Description
I am offering for sale my 2004 Alpina B7, number 52 of just 803 examples produced worldwide, a rare and increasingly collectible modern classic. The B7 is based on the E65 BMW 7 Series but was comprehensively re-engineered by Alpina, both mechanically and aesthetically, to create one of the most discreet yet capable luxury performance saloons of its era. Alpina transformed the standard 745i by increasing power from 333 bhp to an impressive 500 bhp through the addition of a bespoke supercharger system, alongside numerous chassis and mechanical upgrades. The result is effectively a four-door luxury supercar, delivering immense performance while maintaining the refinement and comfort expected of a flagship executive saloon. At the time of production, Alpina's conversion almost doubled the cost of the donor 745i. In hindsight, this created a truly special car that sits in a completely different league from the standard modelcombining effortless pace with exceptional comfort, something Alpina has always been renowned for. My car is finished in Black Sapphire Metallic, which perfectly suits Alpina's understated design philosophy. The Alpina styling cues are present but discreet, giving the car an elegant near-factory appearance. Inside, the cabin is trimmed in Nasca leather in Natur-Braun with black accents, complemented by bespoke Alpina veneers and an exceptional level of equipment including front and rear climate-controlled seats and full electric adjustment throughout. The car spent the majority of its life in Japan, benefiting from salt-free roads and careful ownership, and comes with a full Japanese service history. It is supplied with all original manuals, the leather document wallet, two keys, and supporting service invoices, providing a complete and well-documented history. The vehicle was UK registered in 2025, with all import duties and taxes fully paid, and is ready to be enjoyed immediately. Total mileage is just 42,000 kilometres (26,000 miles), which is exceptionally low for a car of this age and rarity. Since arriving in the UK, the car has been fully serviced by Alpina and BMW specialists BMR Performance, where I chose to carry out a comprehensive service rather than simply an inspection. The work included: Engine oil and filter, Gearbox and differential fluid replacement, Spark plugs Engine air filters, Cabin/pollen filters, Full coolant flush, Brake fluid replacement.
