BMW ALPINA XB7 MANUFAKTUR is Very Fast and Very Expensive

BMW claims the Alpina will elevate your driving experience, and the BMW ALPINA XB7 MANUFAKTUR is just the ticket. ALPINA Automobiles Australia has just announced the local specifications and pricing for this luxury Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV), and it’s packed with features that’ll make your heart race and your wallet implode. Priced from $327,500 plus on-road costs, this exclusive model takes the already impressive XB7 and gives it a kick in the cobblers.

Outside

Let’s start with the monumental exterior. The XB7 MANUFAKTUR flaunts 23” ALPINA CLASSIC forged wheels, standard on every model. These fabulously huge rims are finished in Aluminium Satin and go through an elaborate process to achieve their deep-gloss, mirror-like surface. But wait, there’s more! A redesigned rear diffuser adds an extra dash of swagger to this already commanding SAV, emphasizing its powerful stance. And for those who like their cars to make a statement, the ALPINA-specific paint finishes—ALPINA Blue metallic and ALPINA Green II metallic—are available at no extra cost, ensuring your ride looks as exclusive as it feels.

One more word before we head to our next topic; will any, ever, anywhere, use the term SAV? No, it is naff naff naff.

Interior

Slide inside the XB7 MANUFAKTUR, and you’re greeted by an deliciously complex interior that screams luxury and bespoke craftsmanship. Choose between the “Black Line” or “Aluminium Satin Line” exterior options, each with special ALPINA elements like SWITCH-TRONIC shift paddles, unique stitching on the steering wheel, and a MANUFAKTUR badge. The black leather seat panels and steering column extend the high-end BMW Merino leather upholstery, adding an extra layer of refinement.

And let’s not forget the tasteful details that set the XB7 MANUFAKTUR apart: exclusive XB7 embossing in the headrests, MANUFAKTUR emblems in the floor mats, and an ALPINA production plaque. This isn’t just a vehicle; it’s a rolling masterpiece of extravert personality.

Drivetrain and Chassis

The XB7 MANUFAKTUR has a thumping 4.4-litre V8 engine with Bi-Turbo charging. This beast delivers a monumental 457 kW / 800 Nm that makes the oomph match the looks. The sophisticated suspension system, complete with two-axle air suspension and ALPINA-specific dampers, ensures comfortable control, whether you’re threading the big Alpina through city streets or cruising the open road.

The ride height can change by up to 40 mm depending on your driving situation or chosen suspension mode. Need more clearance? No problem—just raise it up. In Sport Mode or when cruising at high speeds, the ride height lowers for a more grounded feel, although 40mm won’t make a huge difference in carelessly catered corners. The XB7 MANUFAKTUR also features Integral Active Steering, which enhances agility at low speeds and stability when you’re flying down the highway. With three steering modes—COMFORT, SPORT, and SPORT+—you can tailor the driving experience to match your mood.
