As far as wild color combinations are concerned, this Alpina B7 in Mint Green over Merino is pretty loud. According to BMW of Manhattan, “look for it in The Hamptons this summer.”

An individual color is expensive in its own right, but don’t forget this isn’t your average BMW. For starters, the 7 Series is the second most expensive passenger car from Munich, only bettered by the 8 Series. The Alpine badge also adds to the price, and the B7 also happens to be a high-performance land missile.

With xDrive ticked off the options list, the Alpina B7 for the 2020 model year is $142,800 excluding destination charge. The 4.4-liter V8 with twin-turbocharging technology develops no fewer than 600 horsepower and 590 pound-feet, an upgrade of 77 ponies and 37 torques over the standard model from BMW.

That’s 3.5 seconds from zero to 60 in quite a heavy vehicle with one of the most luxurious interiors in the segment. The four-door sledgehammer tips the scales at 4,855 pounds right off the bat, and the Michelin performance tires help the B7 claw into the asphalt when cornering and launching from a standstill.

Alpina claims the range-topping model is capable of 205 miles per hour, a velocity that’s hard to replicate in the United States of America. The steady powerband from 2,000 to 5,000 rpm gives the B7 a lot of grunt in every driving scenario, including high-speed overtaking.

The attention to detail beggars belief. In order to turn the 7 Series into the B7, the peeps at Alpina even modified the ZF 8HP automatic transmission with dedicated software. A total spread of 7.81:1 results in a high level of shift comfort without compromising the high-performance character of the car.

Even the xDrive all-wheel drive comes with Alpina calibration, distributing the engine’s torque between the two axles within milliseconds. A stainless-steel exhaust system with twin elliptical tailpipes rounds off the list of standout features.
