   Geneva 2009: An M7 by any other name - 2009 BMW Alpina B7 Bi-Turbo
From www.autoblog.com

Click above for high-res gallery of the BMW Alpina B7 Bi-Turbo

All indications are that BMW won't, in the end, be producing an M7 based on its new-generation F01 7 Series.
That would've been cool, but before the Mercedes S63 AMG and Audi S8
can breathe a sigh of relief, Bavaria's pseudo-factory partner Alpina
has something to say about it, and this is what it spake: the B7
Bi-Turbo � a BMW 7 Series with an attitude. At its heart is a
twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8, which produces 507 horsepower thanks to
larger-vane turbos and a new intercooler, driving through a retuned
Switch-Tronic ZF six-speed automatic transmission, and a recalibrated
suspension designed to optimize the balance between supercar control
and luxury sedan comfort. 4.7 seconds is all it takes to hustle to 60
mph, while custom 21-inch rims riding on conventional rubber replace
the stock run-flats and a bespoke leather and wood interior round out
the package.

	NOW!!!! yer talking----Alpina IS a world away from AG--Buchloe engines breathe a special mixture that M.s do not and are free to perform without the 155mph limits--Buchloe Torque is THE real talk--- That green Alpina coupe in the photo will no doubt speak for itself in the 09 European championships Edited by safe1 - 05 Mar 2009 at 6:10pm
