EDITORS' RATINGS OVERALL SCORE:
Overall
| The BMW Alpina B7 should satisfy those looking for a more-exclusive version of the 7-series. |
DETAILED EDITORS' RATINGS
Dynamics
| Very good dynamics for a car this large, but still comfy and very, very fast. |
Comfort
| Most sedans in this class offer a plethora of comfort features and the Alpina is no exception. However, it has only a few unique features beyond what its competition offers. |
Function
| With the exception of iDrive and four stalks (signals, cruise, wipers, gear selector) behind the steering wheel, the Alpina offers intuitive interfaces for its many features. |
Design/Build Quality
| We struggle with BMW's centerpiece of interior design (iDrive). Otherwise, the Alpina offers incredible materials and craftsmanship. |
Luxurious
| First and foremost the B7 is a brilliant luxury car with every creature comfort one could want. |
Image Enhancer
| Many will buy this car for the Alpina name and associated bling. We don't blame them. |
High Performer
| The B7 is very fast, very smooth and very beautiful. |
