Alpina

Alpina: The Connoisseur’s Choice For over 50 years, Alpina has occupied a unique space in the automotive landscape. Often mistaken for a tuner, Alpina was officially recognized as an automobile manufacturer by the German Ministry of Transport. Based in Buchloe, Alpina takes BMW chassis and engines and transforms them into vehicles that offer a distinct blend of effortless performance, exclusivity, and understated luxury. While BMW M cars are bred for the racetrack, Alpina vehicles are bred for the Autobahn and the grand tour. An Alpina is defined by its torque-rich delivery and supreme ride comfort. The engines are heavily reworked with custom turbochargers and cooling systems to provide massive power that is accessible at low RPMs. Aesthetically, they are identified by the iconic multi-spoke wheels, the unique front splitter with “ALPINA” lettering, and the bespoke Lavalina leather interiors that are hand-finished to the customer’s exact specifications. The Alpina Philosophy Understated Elegance: Performance without the aggressive posturing; a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Ride Quality: Suspension tuned specifically for comfort at high speeds, distinguishing it from stiffer sports cars. Exclusivity: Limited production numbers ensure strong residual values and a sense of occasion. With its recent integration into the BMW Group, the legacy of Buchloe continues. Driving an Alpina is not just about speed; it is about arriving in style and comfort. Enter the World of Alpina
