About BMW Alpina B7
The Alpina B7 is one of the two Alpina cars offered in the US and Canada, the other one being the Alpina B6. The B7 is produced at the same assembly line in Dingolfing, Germany, along with BMW’s own 7 Series. It can be equipped identically to a normal M760li. However, an exclusive Alpina Green finish is available.
BMW permitted Alpina to produce a high-performance version of its flagship 7 Series, however they did not want it to be a high-revving, BMW M version (which would have been known as a “BMW M7” under the current nomenclature). It has also been suggested that there was no market for an M7 that would have featured the BMW M’s trademark high-rev engine and twin-clutch automated manual transmission, and most customers who desired a performance option in the 7 Series would have gone for the V12-engined BMW 760Li.
Competitors include the Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG and Audi S8. (Source Wiki)
