After BMW last week the LCI 8 family presented, with changes to the coupe, cabriolet and gran coupe, Alpina is now moving with the LCI B8 Gran Coupe based on the M8. Here, too, the changes are extremely manageable. The LCI-B8 is available from July of this year and at a price of at least 162.100 euros (Germany). For that you get a B8 Gran Coupe with new illuminated kidneys (Iconic glow kidney lighting) in the front apron, the express even while driving allowed to be active. Furthermore, for a surcharge of 3.400 euros are exclusive Paintwork (Portimao Blue, Sanremo Green, Skyscraper Grey, Frozen Pure Grey, Frozen Tanzanite Blue) available from the Alpina shelf. Of course, the colors from the BMW or BMW Individual range are also available. The typical ones are always included 20-spoke rims from Alpina, who with Pirelli tires in the format 245/35 ZR21 at the front and 285/30 ZR21 at the rear. Alternatively, there is also a second set for use in winter 20-inch wheels in the identical design. The rims can also be painted in black or himalaya grey.
