BMW Alpina 7-Series Reviewed

The 2010 BMWW Alpina rides into the 2010 model year fresh from its 2009 redesign. The model was unveiled at the Geneva Auto Show, and as with the previous Alpina 7-Series, it's called the B7. This latest model uses a more powerful version of the 400 horsepower, direct injection 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 found in the new 750i and 750Li. This powerful machine will continue to remain in limited numbers in the United States.

According to Alpina, the twin-turbo B7 sprints from 0 to 62 mph in only 4.7 seconds. Top speed is electronically limited at 174 mph. Not too bad for a luxury sports sedan with a six-speed automatic gearbox and room for five people. The ride has also been lowered in the front and rear, and a tiny rear spoiler, Alpina's traditional 20-spoke wheels, and a more aggressive front air intake now add a sport touch to it.
