The Alpina B6 is the sister car to the BMW M6 Gran Coupe, based off the 650i GC, it is the luxury oriented approaching to high powered luxury. Compared to the carbon fiber covered M6, the Alpina features fine leather and stitching and wood trim. It is no slacker in the performance department, with a top speed of nearly 200mph, the B6 is a rocketship. More comfortable, smoother, and classier than the M6, check out this ownership interview about what it's like to own an Alpina B6!
Alpinas are beautiful! They’re somewhat refined - people nowadays don’t know what that means.
I have had my 2017 b6 for a few months. It is the finest car I have ever been in. This is an excellent review of the Alpina. Recently, another driver stopped me in traffic to compliment me for driving a “unicorn” - a rare and special car. He is right. I have never seen another and the car is not ostentatious, as few people even recognize it. If I were 50 again, I might go for the M6 instead, but closing in on 70 this is the car for me. I especially like the x drive here in the NE, and the infrared camera that alerts me to deer and pedestrians. Special.
Hey, do you still have the car? How has your ownership experience been? I am looking to get a low mileage 2016.
Me too
Enjoyed the conversation. Sums up the B6 well. Special but understated. The 2016-2019 models have the blue calipers and bigger brakes to go along with wider tires all around and +60hp/50lbft. Also has a bit more aggressive hood style. Alpina Blue and Green are the Alpina exclusive colors that you apparently can’t get on any other BMW. Nice ride! Congrats
I have a 2016 B6. Last fall I was driving the speed limit down the road, the engine just shut-off. Never started back up. Ended up blowing the engine. The car is ALWAYS dealer maintained. And NEVER abused. It had 47000 miles. Dealer quoted me $40,000 for a new motor. Car was 7 months out of warranty. I fought with BMW . Got them to pay 75% of the total cost, ended up paying just under $12,000 including starter and a couple other parts. Anyway. Just be careful. I would hate this to happen to anyone else. Unfortunately this is a common problem with BMW motors. Look it up! Good luck, they really are amazing cars! The way I looked at it for $10k I have a brand new motor straight from the Alpina factory
Alpina's used to be the top of the line performance and luxury wise a couple years ago. I wanna say back in the E39, E36 series days and older. The E34 B10 Bi-Turbo was the fastest production car in the world when it was released.
I got a 2010 Ford Fusion
The brakes for the 2015 and 2016 models are the same rotors found in 760Li (possibly shared with the RR Ghost, Wraith, and Dawn - not the calipers or pads). As someone else said in the comments below, the brakes changed fro the 2016-2019 model years (it seems like the retained the rotors from 2015 on the '16s but changed the calipers and pads).
I wanna see his views on your rs7
Billy Highfill I thought it’s a better “ultimate driving machine” but less refined for long distance driving.
Audi RS7 was better than both B6 xdrive and CLS 63 amg S
Trippin
@@yeldarb1880 Yep, more spacious, faster, more comfortable, hardly better looking. Who is tripping you fanboy
The sound is like on left and right mode. Awesome video, but if you could fix that next time it would be awesome.
Actually makes me kind of a sad that the ended the 6 series coupe and gran coupe. But I guess they might come in down value now maybe ?
With the very limited production numbers (only ~1.100 build worldwide from 2015-2019), this is a collectors’ item already and will increase in value. Definitely much more space than the new 8
$10 per HP is an excellent value. His cost is more like $100 per HP, so you guys were "slightly" off lol
Great video . beautiful car. very timely because I have just started to look at Alpinas and possibly getting one. What is the difference between B6 and the B7?
B6 is built on the 6 Series Gran Coupe platform. B7 is built on the 7 series platform.
Superb Alpine motoring car. Daily driver duties seems a bit prosaic for such a thoroughbred steed? But not so much Bavarian alpine passes in Michigan.
You should do a video of how it's like to own that Audi A8L w12
Alpina does amazing work if only we got the B4 or X3 version here in America
Are Alpina engines any better or more reliable that the crappy BMW engines those cars come with?
Yes
the RS7 got very very cheap interior for the price, BMW has full; leather everything (including dash and doors)
:/
Audi cmon, at least altest gen a7/s7 has full leather, albeit the cheaper dakota
Can you review the genesis g80
Is the alpina expensive to maintain
no it's like a regular bmw 650i xdrive. Not as expensive as porsche panamera and some mercedes V8 amg
Was this guy complaining about 19 mpg?? Was expecting much less
Cool car cool guy
80+ miles a day!!?! I would not be driving this thing to work. Get yourself a fuel efficient daily and keep this in the garage.
Let everyone decide how they spend their money.
Plecakofil let everyone voice their opinion.
BMW's are based on efficiency from the start, he probably averages 18-20 MPG and drives a beast.
@@jessecastro895 Lol. You stated your opinion, no one is suppressing you.
like to own.. expensive .....
Drinks a lot of oil !! My dream car however !! ❤
$10 per horse power? Try $100 per horse power LOL
Not very rare
Tow truck is waiting... Junk
You must be a Scotty Kilmer supporter 🤣
Why you say it’s junk? Did you have this car and it broke down... or are you just saying negative things just to say them.
@@itwaswritten804 Worked in a tow-yard for 11years and BMW is the most unreliable brand of cars ever made and thats 100%
Boring old mens car
imagine seeing an “old man” passing you at 198mph. definitely not boring...
KBnotstock No road in 2019 in a major city will allow you to do 198 anyways 😂...maybe at 3 am
@@kevspec I own a Audi RS4 (B9), I think I would pass this guy even with half throttle .
logtec 11
Zero to 60 mph: 3.7 sec
Zero to 100 mph: 8.2 sec
Standing ¼-mile: 12.0 sec
Top speed: 198 mph
Doubtful
