You “can”, but you don’t “have to” switch to the new one BMW M5 F90 waiting! With a spectacular top speed of 330 km/h, the brand new BMW Alpina B5 G30 is now catching prey and is the alternative to the planned top model from Munich. It celebrates its premiere at the Geneva Motor Show 2017 on March 09.03.2017th, 5! The new Alpina B5 Biturbo is based on the recently introduced 30 Series G5 and those who don't want to wait for the next M5 will definitely be happy with the B5. The B63 is powered by the well-known N4,4 8-liter twin-turbo VXNUMX from the B7 and with 608 hp and a maximum torque of 800 Newton meters, the performance is identical to that of the upper-class 7 Series. It is therefore clear that the B5 definitely does not want to avoid various duels with the M5. Like the 7 Series, the Alpina sends the brute power of the V8 biturbo to all four wheels, which ensure superior traction and impressive driving performance.

When the road is dry, it accelerates to 3,5 km/h in just 100 seconds and the comfortable sedan breaks through the 200 mark in just 11,4 seconds. There is no question that the B5 is at least on par with the RS6, E63 AMG & Co. and once again leaves them behind in terms of the top speed of 330 km/h. While the competition electronically puts a stop to propulsion at 250 km/h (optionally approx. 305 km/h), the B5 is allowed to continue turning and is therefore in a league of its own.
The Buchloe-based company ensures that lateral dynamics are not neglected with a high-tech chassis package. Thanks to rear axle steering, roll stabilization or adaptive dampers, the 5 Series is more agile than ever. The Alpina-specific tuning also makes the difference and ensures that all components can be explored to the maximum ex works. Of course, long-distance comfort is not neglected either, because that has been the outstanding feature of Alpina vehicles compared to the M models for decades.

Unlike the BMW 5 Series G30 & M5, Alpina makes it possible to use a Comfort Pro mode that pushes all components in the direction of sovereignty and driving comfort. Even if the B5 has an additionally stiffened front end or a more powerful brake system, this is rather unimportant in this mode. Comfort Pro mode means cruising and it will definitely end up ahead of the M counterpart in this chapter. And in contrast to the Munich plans, Alpina will also offer the G31 as a B5 top model and thus have a unique selling point compared to the M5.
Like the F10, it will most likely not be available as a touring car. But until that B5 Touring G31 will be presented, some time may pass and maybe the IAA 2017 is the right place for that. Incidentally, the same applies to the potent diesel variant D5, the appearance of which is a done deal. This should also give the M550d interesting competition. It is best if you subscribe to our feed and if there is anything new, you will be informed immediately. We hope you enjoy looking at the pictures and videos.

There is an interesting message for all fans of the BMW E34 M5 & E61 M5 Touring. No, the M-GmbH did not bring itself to bring the current G31 Touring as an M variant! But soon the BMW Alpina B5 Touring G31 will be officially available for purchase and with 608 PS & 800 NM torque it is on par with the future M5 sedan, but enjoys the advantage of being able to transport 1700l of luggage without any problems. While there were no official pictures of the G3 B31 5 days ago, that has now changed and the first virtual pictures have appeared on Alpina's homepage.

Not surprising is the fact that the key data of the Touring are almost identical to the sedan presented above. In concrete terms, the more practical variant goes from 3,6 to 0 km/h in 100 seconds (0,1 seconds slower than the sedan) and tops out at an outstanding 322 km/h (8 km/h slower than the Limousine). These values are still sufficient to outclass every standard M5 and future owners will probably continue to enjoy a special position with regard to the touring version.

- 1.700 liters of trunk volume, but clear advantages in everyday life. However, the more practical body shape hardly has a negative effect on performance, after all, the BMW Alpina B5 Touring also has 608 hp on board - that has an effect

- 3,6 seconds from 0 to 100 km / h
