The Windy City hosts the largest auto show in North America
2011 BMW Alpina B7
What it is: A BMW 7 Series
sedan turned up to 500 horsepower and tweaked for performance by the
German tuner Alpina.
Cool features: To the
supremely capable 7 Series, Alpina adds a 500-horsepower version of the
twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter BMW V8, 21-inch wheels, front and rear
spoilers, an adjustable suspension with active roll stabilization, and
shorter springs that lower the ride height. Inside, the Alpina B7 gets
a Lavalina leather steering wheel, Myrtle Burl wood trim, and Alpina
emblems.
Bottom Line: If you you’d like
an M version of the 7 Series and have more than $100,000 burning a hole
in your pocket, give the Alpina B7 a look.
