New Alpnia B7!!!

[nbristow01]

Had my car at a car show this morning. There was a new 7 series Alpina B7. Holy smokes was that a nice car. Complete with Alipna rims and even Alpina emblems in them. I did not know they were still doing Alpinas. Anyone know the specs on these cars?

Alpina has been doing pretty much every series of BMW. Even two versions of the E46 3 Series. They have specs on their cars online. And yes, the B7 is very nice.

Man I had no idea they were still doing cars. Dallas is not the hugest BMW scene, more Bentley's, Maybachs, A Martin on every freaking corner in downtown. Lots of muscle cars also

I was Glad to see that Alpina

Yup still around. They do the high performance versions just like AMG does to the Benz. All done with factory warranties and through the BMW dealer if I am correct.

You are correct as to the warranty. From what I understand Alpina will do about 1000 B7s worldwide with less than half coming to US.

Join the CCA and get tons of good info on the new cars (like the B7) featured every month in the Roundel Magazine. You can also get a discount on parts from BMW dealers. Those two guys Mike Self and Rob Siegel have good columns (along with the other contributing writers).

Mike and his wife Carol somehow attend almost every '02 related event. Rob was at this year's V@V in NC with his Coupe.

The B7 also makes a pretty decent track toy...

The old school mid-80's B7 Turbo was also pretty cool.

The fact that Dallas has its share of Bentleys or Muscle cars on every freaking corner means what? A lot of us are from small towns, but we read and somehow manage to find out what's going on in the outside world.

Roy - both your B7 and M5 are fantastic! Loved the feature in the August Hemming's Sports & Exotic Magazine.
