BMW will bring back the Alpina 7 Series in 2027.

The full-size luxury sedan is getting an Alpina-specific V8 engine without electrification.

It'll be even more comfortable than the regular 7 Series.

It’s safe to say the Vision BMW Alpina stole the show over the weekend at the 2026 Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este. An imposing luxury coupe, the four-seat grand tourer won’t be the first model in the BMW era of Alpina. In fact, it may never see the light of day. For now, the sleek GT is billed as a “one-of-one design study.” In the meantime, the newly established sub-brand is putting the finishing touches on a large sedan.

BMW has confirmed that the first Alpina model since taking over the brand name will be based on the 7 Series. It’s scheduled to arrive sometime next year with a V8 engine, serving as a spiritual successor to the B7, last sold in 2022. Logic suggests the stately sedan will be heavily based on the recently facelifted flagship from Munich. However, we’re told it will be “unmistakably BMW Alpina.”
