It seems like for about 10 plus years now owners and enthusiasts of the BMW 7-Series have been asking for an M variant. As of now, no dice folks. The closest we ever got was the E38 740i Sport and the current-generation that features an M Sport package.
While I am sure some will point to the Alpina B7, it technically speaking isn't a BMW product. It's an Alpina. And given the company's tendency to botch the job with a peculiar motor or transmission, it never has won me over. Just me, folks.
But that doesn't mean Alpina will close up shop for one curmudgeon's perspective. These latest spy shots make it clear that an all-new Alpina B7 is on the way.
Rumored to feature a 4.4-liter V8 good for upwards of 600 horsepower, this large, luxury sedan is expected to put down some serious numbers. Seen here for the first time, the tell-tale signs are linked to the front splitter, larger intakes, lowered stance and what appears to be a large lip spoiler that's not nearly as tasteless as the current-gen B7. Expect a bright blue hue, large diameter radial wheels and some 1980s inspired pinstriping on the next-gen B7.
