Is Alpina available in the USA?
The 2026 Alpina XB7 is the last remaining Alpina-branded car available in the US market now that the B7 and B8 are gone, but with the former tuning house set to become an in-house piece of BMW in 2026, we imagine more models will be coming through the pipeline. Production numbers are unclear, but fewer than 300 B7 Turbo Coupés were built across all versions, making it one of ALPINA’s rarest models.
Who bought Alpina?
BMW purchased long-time collaborator Alpina in 2022, but the takeover initially didn’t change much; For the most part, it was business as usual through 2025. This changed on January 1, 2026.

They’re more grand tourers; with blistering speed and effortless comfort. If you want the sharpest, highest-performance BMW possible, go for one with an M badge on it.What of its future? BMW said Alpina will be its own standalone brand and focus on “maximum performance and superior ride comfort, combined with hallmark driving characteristics”. Fast, comfortable, and pointy, then.
