ALPINA LUXURY BMWs With Maximum Horsepower | Full Documentary

Since 1965, the Alpina company has made it its business to make selected BMW models more unique. New components are sometimes developed for the conversions, some of which are manufactured in-house at the main plant in Buchloe, not far from Munich. Each Alpina vehicle must pass numerous quality and performance tests before it is released for series production. The report accompanies the production of a BMW Alpina B7 and a BMW SUV Alpina XB7.

Super documentary! As a proud owner of an Alpina D3 nr.460 for close to a month now i can attest these cars are an absolute joy to ride! Puts a smile on your face every time!

Mine is number 527 Alpina D3 saloon, Titanium silver metallic Red leather sports seats Totally stock.

@@ALPINA527 Very nice! Altough i like the look of the saloon better. I'm more for the practicality of my large trunk estate.

This full documentary about how Alpina started her career, is a dream to see and hear. I'm so overjoyed that they did it. And a big thank you to everyone who made it possible.

Currently eyeing a 2022 B7 .... watching this documentary makes me want it even more. Gotta appreciate the attention to detail and extra craftmanship.

[@edwardmccloskey7973]

Too bad the engine design is junk. BMW hasn't figured out how to fix a simple oiling issue inside the engine. Seriously would you want to spend $ 160,000 for a vehicle that starts developing engine issues around 30,000 miles? Buy a Japanese luxury vehicle and get your money's worth. Anything German built is a disaster.

[@rudymeow]

When people eyeing for a BMW they aren't as concerned about the maintenance cost as most, they usually aware eventually they would spend another $60,000 for the $160,000 car. It is truth that Japanese vehicle are way more economical, but they are never as fun to drive tho.

I thoroughly enjoyed watching this documentary. What a nice way to go back to Alpina's history.

[@stilley78]

I grew up in a BMW family. I always thought that BMW's sportiest models such as the M cars were at the pinnacle. I was of the opinion "why would you want to deface and modify an already beautiful BMW?" I think that this documentary has well and truly changed my opinion on this now. What an awesome car!

[@MishaColeman]

great job on this....i just wish the 70s racing section was its own stand alone doc. I could watch a doc on the 70s Alpina teams all day.

Alpina and Brabus....just a two legendary tuners

[@denzidk5628]

Alpina is not a tuner

[@rolandsuch]

@@denzidk5628 Define a tuner, several German vehicle enhancers are also registered vehicle manufacturers. For example, Alpina, Brabus, Oettinger, Abt…. etc. AMG was also an enhancer and registered vehicle manufacturer before they were purchased by Daimler and became part if Mercedes Benz. So when does a tuner stop being a tuner and become something else?

[@denzidk5628]

Yes, I agree: all other countries need to stop being such speed-fascists and give their people the freedom which we can see from Germany's example works so well and in fact isn't dangerous despite what authoritarian leaders lie to us about it. (Oh, and Isle of Man as well, though there they don't have motorways, there roads outside villages have no speed limit.)

[@porscheguy09]

Automakers should make a program that can be used during the Real Driving Emissions and other tests that allows engineers to drive around on a game like Forza, Gran Turismo or any driving game for consoles or PC and transfers that driving data to the vehicle being tested where it replicates those commands in real time. If they just had an open world game design with random traffic patterns and they could just drive around, even Grand Theft Auto would work, it would probably give them the most reliable testing and data they could hope for. Plus it would make these guy’s jobs a lot more fun.

[@blkcortex6545]

[@icupid69]

Alpina is indeed an amaing car. As long as somebody else owns it.

damn, i wasn't ready to see 1 guy pull the XB7 with only 1 hand that easy

[@edmonddantes1109]

[@1malikalik]

@13:05 It's impressive how his wheeling a BMW X7 with one hand like you would steer a suitcase at the airport....thats crazy. Didn't even know such a jack existed. With that type of jack aka electric forklift you don't need a tow truck in the event your vehicle breaks down. It be so comical dragging your broken down car on the shoulder lane in a busy highway.

What new air ducts for the brakes, it goes directly though the front cooler for the transmission or auto, still a water with coolant in it, thus the airflow would be around the 50 degree mark, but then again in Germany the heat in summer is not that hot, like to see the versions they make for the UAE ,which is over 50 degree c most days basically driving you 7 serries BMW in the desert everyday?

[@adamjacobadamson]

That's no normal BMW. This 7-Series model flies the Alpina flag. This vehicle manufacturer from southern Germany is one of the most exclusive automotive brands in the world, much of the tremendous power boost is already achieved at the BMW plants and the final assembly ultimately occurs at the factory in the Allgäu. A power symbiosis where the two horsepower blacksmiths both benefit. BMW and Alpina, it's a relationship that's already 55 years old. Established in the 1960s, the family business still builds luxury cars in small series to this day. Bavarian luxury cars with the driving dynamics of super sports cars, distinctive aerodynamics packages, high performance engines, powerful brake systems, 100 modified parts make series production models into exclusive racing machines. Many of Alpina's innovative developments were born on the racetrack and first road tested by motorsport legends.
