BMW Acquires Complete Control of Alpina: An Overview of the New Stand-Alone Luxury Brand and Upcoming Models
  • Alpina is now a completely independent luxury brand under BMW's own banner.

  • Future Alpina-badged automobiles are anticipated to look like this, along with anticipated dates and costs.

The first new-generation Alpina models are anticipated to be released in late 2026 or early 2027, according to sources, specific product announcements are still pending.

An overview of what lies ahead is provided here:

ModelAnticipated ReleaseNotes
BMW Alpina B7 (G72)Late 2026Based on the redesigned 7 Series; powerful V8 is anticipated.
BMW Alpina X7 (G69)2027High-end SUVs probably come after the 7 Series debut.
Electric Alpina Variant (i7)2027–2028Rumored EV variant under the i7 moniker.

Future Prospects for Alpina Automobiles

Future Alpina cars under BMW's direction are probably going to deviate from regular BMW models more than they have in the past. Alpina's upcoming vehicles are anticipated to include sophisticated stylistic cues, custom interiors, and premium materials that highlight luxury and performance in addition to potent drivetrains, such as the new B7's V8 delivering over 600 horsepower.

According to early indications, Alpina will prioritise premium flagship sectors like SUVs and full-size saloons over lower-tier cars like the 3 Series or 5 Series variants. In terms of exclusivity and sophistication, this approach supports BMW's objective of placing the brand above its own best vehicles but below Rolls-Royce.

How This Affects Buyers

The development of Alpina under complete BMW supervision promises automobiles with distinctive character, custom touches, and performance that is both potent and refined for enthusiasts and luxury car consumers.

For those looking for something different from conventional high-end BMWs or ultra-luxury brands, the new BMW Alpina vehicles are anticipated to deliver a compelling blend of workmanship and power, despite their expensive pricing.
