Set to go on sale before the end of the month, the range will start at $127,600, with the xDrive priced at $130,600, while the rear-drive long wheelbase B7 will cost $131,500 to start, and xDrive again adding $3,000 to the price tag.
The top speed sees a big bump to 194mph (193 in xDrive models) from the regular 7-Series' 175mph. The 0-62mph times are now 4.3 and 4.4 seconds, likely in favor of the xDrive models.
The car gets new ceramic secondary controls and an engine start-stop system. Options include LED headlights and a Bang & Olufsen Surround Sound System. The interior leather choices and exterior colors are also the same as the new 7-series, with a unique Alpina blue metallic paint on offer once again. The car rides on unique 21-inch Alpina Classic alloys with 20 spokes.
The body sports unique exterior trim pieces which are installed by hand at Alpina's facility in Buchloe, Germany. The car needs to be special ordered, and it takes about two weeks longer to arrive than a regular, specially-ordered 7-series.
