BMW Alpina B7 Bi-Turbo in Abu Dhabi first

The Abu Dhabi dealer for BMW is the first importer in the world to officially take delivery of the new 2010 Alpina B7 Bi-Turbo, which is based on the latest BMW 7-Series. The Alpina-tuned model comes with a unique ‘001’ number, marked on its headliner plate.

The Bi-Turbo is powered by a 507 hp 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8, with maximum torque of 700 Nm available from 3000 rpm. This allows the Alpina B7 to do the 0-100 kph sprint in 4.7 seconds, and pressing on to an electronically-limited 280 kph top speed. Even the automatic transmission, computer-controlled air suspension and stability control system have been modified to handle the power.

Common Alpina features include the traditional 20-spoke 21-inch Alpina Classic wheels and other Alpina Individuality options including an ALPINA Green exterior colour, special wood trim, as well as a two-tone green and silver interior in Lavalina leather. The Alpina B7 is also available with the full range of BMW 7-Series technologies such as Head-up Display, Lane Departure Warning, i-Drive control system, and 4-wheel steering.

The Alpina range is sold with a full factory warranty through BMW dealers in the UAE.
