The development of the traditional 20-spoke 21 "Alpina Classic wheels emphasize fresh design language can be found throughout the BMW B7 Alpina Bi-Turbo, and impart a distinctive appearance and a strong attitude.

Front seats - first class performance and economy

The model designation Bi-Turbo, which now adorns the flagship BMW Alpina tricks to show the performance even more powerful and in charge on its predecessor, while improving fuel economy.

All-aluminum V8 engine 4395 cm3 total return on the top 507 hp (373 kW), moderate to 5500rpm and maximum torque of 700 Nm between 3000-4750 rpm. Two in particular, Alpine turbo power plant construction, one above each of the V8 cylinder banks, are responsible for the forced induction. Turbochargers work in parallel, a generous size of the turbine blades measuring 44 mm in diameter.

The depth of operation of the engine's potential is realized by maximizing the indirect intercooler (air-water/water-air) with routes of entry of short extensions to optimize the flow intercooler. The three heat exchangers, heat exchanger built into the low temperature block heater, and the two engines almost intercoolers are expanded by 35%, which guarantees high thermodynamic efficiency.

High performance pistons are at work in the engine, carefully designed to withstand the forces created by thermodynamic 9.2:1 compression and a maximum increase of 1.0 bar turbo. The result is an impressive 115 hp specific (85kW) per liter, with an average maximum compression of 20.1 bar, a landmark is placed between the sports cars.

Other technical complexities of this high gasoline engine rated EU5 emissions technology are direct injection and double VANOS. Contributing greatly to the BMW B7 Alpina Bi-Turbo "Best in Class" fuel economy L/100 km 12.1 [23.4 Imp MPG] and a rating of 282g/km of CO2 emissions (the fuel blended by the UNECE).

BMW Alpina B7 Bi-Turbo to present evidence, either in the form of its features and specifications, high performance and low power consumption are not necessarily contradictory. Ending two double tailpipes polished stainless steel exhaust system Alpine offers up to bring a deep and sonorous sound but not intrusive V8 that one would expect from Alpine.

Powertrain COMFORT - SINGLE SUPERIOR

BMW Alpina B7 Bi-Turbo is the result of consistent execution of the same philosophy, in September Alpina BMW Alpina B7 still pretty strong Bi-Turbo shines so brilliantly for everyday use.

A look at the graph of torque and power is enough to show that BMW B7 Alpina Bi-Turbo is even faster with very low revs fierce effort. Maximum torque is available at an exceptionally broad range of travel, from 3000 to 4750 rpm. This broad power range with an exquisite six-speed ZF automatic sports oriented pampers its occupants with high levels of comfort in the car without problems in any driving situation.

Alpine SWITCH-TRONIC, which has been programmed to move exceptionally soft and comfortable to use Auto-shift offers a range of features to suit every taste and situation, through sports and extra-manual mode. Driving the BMW B7 Alpina Bi-Turbo is a completely different experience when using the buttons located behind the steering wheel to manually select the gears of an automatic transmission. In this way the changes come a few hundred milliseconds, and with minimal interruption of transmission of electricity compares favorably to even the best dual-clutch transmissions. As a result, the BMW Alpina B7 Turbo Bi-road speed from 0-100 km / h 4.7 seconds, pressing her with passion electronically limited top speed of 280 kmh. Although there is rarely need such a hurry, ventilated and generously proportioned (374 mm in diameter.

Front, 370 mm rear) with an effective braking system to slow down the best value pure-bred sports cars.

Suspension - harmony, time, attractive, rich

Long Gone are the days when a pure "hard and sporty" ride was a popular feature of the suspension set-ups. The search for truly neutral handling continues to be the smart way forward, giving the best of is technologically possible. To achieve this objective, to reduce marginally shorter front springs calibrated single and rear ride height by 15mm and 10mm respectively.

Along with the 21 "wheels and a combination of tires, the suspension is sensitive to the inputs and direct in its meaning, but without the harshness of pure suspension sportsoriented, give this large living room with an agility usually only associated . much smaller sports sedans lightweight 21 "wheels, with its new interpretation of classic design Alpina wheels are shod with specially selected to compensate for the application MICHELIN: 245/35 R21 285/30 R21 front and rear. Giving up the Run-Flat technology, conventional tires are used to provide flexibility, comfort, finesse that is rare today.

Alpina has integrated state of the art-technology electronics and clever suspension, subtly adapting the strict requirements of our customers. As part of standard equipment BMW Alpina B7 Bi-Turbo, you must enable the suspension system with Electronic Damping Control and Dynamic Drive Dynamic (active roll stabilization) driver to choose between three different suspension settings: Comfort, Normal and Sport. They are deliberately calibrated to give distinctly different set-ups that affect the characteristics of the damper, active roll stabilization and the parameters of the assist power steering, throttle response algorithms and amortization expense of reversal. BMW Alpina B7 Bi-Turbo offers unprecedented versatility driver that provides comfort over long distances as easily as the back road pace, always with maximum pleasure and safety.

Experienced riders are not prevented from pushing the BMW Alpina B7 Bi-Turbo unit at the limit: sport, more so automatically changes the traction control systems on the Dynamic Traction Control (DTC), an extension of the DSC. This helps drive change over the wheel and a delayed response by the traction control system.

Interior Design - Style of evolution, to the last detail

-. In the dynamic, stylish and powerful silhouette of BMW Alpina B7 Bi-Turbo is significantly influenced by the evolutionary design of the new Alpina wheels 21 "Classic is a three-dimensional type of turbine guide curves for each of the 20 radios center the wheel rim, the way they have a machined surface. Depending on the angle of the observer, the speed of rotation of the wheels and the light, the appearance of these classics of the wheel is constantly changing. Of course, they still have pneumatic valves refined, safe and attractive hiding behind the lock wheel covers.

In true "form-follows-function" mode, integrates the front Alpina typical fresh air requirements of the transmission oil coolers and engine, which is separated from the main cooler unit for better efficiency. The design of the front wing and rear aerodynamic is clear based on interest, which reduces the lift on the front and rear with 30% and 15% respectively. Left and right are two double exhaust pipes are fully integrated into the transom and the testimony BMW Alpina B7 Bi-Turbo has become stronger.
