Alpina's version of the BMW 7 Series. The firm from Buchloe in Bavaria has reworked BMWs since the 1960s and is recognised in Germany as a carmaker in its own right. The B7 of this era used a twin-turbo V8 and Alpina's trademark multi-spoke wheels, and aimed at fast, quiet travel rather than lap times.
