As ever, Alpina elevates BMW to a higher level.
There's something special about any Alpina. The Buchloe, Germany company takes an artistic approach to modifying BMW models, making a lot of big tweaks to produce something that's somehow quite subtle. There's little emphasis on huge horsepower, or track-ready handling, or the styling flourishes that come with that, and a great obsession with refining standard BMW models to a high degree of sophistication.That's all present in the current Alpina B8.
An Alpina never shouts about how great it is, or makes reference to vast capabilities. It just goes about its business in quiet, and with utmost competence.Alpina has done a superb job elevating the 8 Series Gran Coupe's appearance. This swoopy four-door was always a handsome car, but with Alpina's subtle styling tweaks, plus its signature green paint and multi-spoke wheels—21 inches in diameter and forged—the B8 is gorgeous.
