BMW 760i - with its 12 cylinders - is unquestionably one of the finest rooms and comfortable in the luxury segment
There are, however, a small group of enthusiasts, people who like to drive themselves, aspiring to the sport forever in a small car, but do not want to lose the car of this class. For maximum speed and handling, ALPINA has made a point of basing the B7 the BMW 7 Series with V8 engine. The V8 offers the best anchor in terms of dynamism, with an ideal 50/50 weight distribution, it also weighs about 150 kg lighter than the comparable model V12bm
B7 designation led to a long tradition and has been responsible for engines charged at ALPINA since the late 1970s. The heart of B7 is a 4.4-liter V8 engine that is loaded through a radial (Nautilus type) compressor. The combination of Valvetronic and charging is a first. Through the use of Valvetronic full functionality, load controlled by varying the depth of the valve opening and boost pressure. This frees the engine breathing and provides better fuel economy at part load. The radial compressor is driven by a dedicated Poly-V belt, serpentine belt to run separate from other aggregates. At low speeds, a clutch torque of the compressor's drive belt. The charge of compressed air when the engine via an air-air exchanger. Emitec metal catalytic converters are mounted very close to the engine. In combination with the induction of secondary air, the Euro 4 emissions standard, made
This allows the engine to recharge ALPINA generate impressive performance figures: 368 kW (500 hp) at 5,500 rpm with maximum torque of 700 Nm at 4,250 rpm. The result is excellent performance, along with a unique comfort of a sedan. The feeling of acceleration of the jet engine reaches a height of nearly 300 mph, 100 kph flashing by in 4.9 seconds
The silhouette of the B7 is markedly more dynamic and elegant through the 21 Alpina wheels, "and the wedge shape mounted at the rear of the car, finishing harmoniously in a rear deck spoiler. With the help of the skirt ALPINA front spoiler, and newly re-formed, B7 reached a drag coefficient of just 0.31 BMW wind tunnel and help ensure stability at high speed
This point of view through the sporty elegance of the interior. Directly to the driver's field of view are large circular instruments finished the traditional ALPINA blue red pointers. The warm atmosphere is reported ALPINA luxury high quality of the wood "myrtle" in one of the best leather. B7 can be guided with precision using the new three-spoke sport steering wheel ALPINA (385 mm) was completed in an attractive-to-the-touch skin Lavalina. SWITCH-TRONIC shift buttons are ergonomically integrated in the rear of the steering wheel
A ZF six-speed automatic agile nature increases the look and B7. The unit, which provides the ability to glide along comfortably and effortlessly. In SWITCH-TRONIC, sporty driving is within reach, especially when moving manually using the buttons on the steering wheel, like in Formula 1
The exact address of the B7 low, and neutral behavior can make you forget the size of this car. A dynamic large living room, which offers a supreme driving pleasure on winding roads, due to its light-footed, and the greater power of the highway. The combination of wheel and tire offers excellent handling, Michelin Pilot tires (245/35 ZR21 285/30 ZR21 front and rear). And in combination with the brakes on large (374 mm front and 370 mm rear), phenomenal braking ability
Like all BMW ALPINA is not an exclusive production of sequentially numbered plaque
