Nice straight-line performance, but this car is seriously large. The 7 has grown in size, like all other BMWs, and I just can't imagine the size of this car making it a fun "sporty" ride - power aside.
Alpina is a 3rd party that customizes BMWs and resells them as their own bespoke models - but the relationship is such that BMW advertises and sells their after-market creations. They produce models based on the 3, 5, 6, 7, and x3 I believe. So, you can think of the Alpina B7 as an "M7" since BMW claims they'll never make one.
