I recently purchased a 2018 Alpina B6 and completely agree with everything you say in the video about Alpina. It may not be the absolute fastest car on the road (but it's pretty darn close!) but the ride quality is buttery (especially for that level of performance). And I too love the fact that they are very rare and exclusive. I get stares from pedestrians and other drivers every time I drive the car. A lot of "thumbs ups" too!
Holy crap, this Alpina B8 Gran Coupe in that color combination (interior/exterior) is now my second favorite car, my first favorite car is the Lexus LC500.
😀 BIG SMILE ! It made me smile to see your reaction to the (several) launches you did. They are as close to actually driving an Alpina as I have (or probably ever will) come. Thanks for your review of this unicorn of a vehicle -- just as Alpinas have always been.
This is a very beautiful car, I love the style of the 8 series Grand Coup but yeah, the interior is getting a bit dated, mainly the center console in my opinion.
Interior quality matters more than design. This interior looks great. Mercedes is known for creaks and shakes in the interior. Everyone says BMW interiors are better quality.
I would love to have this as my daily driver - yes, I would beat this car like a step-child with a bad attitude. I would probably get about 7 MPG on a good day - passing everything on the road except gas stations.
Oof you know when Soyan says "if you want top speed top performance top exclusively top luxury" you know this one is expensive hahaha if you want everything under the heavens you will pay every money under the heavens as well 😂😂
for $148K , that center screen looks pretty puny .. lol you get a larger screen in some Toyotas granted this probably has better resolution but if you compare this to the adjacent Mercedes it makes this interior look like nothing lol
Pal you got it wrong. Stop comparing this with toyotas . I’ll forgive you for that. As about mercs Alpina s are on top of them as per exclusivity. Rolls Royce produce twice more cars than Alpina. Do you understand that? Is twice more possible to see a rolls Royce on roads than a bmw Alpina. And comparing them with Mercedes, ... just don’t. You re flashy get a merc , stylish? .. you get it
alpina is not a tuning company, but a car manufacturer`. and its not a 4 door sedan, but a gran coupe, thus the lower roof line, and lower stance in general
No it is not that’s an alpina B7 nobody buys an 8 series to be chauffeured around in who would buy a coupe to be chauffeured in that doesn’t make sense
BMW always blows it…Would have been better as a true hatchback. No Alpina branding on the key fob. No massaging seats. Details matter, especially when vehicle is over $150K. Thunk BMW.
End of an error for ICE cars. Petrol heads can argue this until the cows come home. Such a pity that they don’t make many EV’s that look like this hey but I know they are coming. Interesting this one. $140k but no heated rear seats or massaging front seats, but soft close doors, weird packaging hey. Love the exterior & interior look however I agree it’s dated. As beautiful as it is, personally I’d rather have a Lucid. A nice PV system on my roof & never ever have to worry about pumping stinky gasoline with a filthy covid unclean pump handle and never be held hostage to thug oil companies again. Good riddance! 👍🏻☺️🚗

Agreed. I own a 2016 B6…..lots of looks and thumbs up. The ride quality is amazing!
That signature wheels of Alpina is about 4 decades old as I remember but still beautiful
Excellent quality in this video especially since you’ve only had 30 mins with the car. Astounding! Keep up the great work!
Alpina is a manufacturer not a tuner. They have their own vin/serial number they get partially complete cars from BMW to finish
The B8 is a beautiful car. Can’t go wrong with the blue or green. Those Alpina rims are legendary!
"OMG THE DRAMA"!!! THE EFFEMINATE MILLENNIAL GENERATION IS EVERYWHERE.

You sir have an excellent taste in GT cars 👌
Holy Beautiful
Literally me 😂
Oh that exhaust note!! It will be a sad day when EV's completely take over...
Its already happening im so devastated
I've always liked the wheels alpina uses.
Alpina is an indipendant manufacturer, on the manufacturing plate / VIN you will find the proof.
@@thomassmith6027 no they have a contract with bmw
Such an amazing car WOW!!! Great review Sofyan!!!

thats the nicest rear end ive seen on any bmw
The way you describe the ride quality of the Alpina is exactly how I describe my 9-5 aero and S70 T5
No way
The color, the wheels, the interior. I love the 90's (for real).

It looks like you were not expecting that, that was a kickback
Best modern bmw design
That’s worth the money they are asking and that paint is just amazing!
i agree this car is a better buy than a M8 Competition. it fills the role of a fast luxury GT better
I'm surprised you used the word exclusively in the video title.
Alpina is a great manufacturer. The cars are rarely seen and are very exclusive.
Stunning ride
Is the driving portion in a different tester (color looks different inside)? Great video well done.
More 0 to 60 runs Sofyan just for your reactions 👏👏👏
Where is the big grill?
Ultimate grail car
This is a very beautiful car, I love the style of the 8 series Grand Coup but yeah, the interior is getting a bit dated, mainly the center console in my opinion.
"futures electric..." BMW own song!!
this exhaust sounds more classy whereas the m8 sounds like a sports car
Will you take it over the RS7?
"Coopy swoopy big luxury sedans....." 😂
Interior quality matters more than design. This interior looks great. Mercedes is known for creaks and shakes in the interior. Everyone says BMW interiors are better quality.
Love this car, I just with they'd use the paddles from the M8 and not those silly buttons lol
Damn. Has it really been 4 years? Seems like yesterday
Very Nice Bro. Get Good!
There's no comfort+ settings?
My favorite BMW currently available
Before I watch this video, I guess the door has a nice and solid sounding.
I love my soft close doors! You just have to remind passangers they shut themselves.
I would love to have this as my daily driver - yes, I would beat this car like a step-child with a bad attitude. I would probably get about 7 MPG on a good day - passing everything on the road except gas stations.
@DOGS LOL No, I would trash that car in 6 months.
@@MTB_Rider_96 😂😂
In Australia we say "Beat it like a red-headed step child."Similar outlook, but probably less p.c. than yours, but hardly hear our version anymore.
Oof you know when Soyan says "if you want top speed top performance top exclusively top luxury" you know this one is expensive hahaha if you want everything under the heavens you will pay every money under the heavens as well 😂😂
It was heartbreaking to see a car that beautiful sitting in the red dirt. Whose idea was that?
Do I have to change my name to Lance...and wear a White Titleist Cap?
Who will clean those rims?

for rich BMW customers where needs a little bit more luxury, comfort, prestige and exclusivity.

It’s hard to find bmw w ventilated Seats?! 😂
This car to me represents automotive hedonism at its finest. I would drive this car until somebody would have to remove me from it
Wonder why this car has a traditional trunk
Still sounds pretty damn good to me
That is the kind of car that he people who own it don't drive. They are driven.
No it is not that’s an alpina B7 nobody buys an 8 series to be chauffeured around in who would buy a coupe to be chauffeured in that doesn’t make sense
Excellent quality in this video, unlike any of the BMWS.
You have no idea, you have certainly never driven a high-quality BMW.
@@MauriceBln1 it doesn't matter if I have or not. My statement is still a true fact.
@@markkrispin6944 Not true, fake news.
4,800lbs and still in 3.3 seconds...not bad
As seen in rap videos and athletes, garages.
*Congrats to everyone who is early and found this comment* 🥳
not quite impressed... I would go with the GT63s 4Door AMG.
We’re in a crazy time right now where THIS interior is starting to look dated 😅
shhhhhh......🤐
The way the sound cuts off when you stop talking is so annoying
BMW always blows it…Would have been better as a true hatchback. No Alpina branding on the key fob. No massaging seats. Details matter, especially when vehicle is over $150K. Thunk BMW.
that's very nit picky. It has 612hp V8 and the interior doesn't have any cheap materials, even the bottom of the door is covered in leather.
@@kristians2704 hmmmmm The genesis G90 at $70k has the same thing just less engine
ALHAMDULILLAH(SWT), ASTAGHFIRULLAH(SWT)!
