2004–2008 Alpina 7 Series B7 Specs & Performance

The Alpina B7 brings a distinctive performance character to the E65-generation BMW 7 Series, combining the presence of a full-size executive sedan with the urgency of a supercharged V8. Its understated exterior preserves the formal appearance expected of BMW's flagship, while Alpina's engineering gives the car a more sporting identity. Rather than sacrificing its luxury-sedan character for outright aggression, the B7 balances everyday refinement with the ability to deliver rapid acceleration and effortless high-speed cruising. Its rear-wheel-drive layout also maintains the traditional character of a powerful front-engine executive car.

For the 2004–2008 model range, the B7 features a supercharged 4.4-litre V8 producing 493 hp at 5,500 rpm and 516 lb-ft of torque at 4,250 rpm. A six-speed automatic transmission sends power to the rear wheels. AutoSpecsHub lists a top speed of 186 mph and a 0–60 mph time of 4.7 seconds. The sedan has a listed curb weight of 4,299 lbs, combined fuel economy of 18.4 mpg, and luggage capacity of 17.7 cubic feet.
