BMW debuts new Alpina model at the 31st Amelia Concours 2026

At the 31^st Amelia Concours d'Elegance, held from 6 to 8 March 2026, BMW marked three milestones in its performance heritage as well as the world premiere of an exclusive, limited-production Alpina model: The 2026 BMW Alpina XB7 Manufaktur.

The model will be offered exclusively in two paint finishes never before available on the XB7: Frozen Alpina Green and Frozen Alpina Blue. And completing both finishes are exterior design elements finished in Shadowline high-gloss black, including the standard 23-inch Alpina Classic forged 20-spoke wheels.

And regardless of exterior finish, the XB7 Manufaktur's interior is upholstered in Tartufo Full Merino leather and trimmed in Alpina Walnut Nature Black. Each front headrest carries the heritage Alpina script embroidered in green and blue. Black front floor mats feature silver Alpina emblem pins, while the trunk mat is embroidered with the "Manufaktur" wordmark.

On the forward console lid, a silver "BMW Alpina XB7 Manufaktur" plaque confirms each vehicle's place as "1 of 120" - a direct statement of the model's significance.

Each example of the XB7 Manufaktur will feature exclusive details that make it a truly unique model

At the heart of every Alpina XB7 Manufaktur is a 4.4-litre Bi-Turbo V8 that is based on the BMW S68 engine and delivers 622bhp and 800Nm of torque. Paired with an eight-speed Alpina Switch-Tronic transmission and integrated 48V starter-generator, the model completes the century sprint in 3.9 seconds.

Limited to just 120 examples for the U.S.A and Canada, every XB7 Manufaktur will be assembled at the BMW Plant Spartanburg in South Carolina. Production is set to commence in September 2026, with deliveries commencing in Q4 of the same year.
