Acquisition and Documentation
Our charming dealer got their hands on this alpina gem in 2024, just a bright spark in its journey. With 113k miles under its belt, they’re now offering it complete with the window sticker, owner’s manual, service records, a pair of keys, a clean Carfax report, and a squeaky clean Florida title. Quite the package indeed!
Exterior Details
The long-wheelbase design isn’t just about space—it’s an aesthetic statement. Finished in that elegant Mineral White Metallic, it flaunts an Alpina-specific styling package that includes:
- Revised front and rear bumper covers
- Shadowline trim
- A rear spoiler
- Alpina badging
You’ll also find xenon headlights and LED fog lights shining like stars in the night, soft-close doors that whisper shut, heated power-adjustable side mirrors, and polished exhaust outlets. Now, let’s address the elephant—or perhaps a door ding?—the Carfax mentions some previous front end damage, with refinishing done on the front bumper and left-rear quarter panel. But fear not, the front end has received a fresh coat of paint protection film, so it’s ready for the road.
Wheels and Performance
Rolling on 21″ Alpina Classic alloy wheels, which, by the way, have reportedly been refinished. You can expect this beauty to hug the road thanks to its Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) and Dynamic Traction Control (DTC). And when it comes to stopping power? Ventilated discs are mounted at all four corners, ensuring safety is never in question.
Interior Luxury
Step inside, and it only gets better. The heated and ventilated power-adjustable seats are covered in that alluring Saddle Brown Nappa leather, while black leather enchants the upper parts of the dashboard and door panels. Wood trim accents add that elegant touch, and while you relax in this rolling haven, you’ll enjoy all the modern luxuries including:

- Head-up display
- Cruise control
- Power sunshades for rear and side windows
- Comfort Access for ease of entry
- Four-zone automatic climate control
- Seat position memory settings
- iDrive system with navigation
Instrumentation and Odometer
At the helm, the heated three-spoke Alpina steering wheel shimmers with blue and green accent stitching, giving you a firm grip on power. The blue-dial Alpina-branded instrumentation features a 200-mph speedometer staring back at you and a tachometer alongside oil temperature and fuel gauges. The odometer shows a dedicated 113k miles, with about 1k of those added under current ownership.
Engine and Performance
Now, let’s get to the heart of the matter: the engine. Under the hood lies that glorious twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter N63B44 V8, originally rating in at 500 horsepower and a hefty 516 lb-ft of torque. Power, of course, is distributed to all four wheels thanks to the trusty six-speed automatic transmission and the xDrive all-wheel-drive system. And just to keep everything smooth, an oil change was done prior to this sale.
Pricing and History
The window sticker, that glorious piece of paper, showcases all the factory colors, equipment, options, and a total suggested retail price of a whopping $140,775. Now that’s a luxury sedan that speaks volumes without uttering a single word.
The Carfax report does, however, mention all previous damage. But honestly, who among us doesn’t have a few battle scars? This Alpina B7 is ready to take you on your next adventure, all while enveloping you in a cocoon of luxury.
