BMW Alpina B7 Bi-Turbo first sent to Abu Dhabi
Abu Dhabi Motors, the exclusive importer of BMW, Rolls-Royce, MINI and ALPINA in Abu Dhabi and Al Ain, is the first importer in the world to officially take delivery of the new BMW ALPINA B7 Bi-Turbo. This exclusive model comes with a unique ‘001’ car number, reflected on its headliner plate, identification befitting its status as the newest high performance model from the world famous ALPINA manufacturer. Based on the flagship BMW 7 Series, the BMW ALPINA B7 Bi-Turbo sets new standards for vehicle performance, safety, luxury and classic design.
The Bi-Turbo power chain that graces this luxury saloon delivers powerful and torque-laden performance, while simultaneously improving fuel economy. The all-aluminum 4.4L V8 engine yields 507 hp at a moderate 5500 rpm, with a maximum torque of 516 lb-ft available between 3000-4750rpm. This exclusive model accelerates fiercely and effortlessly, sprinting from 0-60 mph in 4.5 seconds, and pressing on to an electronically-limited 175 mph top speed.
Allied to this exceptional power chain is the ALPINA SWITCH-TRONIC transmission, which has been programmed to shift gears with exceptional smoothness and comfort in automatic mode, instantly transforming to manual mode through fingertip control when required.
ALPINA’s quest for truly neutral handling yields integrated state-of-the-art electronic suspension technologies, skillfully and subtly tailored to the requirements of each customer. As part of the B7 Bi-Turbo standard equipment, the electronic suspension system with Dynamic Damping Control and Dynamic Drive (active roll stabilization) enable the driver to select from three distinct suspension set-ups: Comfort, Normal and Sport. The B7 Bi-Turbo offers the driver unparalleled versatility, delivering on long-distance comfort just as readily as on back-road pace, always with a maximum of enjoyment and safety.
At once dynamic, graceful and potent, the fresh design language of the BMW ALPINA B7 Bi-Turbo is underlined by the evolution of the traditional 20-spoke 21-inch ALPINA CLASSIC wheels which impart a distinctive appearance and powerful stance. The exclusive model is available with full ALPINA Individuality options including an ALPINA Green exterior, a color exclusive to ALPINA, as well as a two-tone green and silver interior in Lavalina leather. This exclusive model is also available with the full range of BMW 7 Series advanced technologies and driver innovations such as Head-up Display, Lane Departure Warning, i-Drive control system, and 4-wheel steering.
When climbing into the B7 Bi-Turbo, one immediately takes note of the ALPINA door sill trims which are finely illuminated in blue. The SWITCH-TRONIC steering wheel is gloved and hand-stitched in the finest, most comfortable LAVALINA leather. In the driver’s line of sight, red pointers over a field of blue dials grace the instrument cluster, where a Black-Panel LCD screen is responsible for communicating driver-important information.
Exclusive interior luxury wood trim in the form of Myrtle Burl, a knotted burl of the Laurel only found on the Pacific Coast of the United States, provides a warm and traditional ambiance. Optional ALPINA Piano Lacquer interior trim offers a modern and just as exclusive alternative.
