Vehicle Description
2012 BMW Alpina B7 LWB
In the history of the BMW marque, there is no more venerated, more
legendary, more mythic nomenclature than "Alpina." For more than 50
years now, the tuning House of Alpina has crafted-with BMW's
approval and cooperation-rare and remarkable versions of more
widely available BMW models. Alpina automobiles have always been
distinguished by performance upgrades and options not available on
lesser BMWs. The 2012 B7 (long-wheelbase) offered here in black
sapphire metallic paint over exclusive black Nappa leather, is a
perfect example of the Alpina ethic: remarkable performance and
truly exclusive style.
When new, the car's naturally aspirated 4.4-liter V8 engine
delivered 500 horsepower at 5,000 rpm, and 516 pound-feet of torque
at 3000 rpm, through a 6-speed automatic transmission. ABS and
traction-control were standard. Other standard features included
separately controlled front and rear air-conditioning, 21-inch
Alpina-brand silver-aluminum wheels, navigation system, parking
assist, Sirius satellite radio, heated outside mirrors, remote
keyless entry and more.
The options list (shown in the photo gallery) for this car is the
longest such document we've ever seen for a BMW. It shows, among
many other options: soft-close-automatic doors, glass sunroof,
climate-controlled seats front and rear, fine-grain ash wood
inlays, leather-covered instrument panel with ceramic appliques on
the controls, rear-compartment entertainment system, Alcantara
headliner, and, of course, the "Alpina package."
This B7 has accumulated just under 62,000 documented miles from
only two private owners. Its service- history shows regular
maintenance at appropriate intervals, and is complete and
up-to-date. The car's only CarFax issue occurred less than six
months after delivery, and involved front-end damage (without
airbag deployment) when the car struck an object. Repairs were
promptly completed by Sterling BMW in Laguna Beach, California.
The next owner of this automobile will enjoy a state-of-the-art,
�ber-luxury, autobahn-cruising executive sedan in stunning
condition. The added �lan and exclusivity of its tasteful Alpina
branding will speak with authority to every BMW lover. It's hard to
imagine this B7 will ever go out of style. Be sure to check out all
