A lovely documentary on the founding of Alpina, it's owners, cars and the factory in Buchloe.
"Since 1965, the Alpina company has made it its business to make selected BMW models more unique. New components are sometimes developed for the conversions, some of which are manufactured in-house at the main plant in Buchloe, not far from Munich. Each Alpina vehicle must pass numerous quality and performance tests before it is released for series production. The report accompanies the production of a BMW Alpina B7 and a BMW SUV Alpina XB7."
I don't know what people see in new RR, but to me that car looks boring AF, unimaginative and bland from the outside... Desing wise it's not even close to X7, let alone Alpina XB7... Imo of course.
Alpina Burkard Bovensiepen GmbH & Co. KG is an automobile manufacturing
company and sub-brand of BMW AG, based in Buchloe, in the Ostallgäu
district of Bavaria, Germany. Since 1965, Alpina has developed and sold
high-performance versions of BMW cars.
