Overview
- BMW revealed a redesigned Alpina roundel that keeps the throttle body and crankshaft motifs, drops the shield, and adopts cleaner linework with a transparent, reduced‑colour look.
- Future BMW Alpina models will be built entirely in selected BMW Group plants, marking a shift away from Buchloe’s boutique finishing to fully integrated factory production.
- Buchloe is being refocused as Alpina Classic for aftersales, parts and heritage, while members of the Bovensiepen family have launched a separate coachbuilding venture.
- The brand retains hallmark cues such as heritage blue and green paint and a sensitively updated 20‑spoke wheel, and it promises superior‑quality leather and extensive bespoke options as standard fare.
- BMW says the first BMW Alpina model will be unveiled later in 2026, with reports pointing to possible electrified variants and UK sales expected in 2027.
