1996–1998 Alpina 7 Series B12 5.7 Langversion Specs & Performance

The Alpina B12 5.7 Langversion gives the BMW 7 Series an exclusive grand touring character, combining executive-class refinement with the performance of a specially developed V12 powertrain. Based on the E38 generation, this extended-wheelbase luxury limousine retains the understated styling and spacious cabin of BMW's flagship while offering generous rear-passenger accommodation. Its elongated proportions make it particularly suited to comfortable long-distance travel, while Alpina's engineering adds a more performance-focused identity to the traditional luxury sedan. Rear-wheel drive preserves its classic grand touring character, making this a distinctive alternative to conventional executive limousines.
