“A MASTERPIECE IN MOTION”
—BMWUSA.com
ALPINA tuning of the 4.4-liter V-8 Bi-Turbo engine results in a total output of 612 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque, for high-performance driving and effortless power delivery.
The 8 Gran Coupes are models of advanced engineering, with standard and available components like Integral Active Steering and an M Sport Differential to enhance handling capabilities.
Powerful standard M Sport Brakes keep you in complete control. Add some style to your wheels with optional black brake calipers.
The unique design of ALPINA front and rear aprons reduces wind resistance, while increasing the flow of cooling air to the engine and powertrain.
Standard 21" ALPINA wheels make this Gran Coupe stand out in a crowd, especially with the finely calibrated ALPINA high-performance brakes.
Hexagonal high-precision Icon Adaptive LED Headlights with Laserlight add to the sleek aesthetic of the 8 Series Gran Coupe.
Even the driver's controls in the ALPINA B8 get a model-specific design. The display of the Digital Instrument Cluster is recreated with brand-specific colors and designs.
Bowers & Wilkins® Diamond Surround Sound System has it all: 16 speakers - including exclusive Diamond Dome tweeters, 1,400 watts of audio power, 10 fully active amplification channels, QuantumLogic Surround/Dynamic Sound Equalizing via measuring microphone and three analog crossover networks for consistent sound quality.
A hand-finished ALPINA LAVALINA leather steering wheel, engraved Glass Controls, and beautiful interior trim – this degree of perfection can only be found in an ALPINA vehicle.
Innovative camera/radar-based driver assistance systems provide partly-automated support to deliver peace of mind. Features like Steering and Lane Keeping Assistant, Lane Change Assistant, Emergency Stop Assistant, and Evasion Aid assist the driver during critical driving situations, such as a health emergency or the sudden presence of vehicles or pedestrians in front of the car.
OK to change lanes? A radar sensor monitors the area around your BMW and triggers an illuminated triangular LED light in the exterior mirror to warn you that there’s a vehicle in your blind spot or approaching at a high speed. If you then start to cross lanes, you will feel a slight vibration in your steering wheel - a secondary caution to remain in your lane.
Active Park Distance Control uses ultrasonic sensors in the front and rear bumpers to help you judge the distance to other vehicles and unseen objects when parking. The system uses an audible warning that beeps faster the closer you get to an object, turning into a constant tone when the distance is less than 12 inches. Automatic braking will engage when stationary objects are detected as you back up slowly, or if there are obstacles in the immediate vicinity in front of or behind the vehicle.
