ALPINA Automobiles has been revered for its automotive ingenuity that embodies the ultimate in both performance and luxury. These vehicles cater to discerning drivers who demand a unique blend of power and refinement, seamlessly transitioning from a serene long-distance cruiser to a machine capable of exhilarating, forceful acceleration.
The BMW ALPINA B6 xDrive Gran Coupe 650i (F06), produced from 2012 to 2019, stands as a notable example of ALPINA philosophy. This luxury coupe combined an elegant, distinctive silhouette with high-performance capabilities and advanced technology. Upon its release, this B6 Gran Coupe made a significant impact as BMW’s first ever four door coupe. The artistry of its form was striking – the graceful roofline, wide rear stance, frameless windows, opulent interior, waterfall dashboard, and perfect proportions all contributed to its aesthetic appeal.
The ALPINA B6 xDrive Gran Coupe took the already alluring F06 6 Series and transformed it into a pristine expression of exclusivity and understated power. A 4.4-liter 540 horsepower Bi-Turbo V8 pushes the B6 from 0-60 in just 3.7 seconds and on to a top speed of 198 miles per hour. Twenty-inch ALPINA CLASSIC wheels and a sports steering wheel wrapped in hand-stitched LAVALINA leather characterize the B6’s exquisite attention to detail and bespoke nature.
Andrew’s acquisition of this particular B6 was a fateful and fortuitous encounter. He had just started to consider a B6 Gran Coupe and within the same month, a B6 appeared in Atlanta, Georgia. Andrew was drawn by its radiant beauty – stunning ALPINA Blue Metallic paint over rare Canyon Brown Full Merino Leather with contrast stitching and striking ALPINA Myrtle Wood Trim. The car had almost every option, including a Bang and Olufsen sound system, Adaptive LED headlights, Ceramic controls and power sunshades. After researching the car’s history and discovering that the car was previously sold in his hometown of New Hyde Park, New York, he knew that this example of automotive perfection was the one for him.
