The BMW Alpina B8 Gran Coupe represents the pinnacle of discreet, highperformance luxury in BMW’s modern lineup. Hand-finished by Alpina in Buchloe, Germany, the B8 elevates the already impressive BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe into a rarefied class of its own, blending immense power, bespoke craftsmanship, and exceptional everyday usability. Under the bonnet lies Alpina’s extensively reworked 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V-8, delivering a formidable 612 hp and seamless acceleration across the rev range. Paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and intelligent all-wheel drive, the B8 offers remarkable composure and stability, whether cruising at speed or carving through sweeping roads. Alpina’s suspension tuning strikes a masterful balance between comfort and control, making the B8 equally suited to grand touring or spirited driving.

The example offered here is effectively a new car, showing just 240 miles at the time of cataloguing. Its original window sticker reveals a highly desirable specification in Alpina Green Metallic with Tartufo/Black full Merino interior ($2,000). Options include the M-Carbon roof ($2,800), Bowers & Wilkins Diamond Surround Sound System ($3,400), and Driving Assistance Professional package ($1,800) – underscoring the B8’s status as a bespoke alternative to mainstream high-performance saloons. With its combination of rarity, refinement, and effortless performance, this Alpina B8 Gran Coupe stands as one of the most compelling modern luxury performance cars available today.
