BMW Alpina

Alpina is based in Buchloe, Germany and manufacturs high-performance versions of BMW vehicles with a grand touring bent.

Compared to the equivalent BMW or BMW M car, Alpina vehicles are focused on delivering high-end luxury appointments and effortless acceleration through torquey and smooth-shifting ZF automatic transmissions with Alpina-specific button shifters in place of paddles.

In Australia, Alpina sells the 4 Series-based B4 Gran Coupe, the 8 Series-based B8 Gran Coupe, the X3-based XD3 and the X7-based XB7.
