Which 2020 ALPINA B7 trim does Edmunds recommend?

The Alpina B7 only comes in one trim, and the options list is mercifully short. Still, we'd check the boxes for the Luxury Rear Seating and Interior Design packages — both are relatively inexpensive and add features and decorative wood trim to spruce up the cabin even further. The sunroof's optional ambient lighting is a cool party piece, as is the exceptional Bowers & Wilkins audio system.
