BMW's M division is known for turning the brand's already competent vehicles into exceedingly fast thrill machines. But there are gaps in M's coverage. That's where long-standing BMW performance house Alpina comes in. In the absence of an M-tuned BMW 7-Series Alpina has stepped up to the plate to give it a complete performance makeover. In this video Alpina's top man, Andy Bovensiepen, shares the finer details of the 2011 BMW Alpina B7 with KBB's Micah Muzio.

[@matthewsilva8617]

Can’t believe I can find this car for $15k right now with just about 100k miles..for a big dude like me this is the perfect mix of luxury and performance

[@HadaCakraningrat]

@anurek123 yes i will correct you. it is actually 573HP with AMG sport package and it has twin turbo 5.5L V8. Cheers mate.

[@iStig34]

[@TheWaked98]

this WILL be my car

[@valerio53061]

TheWaked98 now do have it?

[@t2p]

lol love the autobahn comment....subtle.

[@ElDomijabao]

@ChocolatePoop1301 Even though I probably sound like a pesimist, I'm a realistic person and I know how life is. But don't worry I also know that sometimes a rich person driving an alpina B7 or any other super car is not always happy, while some of us are happy! money doesn't buy happiness even though I know it can buy something like this. It just bother me sometimes that someone who probably doesn't deserve it, is the one who drive it. But I understant your comment and I respect your opinion :-)

[@maxhamer]

@atami210 the v12 actually produces less power then the current motor in this car.

[@ElDomijabao]

@ChocolatePoop1301 I didn't ment that.... but is ok why would I bother arguing??? I know rich people can be happy because they can have everything they want, but I ment that being rich doesn't have a direct correlation with happiness, and one problem for instance could be that you could get tired of having everything you want without having to actually work or make an effort to get it. I could be right, I could be wrong... who knows? all I can do is hope the best for everyone!

[@jonny5777]

think id have the alpina 3 series but bmw 7 series dont think the car suits the modifications they make, great brand though

[@atulcbr01]

I want one!

[@ChocolatePoop1301]

@Es1frankesteinKswap You don't think that you are, but you are. Anyone who so confidently and repetitively asserts the rich people are happier in all the various ways you have stated is materialistic. If you weren't, those thoughts wouldn't even cross your mind. I'm slightly materialistic, but I know that true happiness comes from love and belongingness. Being rich is merely icing on the cake.

[@ElDomijabao]

@ChocolatePoop1301 I'm not materialistic at all.. just for the record I think even if I had the money to buy that car I wouldn't be able to drive such an expensive car around, knowing that there is people in this world dying of hunger every day.... I always try to be as humble as possible, of course, I know I work hard and if I want something why not have it if I can, but always humble.... and honestly I'm actually not familiar with Maslow's hierarchy, I'll do some reaserch about it though!

[@dust45a]

i wish i had a car like that.i got my lexus LS stolen. now im car less... my god the B7 is fine.

[@Mr2crazybyong]

Im so proud to be a German!

[@ChocolatePoop1301]

@Es1frankesteinKswap You are thinking in a materialistic manner. Once you have enough to live comfortably the extra money won't make you happier. Sure, it is nice to have better things, but measurable happiness comes from things that cost little to no money. Are you familiar with Maslow's hierarchy?

[@ElDomijabao]

@Gregorian112 Sorry my bad, is my fault that I was born poor and my mommy and daddy can't afford to buy me one of these.... I don't flip burgers by the way and that's what I'm trying to do, get more money : ) but I'm doing it the right way which is by my own hard work since I was not born rich or I decided not to sell drugs or any of that :-p and if you were born rich I'm happy for you and I hope you really enjoy driving your alpina b7 : )

[@ChocolatePoop1301]

@Es1frankesteinKswap the fact that you imply the only way to drive an Alpina is to be born rich AND have your parents by it for you is pretty sad

[@fyadcorp]

No, he just can't stand sub-par interviewers.

[@BeatBurzt]

SICKKKKKK

[@Wired1011]

@jpracingph Uh, and he responded with the fact that the Product Manager might know more.. so chill out Lmao.

[@lukeisajuke]

Sorry officer I used to driving on ze autobon can I do anything or can my vife do anything? (Super Troopers) Lmao

[@ElDomijabao]

@ChocolatePoop1301 That is very affordable.... I'm surprise! maybe one day I could own a Nice BMW and be able to have that great driving experience.... if not I'll be happy with something that just moves me around where I want to go ; ) and remember is just not the price you pay for the car... also insurance, taxes, etc... lolololol but whatever, if you work hard to have something you like, why not going for it??

[@ChocolatePoop1301]

@Es1frankesteinKswap You definitely are a pessimist if knowing that rich people can be unhappy brings you satisfaction (you imply that wealth determines happiness and also that you are not wealthy and therefore not happy). Deserve it? Who are you to determine what one deserves, especially material possessions. Money earns these kind of toys, not merit. That money doesn't come without cost for most people. Hard work and/or a high level of education are necessary or else everyone would be rich.

[@ironchopsticks]

i like the german andy guy, and his glasses are real interesting. he would look great with a swastika patch on his suit jacket.

[@adogg619]

Andy's body language was saying, I am so annoyed by this guy.

[@fadyberlon]

this guy talks too much lol .. special car tho !

[@makedatbootyshake718]

these comments are not appreciating beautiful engineering

[@g1981c]

i saw this car a few times on the street and it looks stunning

[@ChocolatePoop1301]

@Es1frankesteinKswap I'm seeing 2007 Alpina B7's in the 40's. That's pretty affordable.

[@anthonymansell6716]

I love my bm x5 but the auto gearbox detonated after only 65000 miles...and i found out i am not alone

[@alastiar72]

whos he? whats his name? KBB should feature more him !

[@3kpw8911]

@priya1985 yes i have a blue one in live in la

[@Ioanides001]

@micahmuzio it means you were flattering him like your life was depending on it. It was a sad view. You weren't there to exercise admiration for the guy but to get some facts from him. You are free to disagree but you would be wrong :)

[@ChocolatePoop1301]

@Es1frankesteinKswap Maybe you should focus less on material possessions. There is a low correlation between income and happiness. Who cares about an Alpina that much anyway? If you are going to spend that kind of money get a Ferrari or Lamborghini instead. Most people don't even know what an Alpina is.

[@TheGodfatherSahil12]

An S65 will own this.
