ALPINA ALPINA 7 Series G72 Coming With G70 Facelift: Report According to a reliable insider, BMW is resurrecting the ALPINA B7 with the 7 Series LCI and is even giving it a dedicated codename, G72. According to BMW Blog, it's rumored that the first Bimmer to receive the BMW Alpina badge will be the LCI (Life Cycle Impulse, BMW's word for "refreshed") the G70.
