"M" may have once been the most powerful letter in the alphabet, according to BMW, but that's all about to change thanks to brand new 2013 BMW Alpina B7 .
Looks aside, the most important part about the brand new Alpina B7 is the engine which features two new Garrett turbochargers (bespoke to Alpina) that boost the 4.4L V8 to 540 hp and 538 lb-ft (20 of each horsepower and torque since 2012). Top speed jumps to 194 mph. Just in case the outgoing model wasn't fast enough for you.
Sitting on new 21" wheels, the 2013 Alpina B7 will be offered in rear-wheel sDrive or all-wheel xDrive platforms. And the old 6-speed gearbox has been replaced with an 8-speed number.
The 2013 BMW Alpina B7 will be available to order in the fall with prices starting at $128,495. Get your cheque books out.
