BMW has just unveiled the 2017 Alpina B7 xDrive, the third-generation Alpina-badged automobile based on the BMW 7 Series. The all-new BMW Alpina sedan has been designed to deliver exceptional performance and the highest levels of luxury.

The 2017 BMW Alpina B7 xDrive is powered by a new 4.4-litre eight-cylinder engine.
