Next year's BMW 7 Series facelift will mark the return of the ALPINA version with a twin-turbo, 4.4. The Alpina Roadster V8 was introduced in 2003 based on the BMW Z8. Following the Alpina tradition, the Roadster was a car more suited for grand touring than a racetrack due to modifications to improve the comfort of the car.
One of these main changes was the removal of the run flat tires in favor of standard tires. The V8 engine was tuned by Alpina in order to achieve greater torque delivery. BMW's First Alpina Model Is Coming-and Could Revive a Classic Luxury V8 Reports indicate Alpina's first product under BMW's full control will likely be the return of the 7 Series.
Overhauled BMW 8 Series with 625bhp V8 is final Alpina model before BMW takes full ownership of the brand. The 2025 BMW Alpina B8 Gran Coupe is a five-passenger sedan equipped with a twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 engine (612 hp, 590 lb-ft of torque), an eight. One of the best examples of this is the Alpina B8 4.6, a V8-powered 3 Series that preceded BMW's own production V8.
