2007 BMW Alpina B7
Although relatively obscure in North America, Alpina has long been a top BMW tuner in Europe. While the tuner offers potent power packages for 3 and 5 Series Bimmers, BMW won't promote Alpina wares as it would be in direct competition with those of its popular M3 and M5 super screamers. Yet, with no plan to produce an M7, BMW has teamed with Alpina to offer a dealership-sold tuner 7 Series.

The BMW Alpina B7 offers M-like upgrades of power, handling, and style for a car that delivers a huge performance gain while retaining a luxurious ride. Similar to the new M5, the B7 delivers a stout 500 horsepower due to an 11.5psi boost delivered from an Alpina-engineered centrifugal supercharger system paired with an intercooler. Unlike most centrifugal superchargers, Alpina's operates in total silence. A special crankshaft, upgraded connecting rods, heavy-duty pistons, and unique head gaskets ensure the V-8 engine can withstand repeated high-boost forays. Larger-capacity fuel injectors, special spark plugs, and custom computer calibration maintain the air/fuel mixture according to spec. A unique exhaust system employs metallic catalysts (versus traditional ceramic type) to keep the exhaust flowing fast and clean. Read Article

Only the ass end looks ugly but don't worry, the car will soon be totally ugly from parking lot door dings as it has no protective side strips to protect against lo-lifes who carelessly throw their car door open against the car parked beside them.

You obviously are not balanced. Don't compare this to some blinged out pimp mobile. It is understated and what a great performer...your taste is in your mouth - idiot

why not compare it to a blinged out pimp mobile? as soon as you see it in person, you think a crack dealer drives it...although they'd use chrome DUB rims instead

I actually like the updated 7 series and I think its on par style wise with the competitors and the kits on this one dont change that imo. Looks good and has alot of power.

BTW, before being thoroughly impressed by the 535xi on a test drive, I sat in a 750Li in the showroom yesterday. I was disappointed. It's definitely showing its age and looks much older than the A8. The interior is now cheaper than the 5 Series and the buttons are last-gen tech. It's not the best-driving car in this class, or the best-looking, or the most luxurious. There's no reason to buy it.

Hey! at least peole will mistaken this BMW 7 for something else if you know what I'm mean. Like the Audi A8, people mistaken for a VW Passat you know.

M53R, people keep buying because of the name and that is all. It interior is inferior when compare to Lexus, Infiniti, Audi and MB.
