I never noticed till that pic that it actually says "ALPINA" on the front lip.

the black one in the back right may be sold soon I hear heheh.

my office by the way is up the stairs behind the blue one... they hide us computer geeks upstairs with all the equipment.

I am not a fan of the 7. I am a fan of the Alpina B7. They look FANTASTIC in person and have gotten very very good reviews.

I dunno... there is a black 7 here with black interior with piano black wood trim that is absolute sex...

too bad i wasnt fast enough to catch a pix of the interior of the blue one... it had a very glossy pretty wood trim... The black alpina in the back has a white interior! Nice.. but i'd be scared to drive that car.

I see a black one occasionally in the mornings on my commute to work.

I dunno.....the wheels look like stilts. There pretty dang tall....and skinny.
looks kinda weird IMHO.

I wish they had better offsets for the wheels.

The Alpina is a very nice car. I also pass one on my way to work from time to time...or should I say he passes me.

I respect the car for what it is worth and the detail that Alpina brings to the table, but I yawn at the 7 now and truthfully prefer the 745 body to that of the 750/B7.

The Alpina is a brilliant way to sell an "M7" without having to risk the integrity of the M heritage and name. I've never been a fan of Alpina or DTM style wheels, but the rest of the car has it going on!
