2007 BMW Alpina B7 - Car and Driver
In the company's words, Alpina "builds fine automobiles for the connoisseur. " These are big-torque BMWs with automatic transmissions, more of a luxury bent than BMW's own high-performance M cars. The first thing one of these connoisseurs might notice on the Alpina B7-it amounts to a hot-rodded 7-series-are the mammoth, concept-car-worthy 21-inch, 20-spoke BBS wheels. However, within an hour of the B7's arrival, one of our connoisseurs punctured one of the ultra-low-profile Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 tires. It cost us $500. Phew , good thing he didn't damage one of the zoomy wheels-they're $4200 each. Why the B7. BMW acknowledges there's room for a super 7-series but not a high-revving, hard-core M version.
