BMW and supertuner-partner ALPINA have created a high-performance model for M-starved 7-Series customers - the BMW ALPINA B7.
The heart of the 2006 BMW ALPINA B7 is a supercharged version of BMW's 4.4-liter V8, delivering 500 hp through a 6-speed automatic transmission. The 500 hp V8 makes 516 ft-lb of torque at 4,250 rpm, hustling the big sedan from 0-60 mph in 4.8 seconds.
To go along with the extra power, ALPINA upgrades the rest of the 7-Series with the B7 aero kit, a sport-tuned suspension with Active Roll Stabilization, and 21-inch ALPINA wheels.
The BMW ALPINA B7 will be released in July, but only 200 B7s are coming to the U.S. in 2006.

I hate rear bumpers that recede higher than the rest of the car, kind of like the nsx
looks good to me and a friend who deals with alpina orders says that for an extra amount you can get an uprated version of the m5 v10 but im not supposed to mention that

:confused: "Super 7 Series" :confused: I'd prefer the regular 7-series this car looks too much like the 5-series and it's price will probibly be 80K+. And drive that idrive into the paper shreader.

That really is an ugly rear end. Its unbalanced and it looks like BMW went cheap on some of the design aspects of the car.

Well its only 3-4 tenths faster then the V12 7-series. Should just add 50HP to that V12 and you have this car no need for a new engine. For the price of this car I would just get an M5.

I guess my question is why release a car like this? Why put more strain on your production line when you can just pump out more 3, 5 and 7 series cars? And probobly, the M5 would be more worth the money than one of these. I love BMW, but this is just stupid.

Found a nice site that lists current information on cars. There are picture galleries of all types of cars, including cars that are not at the dealerships yet, like the cool new BMWs.

Nice way to spam your site on the first post, and to top it off doing so in the 3rd person like we don't know it's your site. :rolleyes:
I better find a link to CF on your site, or your link is gone by morning.
