As @Jstein55 mentioned and which I agree with:



Compared to the Alpina B7, this is a bit mediocre.
The B7 had pretty much the same treatments that the XB7 is getting, with the exception of the extended stitching, which is a function of it being a G12 LCI, not an Alpina. We don't know if the door sills are illuminated (they likely are) because it's light in the picture, but from these images we can see the typical Alpina treatment to the interior. Individual Merino leather with contrast stitching and piping, Alcantara headliner, Alpina logo on the Piano Black trim as well as on the iDrive controller, Alpina plaque on the cover forward of the gear selector, Alpina-specific instrument cluster design, etc.

I'm just curious what this is missing that you're expecting or seeing from the B7, with the exception of the extended stitching.

Also, this is just one car in one spec we're seeing. We don't have the ordering/pricing guides to see what else is available and what other Alpina-specific options are available to the XB7.
