Is Alpina B7 discontinued?
One of the world’s most esteemed sedans is heading to its final retirement: the Alpina B7 is no longer being produced on the BMW 7-Series chassis, and everything indicates that it will never be. Of course, there’s a reason why cars like this depreciate so heavily. Maintenance costs on a used ALPINA B7 can be eye-watering. Everything from tires to suspension components to electronic systems is expensive to repair or replace.
Is a BMW 7 Series high maintenance?
As a high-end luxury sedan, the BMW 7 Series tends to experience significant depreciation, particularly in its first few years. This is partly due to the high initial purchase price and the expensive maintenance costs associated with luxury vehicles. The high maintenance costs, lightning-quick tech advancements, and even market saturation in the luxury segment play a part in this decline. While some may not find it too troublesome, the average BMW loses over 50% of its value within the first five years!
