? Perhaps Bovensiepen ? What's in a name....
A great video. But doesn’t matter how great the video is if it has terrible audio.
Wow Thank You. I Need That Car In That Spec. Absolutely Stunning
This is just like OG vehicle virgins. Bit to bit
I cant remember the last time i saw a man tucked his polo shirt in his jeans!!!
That will be odd in 1950 but we’re in 2020!!!
Whats next
Wear a blazer with shorts...
🤣🤣🤣
Nooo its a gay thing… Doing that is a symbol of gayism…. lol
I would have the rarity of this beast being an Alpina would make it more sought after letting the seller name his or her price. If I had 150 grand to spend on a car I might be put off by that depreciation factor.
Or you buy used ;-)
Alpina is not a tuner, it is a manufacturer!
You can’t make wood with your hands man
Whose here after the road rage incident with the white BMW
??? Do tell.
6:15 what??
B7
Will it gob1000 miles before its breaks down I do not think so and what will it be worth in 1 year.
This is my dream car.
Yep. Same
Wtf is going on bmw 1 to 7 inside is the same that stupid gps on time like aftermarket screen garbage
👍🏽
Junk in 5 years
What type of potato did you shoot this video with?
An expensive one that just wasn't focused correctly at the beginning;)
A $60k Volvo will offer front seats back massage...with larger screen lol
BMWs design team must be lazy.
Why try to change something thats the best?
what is the BMW colour code of this car?
This is an Alpina-specific color.
They call it ALPINA GREEN in europe
This isn’t a typical black guy luxury car. Ya know? (sometimes I’m a bit racist hee hee :-)
"For whatever reason the Alpina models depreciate heavily..."
Well, its a BMW, so....
You are not wrong about the depreciation.
BMW's are too expensive to maintain, this car will be junked in 10 years or less due to tens of thousands in repair bills for over priced parts and under developed valve stem seals.

My dream car, best car out
Nice!
