Overview
- The 5.2‑metre 2+2 coupe was shown at Villa d’Este as a design study for future BMW Alpina models.
- BMW says it will not build this car, but the concept’s front‑mounted V8 and comfort‑led tuning preview the brand’s character.
- The first production BMW Alpina is confirmed for 2027 on the 7 Series platform, with an X7 to follow, according to engineering chief Joachim Post.
- BMW is placing Alpina above its core lineup but below Rolls‑Royce and is targeting roughly 2,500 cars a year in markets that favor ultra‑luxury, including China.
- The study revives hallmark Alpina details and tech expected to inform production, including shark‑nose styling, 20‑spoke wheels, hand‑painted deco stripes, a rhomboid touchscreen, and crystal glasses that rise from the rear console.
