Alpina lifts the veil on the B8, which remains a superb alternative to the BMW catalog and the M8 Gran Coupé.The B8 even allows itself to be cheaper than a M8 Gran Coupé.
You probably already know Alpina, this German manufacturer who has an agreement with BMW to rework the latest Bavarian models in an elegant and often relatively sober setting.Alpina does a lot of work on the interior, but also on the outside with the famous "Ronal" rims, discreet Alpina inscriptions and specific shields.
On this B8, the recipe is therefore unchanged.Alpina went there in small touches in all areas.Alpina started from the 850i to partially reach the performance of an M8, with a V8 4.4 pushed to 620 hp.The ZF transmission has been modified by Alpina to agree with the increase in performance, since 0 to 100 is shot in less than 4 seconds.
Inside, the ventilated upholstery is leather, just like the steering wheel.The speed lever is in crystal.If the M8 does in sport, the atmosphere here is more luxurious.
In Germany, the B8 is sold at a price almost similar to that of an M8.But in Germany, standard equipment is much less numerous than in France, where the M8 begins at € 170,000.With us, the Alpina B8 thus becomes a better deal than the M8, since it begins at € 164,150!Certainly less firm and swift than an M8, but more elegant and more "discreet" in style.
