Road Test Alpina B5 BiTurbo

The brand new BMW 5-Series is everything you would expect from the Bavarian car maker. Take the 550i and you will experience a combination of power, handling, comfort, luxury plus tons of technological highlights you won’t come across in many other luxury saloon packages. The 2011 BMW F10 5-Series – often referred to as the baby 7-Series – is the sixth generation of the vehicle and it is here to stay for the next few years. Alpina have taken the brand new top of the line model and created a package which fits between the stock 550i and the upcoming F10M M5.

The exclusive tuner from Buchloe, Germany injects a little extra passion to cars that already come from the factory as decent and fast luxury cars. Alpina’s latest creation is named the B5 BiTurbo, giving away the essence of the upgrades. Subsequently, the looks have changed, leaving us with only single question; how does it drive!

The package, offered to us for a multi-day test drive, is based on a long-established benchmark mid-size sport sedan packed with every single BMW option you could imagine, sharing its platform with the current 7 Series. Built in Dingolfing, Germany, the architecture is shared through many common visible and non-visible components. Our first impression was that it has changed its initial characteristics from sport to luxury and it has moved up market significantly.
