Standard equipment Alpina-specific: 21-inch Alpina Dynamic forged wheels (or optional 23-inch Alpina Classic forged), Alpina-specific exhaust, Lavalina leather, Alpina-tuned brakes. 2024 facelift added 48V mild hybrid and the 631-hp tune. 2025 'XB7 Manufaktur' limited edition (120 units for US/Canada) marked the final purely-Alpina-branded production before BMW formally absorbed Alpina from 2026 model year.
