Exclamation Most EPIC... BMW Currently For Sale... PERIOD!

This is such an EPIC Luxury-Sport-Sedan.
Worth every nickel of the asking price! ($149k)
























- 2011 BMW B7 ALPINA Long. This second generation B7 Alpina is finished in a stunning combination of Black Sapphire Metallic exterior along with Extended Premium Black Nappa Leather interior. This BMW is in showroom condition in and out - glossy finish is just beautiful. The interior is in immaculate condition as well - it is smoke free and factory clean.
This Alpina's black finish has absolutely no scratches and is flawless and mirror like. Have never been in ANY kind of accident. This vehicle comes with original manuals, books and keys. Needless to say this fine car has a crystal clear Carfax report, indicating it is free from any accidents or issues and qualifies for Carfax buyback guarantee.

This B7 Long Wheel Base sedan is equipped with BMW's twin-turbocharged 4.4 liter, all-aluminum, High Precision Direct Injection V-8 engine which has been enhanced by ALPINA and is capable of producing 500 (373kW) horsepower and 516 lb-ft (700Nm) of torque. This rear-wheel drive performance/luxury Sedan achieves 0-60 mph in 4.5 sec. With maximum torque available across an unusually broad engine range, from 3,000 to 4,750 rpm, the B7 accelerates effortlessly from virtually any speed.

It is equipped with EVERY POSSIBLE OPTION (!) available. There is no option that this B7 doesn't have: NightVision with Pedestrian Detection, Head-Up Display, Side and Top View Cameras, Soft-Closing Doors, Driver Assistance Package (Automatic High Beams, Lane Departure Warning, Active Blind Spot Detection), Luxury Rear Seating Package (Massaging Rear Seat, Reat Ventilated Seats, Rear Comfort Seats), Rear Entertainment Package, Heated Steering Wheel, Rear-view Camera, Comfort Access Keyless Entry, Ash Grain Wood Trim, Extended Nappa Leather, Ceramic Controls, Power Rear Sunshade, Power Rear and Side Shades, Front Ventilated Seats, Heated Front Seats, Heated Rear Seats, Active Cruise Control, Park Distance Control, iPod and USB Adapter, Smartphone Integration, Navigation System, Premium Hi-Fi System, 6-Disc DVD Changer and just way too many more to count.

The BMW ALPINA B7 builds on the state-of-the-art adaptive suspension technologies of the 7 Series, including tuned Dynamic Damping Control and Active Roll Stabilization, to the demanding requirements of a high performance sedan. Dynamic Damping Control and Active Roll Stabilization enable the driver to select from three distinct suspension set-ups: Comfort, Normal and Sport. The light-weight 21" wheels, with their new interpretation of the ALPINA CLASSIC wheel design, are shod with a specially selected staggered MICHELIN PS2 tire set-up: 245/35 R21 front and 285/30 R21 rear.

The interior of the B7 sedan features ALPINA blue illuminated door sill trims, the SWITCH-TRONIC steering wheel in hand-stitched LAVALINA leather, and the Black- Panel LCD screen instrument cluster branded with ALPINA. Exclusive interior luxury wood trim in the form of Myrtle Burl, a knotted burl of the Laurel only found on the Pacific Coast of the United States, provides a warm and traditional ambience. Discreet metal ALPINA emblems adorn the upper seatbacks of the standard leather Comfort seats and are inlayed in the wood trim. An additional ALPINA plaque indentifying the car is mounted on the inner roof panel just ahead of the sunroof. Even the engine bay carries a subtle signature by tidily presenting itself with a newly-designed ALPINA engine cover.

I personally think the interior is nice but the exterior on the new 7 series doesn't tickle my fancy.

These things are a dime a dozen in S. Fl. Seeing them in person is another thing. I never really like the new 7 Series at all. But the Alpina's are amazing.

I love the essence of the B7, it is wonderful and everytime they get their hands on a BMW and this no exception.

TSXSTYLE, those wheels are killer and would be PERFECT. My only issue is that I am not in love with this new 7 exterior and actually prefer your body style 100 times more.

I hear ya. I am not completely sold on the new 7 body as a whole either. The interior is just BANANAS! And obviously knowing the exclusivity and subtle body work and brutal power the B7 offers, makes me want now!

For 150K, I don't want a car that looks like every other 7 series out there, I will take a Maserati Quattroporte if it was my money.

Certainly has lots of goodies. The 7 body style is growing on me...have to see more. It reminds me of the subtle changes the first gen LS 400's had and the second gen LS. It is different but isn't at the same time.

Looks at the definition of the word Epic. This car is not it. (nor that other thread)

It is very nice but its simply a stock Alpina B7. Mind you I love the car and the latest 7's looks realy havve grown on me

TXSTYLE:

I admire your style as it is EXACTLY like mine!

Completely agree with you on this car and your choice of wheels.

Them shoes is SWEET!

How much do you think this car will go for in 3 years (pre-owned market)?
