Overview

Competing in the fullsize luxury sedan segment, the 2017 BMW ALPINA B7 is a direct competitor to the Mercedes-Benz AMG S63 Sedan, the Porsche Panamera Turbo Executive, and the Maserati Quattroporte GTS. With a single trim in the lineup, the ALPINA B7 starts off at an MSRP of $137,000. It is offered with a 4.4L twin-turbocharged V8 engine and an 8-speed automatic transmission, producing 600 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque. Through this powertrain, the ALPINA B7 manages a 0-60 of 3.6 seconds and a combined fuel economy of 18 MPG.

Buying Advice

The 2017 BMW ALPINA B7 is an opulent sedan offering blistering-fast acceleration in its segment. There is only one trim offered and we would recommend adding the Rear Executive Lounge Seating package. It makes the already luxurious rear row plusher by adding heated armrests, along with massaging, ventilation, and reclining functions for the rear seats along with a rear seat entertainment system with iDrive control, and an upgraded center console.
