The 2015 BMW Alpina B7 xDrive is among the most celebrated collaborative masterpieces between BMW and Alpina. It fuses BMW’s engineering prowess with Alpina’s tuning, resulting in a performance sedan with more than an exclusive design.
2015 BMW Alpina B7 xDrive Review
If you’ve ever daydreamed about driving a car that feels like a luxury cruise ship with a hidden supercar-like engine under the hood, the 2015 BMW Alpina B7 xDrive is your ticket to that fantasy. This luxury performance sedan matches the elegance of the 7 Series but adds a dash of Alpina magic, boosting power and handling. Let’s dive into what makes it stand out.
A Driving Experience Beyond the Norm
The heart of the 2015 BMW Alpina B7 xDrive is an engine expertly tuned by Alpina to deliver 540 horsepower and 538 lb-ft of torque. Unlike the standard 7 Series, powered by a less aggressive engine setup, the B7 boasts a 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission featuring Alpina’s Switch-Tronic technology. This ensures seamless and responsive shifts, enabling the B7 to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 4.3 seconds. Furthermore, Alpina enhances BMW’s exceptional chassis with a custom-tuned suspension system and adaptive dampers that adjust to road conditions and driving styles. The steering is also recalibrated to Alpina’s exact specifications, offering a rare level of feedback in this segment.
Luxury Fine-Tuned by Alpina
One thing you can never fault Alpina or BMW for is terrible taste. The 2015 BMW Alpina B7 xDrive continues their tradition of impeccable interior design, featuring a dashboard, steering wheel, and seats covered in LAVALINA leather upholstery, all hand-finished with Alpina’s signature stitching. Beyond aesthetics, comfort is a top priority. The B7’s cabin is thoughtfully designed, with a layout that comfortably accommodates four passengers despite the coupe-like roofline. Rear passengers are far from an afterthought, benefiting from ample legroom and executive seating options. Another nice touch is the ambient lighting that subtly highlights the luxurious materials used throughout the cabin.
Refinement in Every Detail
The exterior of the 2015 BMW Alpina B7 xDrive is neatly styled, with clean lines rather than the aggressive styling cues often seen in performance sedans. It adopts a more elegant approach, highlighted by a longer wheelbase that enhances its refined stance. The B7’s sleek silhouette is further complemented by Alpina design elements, including the 20-spoke Alpina Classic wheels, providing a sporty appearance while contributing to improved handling performance. Even the larger air intakes at the front are functional, enhancing engine cooling, while the discreet rear spoiler improves aerodynamic efficiency and high-speed stability. As expected from a luxury sedan, the paint finishes reflect its rarity. The available Alpina-exclusive hues include the Alpina Blue Metallic and Alpina Green Metallic.
Innovation at the Heart of the Drive
The 2015 BMW Alpina B7 xDrive is good to drive, with plenty of tech to keep you safe, connected, and entertained. At its core is BMW’s intuitive iDrive infotainment system, which features a high-resolution display and supports navigation, media playback, and hands-free communication. Drivers are supported by advanced driver assistance systems, including adaptive cruise control, a head-up display, and lane departure warning, ensuring a safer and more convenient driving experience. For parking and maneuvering, the B7 has a 360-degree surround-view camera and parking assist systems, among other standard safety features. Passengers are equally catered to with available rear-seat entertainment systems and individual climate controls.
Value-Driven Proposition
The cost of a new 2015 BMW Alpina B7 xDrive exceeded $130,000 when it was first released. Today, this exclusive luxury sedan remains highly sought after in the pre-owned car market, with well-maintained models typically priced between $30,000 and $50,000.
