BMW ALPINA stands for Grand Touring at the highest level. Building on a strong heritage, the brand’s promise—Elevating Journeys—reflects a driving experience defined by serene power, refined precision, and composed comfort. Every automobile is a crafted masterpiece for discerning individuals who make no compromise when it comes to performance, character, or elegance.
How does the former Alpina brand differ from today’s BMW ALPINA?
The former Alpina brand has evolved into an endorsed brand within the BMW Group. While Alpina historically refined BMW vehicles across several segments, BMW ALPINA now represents a dedicated brand identity within the portfolio. Although the product offering and processes have changed, future BMW ALPINA automobiles will embody a new expression of the brand while preserving the heritage and hallmark characteristics that define Alpina.
What is the difference between BMW ALPINA and BMW M?
BMW M represents the ultimate BMW with expressive, motorsport‑inspired performance—Born on the Racetrack and Made for the Streets. BMW ALPINA, in contrast, focuses on the top‑end luxury segment, offering authentic, characterful vehicles defined by discreet luxury. Compared to BMW M, BMW ALPINA emphasizes serene speed, long‑distance comfort, and a refined Grand Touring character.
Will the Vision BMW ALPINA become a series-production vehicle?
The Vision BMW ALPINA is a design and technology outlook that demonstrates the brand’s future direction. The design study itself is not intended for sale. However, key elements of the Vision BMW ALPINA—design, materials, driving experience, and brand interpretation—will flow into future BMW ALPINA models. When will the first BMW ALPINA automobiles be available?
The new era of vehicles from BMW ALPINA are currently in development. Stay tuned for more details.

- Finally, a BMW the way it’s supposed to be again: low, wide, elegant, with a shark nose and the Hofmeister kink. Yes, BMW, THIS is what we want! Not those ugly, bloated, heavy box-like things such as the BMW iX3. The only thing left is to redesign the cockpit so it’s more driver-oriented, with fewer ugly freestanding screens.- This would be a nice looking car (from the outside) if the front grill was smaller and the two smaller light strips at the back were removed.
- I love the shark nose (of old BMWs), but this one looks weird the way they have it look like it is opening up into two pieces. I am not sure if that works, it looks interesting, though.
- It's useless if it's just gonna end as just a concept car just like any other concept that never made it to production. We're tired of seeing concepts that are there just for the sake of it.
- Alpina is definitely moving forward with this. The question is whether BMW is. You can’t order a new Alpina today, and that’s quite telling of an upcoming model change.
