2014 BMW 7 Series ALPINA B7 LWB xDrive

If you’ve ever fantasized about piloting a small, tasteful spaceship that politely obeys traffic laws until you tell it you mean business, this 2014 BMW ALPINA B7 LWB xDrive is your ceremonial invitation to the fast lane — with champagne flutes in the backseat and a concierge on speed-dial (metaphorically speaking).

Powertrain and performance (a.k.a. why your rearview mirror will hate you)
Under the hood sits a beautifully brutal 4.4L Twin-Turbo V8, factory-tuned to produce a heart-thumping 540 horsepower and 538 lb-ft of torque. That’s plenty of shove to remind you that the speed limit is, technically, a polite suggestion. Paired with ALPINA’s calibrated 8-speed automatic transmission featuring Switch-Tronic manual mode, shifts are silk-smooth when you want refinement and satisfyingly immediate when you want the kind of urgency normally reserved for grabbing the last slice of pizza. xDrive all-wheel drive ensures traction in all seasons — so go ahead and accelerate with confidence, even when the weather isn’t cooperating.

Exterior — white and wonderful
This particular example comes in a clean, classic White exterior that highlights ALPINA’s subtle yet unmistakable design cues: multi-spoke ALPINA wheels (the iconic “classic” design), aerodynamic front and rear treatments, tasteful ALPINA pinstriping and badging, and quad polished exhaust tips that announce your arrival with just the right amount of authority. The LWB (long wheelbase) silhouette gives it an elongated, executive presence — more room in the rear, more presence on the road, fewer excuses when someone complains about legroom.

Interior — black as midnight, luxurious as a velvet rope
The interior is a rich Black that pairs perfectly with the car’s white coat. This is luxury executed with intent: soft, sumptuous leather seating (ALPINA’s fine leather treatment), distinctive ALPINA instrumentation and trim, and the driver-focused controls BMW is famous for. Rear-seat passengers enjoy the long-wheelbase benefits: extra knee room, a spacious atmosphere, and the feeling that this car was made for royalty — or at least very comfortable CEOs.

Factory-default luxury and tech features (the good stuff you actually care about)
