2025 BMW ALPINA B8 Gran Coupe

Price Range: $151,500

Good

The 2025 Alpina B8 is a sleek four-door coupe that'll whisk you around town or across the continent with grace and pace. Few grand tourers do the job as well as the B8 does. If an M8 Gran Coupe is too in-your-face and a Bentley Flying Spur shouts "Russian oligarch" to you, the B8 will hit the spot.Read full review

Overview

Written by automotive expert Clint Simone

Updated: 1/22/2026

Alpina cars are rare and special in the BMW world. The 2025 Alpina B8 Gran Coupe takes the style and sportiness of the 8 Series and adds the special touches that we love on Alpina models. This includes unique interior and exterior design cues and the exclusivity that comes with the badge. You'll pay a big premium for a B8 compared with a regular 8 Series Gran Coupe, but in return you'll get to own a significantly more distinctive performance luxury sedan.

Edmunds Expert Rating

7.0

out of 10

We drove the 2025 BMW ALPINA B8 Gran Coupe on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.

Driving experience

8.7/10

How does the BMW ALPINA B8 Gran Coupe drive? The B8 scoots from 0 to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds, slightly quicker than the M850i Gran Coupe but a tick slower than the M8 Gran Coupe. Massive Brembo calipers clamp down on equally huge steel discs, stopping the B8 from 60 mph in 94 feet. For a 4,715-pound car geared more toward luxury than all-out performance, that is nothing short of exceptional.

You can really feel the B8's mass, and the steering doesn't offer nearly enough feedback for the Alpina to be considered a driver's car. Hustling this barge down a back road can be fun, but other high-dollar performance luxury cars do better. Instead, the Alpina is all about comfort. Its ride quality, despite the oversized 21-inch wheels, is excellent.

For a very low-slung four-door coupe, visibility isn't too bad, though the view rearward is definitely compromised.

We found the driver aids helpful without being intrusive. Then there was BMW's optional Driving Assistance Professional package, which, when certain road conditions are met, allows hands-free driving at speeds up to 40 mph. All it asks is that the driver pay attention to the road. While not as complete as GM's Super Cruise or Tesla's Autopilot, it made traffic jams a breeze.

Comfort

8.2/10

How comfortable is the BMW ALPINA B8 Gran Coupe? This BMW doesn't have a single M badge on it, and that means all sporting pretense is gone. The Alpina is all about continent-cruising comfort, and it excels. The seats are covered in soft Merino leather and are exceptionally comfortable, and they're adjustable in more than a dozen ways. The cabin is always whisper-quiet regardless of speed.

BMW's interiors have been cold and technical in recent years, but the B8 restores some much-wanted luxury. Yet the conversion to an Alpina doesn't upset the standard 8 Series' good ergonomics. The seating position itself is spot-on, and there's plenty of adjustment range for the seat and the steering column. You'll find ample legroom for up to five passengers, but headroom in the back is limited, so you might want to put your taller friends up front.

The Alpina's BMW iDrive system isn't the most intuitive to learn. However, once you've become acquainted with it, it works well and doesn't distract from driving duties. A dial controller and touchscreen provide much-appreciated redundant control. In contrast, Audi and Porsche have gone touchscreen-only.

In-cabin tech

7.6/10

How’s the tech? Even though this is an Alpina-badged car, it still gets BMW's iDrive infotainment. Take note: It's one of the most menu-dense infotainment systems on the market. It's not easy to master. However, owners should give themselves time to overcome the learning curve. BMW's menu structure is logical, there are multiple ways of using the system (touch, a dial, gestures and voice commands), and it eventually becomes second nature. If you're interested in any modern BMW, spend some time sitting in a showroom and checking out iDrive to make sure it's right for you.

Storage & cargo

6/10

How’s storage and cargo? Despite its sleek shape, this long coupe offers a usable trunk with 15.5 cubic feet of space. It splits the difference between competitors like the Porsche Panamera and Mercedes-AMG GT. The Alpina's 40/60-split rear seats do allow for the loading of longer items. Because the whole car is quite low, the load lip is too, and hands-free trunklid operation makes loading easier.

Interior storage in the B8 is about adequate, though you're likely to run out of room if you're carrying a lot of small items. There are four cupholders up front that only fit medium-size bottles, with a center console that's nice and deep for larger items. There is also a small cubby beneath the center stack, and it features a wireless smartphone charging mat.

Value

8/10

Is the BMW ALPINA B8 Gran Coupe a good value? Is the Alpina B8 worth the $150,000 asking price? That's entirely up to those who can afford it, but there are very few cars that so seamlessly meld understated luxury and barnstorming performance as well as the B8 does. As well built as a Mercedes S-Class, as quick as some supercars, and beautiful to behold, the B8 almost makes you think roughly $150,000 is a bit of a bargain.

BMW's three years/36,000 miles of free maintenance and four years of roadside assistance are on par with competitors' coverage in this segment. The basic and standard drivetrain warranties both extend to four years/50,000 miles.

MPG

3/10

How’s the fuel economy? The EPA says the Alpina B8 Gran Coupe will deliver 19 mpg combined (17 city/24 highway). Over the course of 10 days and nearly 1,000 miles in the B8, we averaged 16.6 mpg, a bit below the EPA's estimates.

X factor

10/10

This Alpina might be one or two cuts above anything else BMW will sell you right now, and the best part might be that no one knows it. There is a fly-under-the-radar quality about the B8, and only those who are in the know really know. It's special without shouting about it, and that understated excellence is definitely part of the B8's appeal.

Build & Price

2025 BMW ALPINA B8 Gran Coupe trim level differences

The 2025 BMW Alpina B8 Gran Coupe is a five-passenger sedan equipped with a twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 engine (612 hp, 590 lb-ft of torque), an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. Alpina bases it on the BMW M8 Competition Gran Coupe but tunes it with an emphasis on luxury over outright performance. Compare the 2025 BMW ALPINA B8 Gran Coupe trim levels in-depth.

Which ALPINA B8 Gran Coupe trim does Edmunds recommend?

The Alpina B8 Gran Coupe comes in only one trim level, with a long list of standard equipment. That said, we suggest going all out and adding the Driving Assistance Professional package and the Bowers & Wilkins sound system for the full experience.

Competitors to consider

At this level, competition is scarce. We'd consider the Audi S8 and Porsche Panamera, though they don't quite equal the Alpina B8 for interior refinement. For a bit more money, Mercedes offers the AMG S 63 E Performance with similar characteristics. Read our test team's Expert Rating below to learn more about the B8.

Edmunds spotlight: Posh performance

The Alpina B8 is one of those cars that strikes the perfect balance between comfort and performance. The B8 is calm and comfortable on your daily commute, but it can also be lively and fun to drive thanks to the muscular 612-horsepower V8 and stable handling. This is a car that allows you to go for it and have some fun on a curvy road but also keeps things calm and comfortable on your daily commute.
