Into this assemblage gracefully slides BM W’s newest body style, the Gran Coupe (note the lack of the “D” and the absence of an accent mark).
The recipe is simple in the telling— start with a 7 series BMW and then change most of it (well over 80%, by some calculations). Alpina may seem to some to be a “tuner” but actually they’re a car manufacturer. In the case of the B7, they receive from BMW a basic but uncompleted 7 series and then change the engine, transmission, brakes, interior and so much more to produce a firebreathing sedan.
