BMW Alpina B5 and B7


For drivers civil BMW Alpina claims German luxury and comfort with all the benefits of the BMW M-car service. The recent efforts of the BMW Alpina B5 and BMW Alpina B7, both with the same 4.4-liter V-8, is under the bonnet of the BMW 545th and 745th, but with a compressor type radial load. The result: the production is an M5-Matching 500 hp and even more impressively, the torque increases from 516 lb-ft, compared to the M5 by sad 384 lb-ft. Although B5 automatic extra weight, the M5 driver would move to push every REV-limiter to keep. E B7 would be easy to leave the BMW 7 series in a cloud of tire smoke. Now, Bimmer fans are so far the couple exclusively for Mercedes-Benz AMG models.
