Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

High-performance large luxury sedans are a special breed, pairing extremes of both acceleration and refinement in the hunt for ultimate exclusivity. Even in this small, rigorously competitive group of vehicles, the 2019 BMW Alpina B7 is a standout.A one-year subscription of Apple CarPlay support comes standard.The active safety features previously available in the Driving Assistance package are now standard.

Pros
Smooth yet ridiculous acceleration
Prestige and exclusivity from low volume and overall distinctiveness
Opulent and spacious back seats

Cons
Subscription-based Apple CarPlay support
Rear seats don't fold down
Only available in just one configuration

By:

Pros
Joyful driving demeanor,
perky turbocharged engines,
uniquely Porsche exterior design.

Cons
Base interior accoutrements are too basic,
rear seat isn't very spacious,
doesn't haul as much cargo as some rivals.
