I got to drive last years model and it was wicked fast!! It really belongs on a race track. Very fun to drive but you have to watch your speed.

I love Alpinas. But I hate their choice in wheels but even with ugly wheels it looks sinfully good.

I really don't care for the exterior modifications but the inside does look very nice. The engine sounds amazing, too!

Makes me worry with the base 7 having 400 HP.

Another wonderful thing about this vehicle is that it can be ordered through any BMW Center & it is backed by the 4/50k warranty which includes free scheduled maintainence. So, thrash it, slam on those big brakes and enjoy with no out of pocket!

Yeah, it will be the same as with M3 and 335i. Regular 7-series will have twin turbo charged engine with 400HP which with a very mild tune will easily get to 500HP with more torque than B7...

IMO, it looks better than the 7 Series from AC Scnitzer.

I like the new 7, except for the rear taillight-too saggy and bulgy

Not a fan of those wheels but I like the car. I haven't seen Alpina's in years.
