Overview
- BMW showed the Vision BMW Alpina at the 2026 Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este as a one-off design study for the brand’s next chapter.
- The 5,200 mm four-seat coupe uses a V8 engine and sets out a long-distance grand-touring brief rather than track-focused performance.
- BMW’s design chief Adrian van Hooydonk said the study sits on an 8 Series Gran Coupe chassis to secure a longer wheelbase and spacious rear seats.
- BMW is positioning Alpina between its core lineup and Rolls-Royce with a comfort-first calibration, including a distinct Comfort+ mode and discreet luxury.
- The first production Alpina is expected in 2027 on the 7 Series platform, with limited volumes near historical levels and an X7-based model likely to follow.
