Alpina has given the B8 Gran Coupe an update for 2022, adding new colour options and BMW's new illuminated grille…
Under the bonnet is the same 4.4-litre N63 twin-turbocharged V8 as the M850i, but tweaks to the turbocharging and cooling systems yield an additional 90bhp and 37lb ft. As such, its 613bhp and 590lb ft of torque are only 9bhp down on the M8 and matching its peak torque figure, and make for a brisk 3.4sec 0-62mph time – an improvement of three tenths over standard. The standard speed limiter has also been removed, bumping top speed from 155mph to 201mph.
As with all Alpina models, the B8’s setup is focussed on comfort and on-road performance, fettling the M850i’s suspension setup accordingly. This includes detailed engineering changes such as new hydro mounts for the front struts which improve ride comfort, with new Eibach springs and adaptive dampers part of the package.The B8’s design is typical of Alpina, with only subtle changes setting it apart from the ordinary 8-series Gran Coupe.
BMW’s Individual Merino leather, heated seats and a Harmon Kardon sound system are equipped as standard, but browse the configurator and you’ll find a number of ways to drive price skywards. The trademark Alpina Green metallic paintwork can be optioned alongside a unique blue shade for £3175, with an expanded range of BMW Individual colours now on the menu for 2022.
Order books are open now with prices starting from £134,950, a £40,000 premium over the M850i and over £10,000 more than the M8 Competition. First cars are expected to hit the road in May.
