As for performance, Alpina adds unique front anti-roll bars and also fits adaptive dampers and springs that are dialed in and tuned specifically for this model. It’s also adjusted the front camber to offer better handling.
The steering system from the 4 Series Gran Coupe is re-tuned by Alpina and offers a single Comfort and two Sport modes. Pirelli P Zero performance tires are fitted to all four corners, and they’re adapted specifically for the B4, as they bear the “ALP” code on the sidewall. Alpina says it placed an equal emphasis on ride comfort and dynamic capabilities when specifying the tires.
You’ll be glad for those excellent brakes, because the B4 is capable of doing the 0-62 mph sprint in just 3.7 seconds. It’ll go on to a top speed of 187 mph. Only anis capable of beating that acceleration, so yes, the Alpina B4 is going to be wicked quick. All the shifting is handled via a modified eight-speed automatic transmission. Alpina does the final tuning on shifting comfort and dynamics.
The interior features Alpina’s usual modifications. BMW branding is replaced with Alpina branding throughout. You get a Lavalina leather-covered steering wheel, and you can optionally upgrade all the leather covering the seats to Lavalina in basically any color you desire. The Alpina production plaque sits in the center console, and it displays the car’s specific build number.
Pricing for the B4 Gran Coupe isn’t available at the moment, but it will hardly matter for U.S. customers, since the car doesn’t appear destined for North America. We asked BMW, and a spokesperson told us that there are currently no plans to bring the car here. As such, it will remain European forbidden fruit.
