This Alpina doesn't have the Lavalina leather or the signature blue or green colors available. And, you actually have to pay $2,600 more to get the Alpina classic wheels.
What's the premium for?

Since many years ago, I follow Alpina cars, and this is going to be number 3 already.
You have choice to have Camry XLE V6, or Lexus ES350 ultra package.
Nissan or Infinity. Land rover Discovery or Range Rover. Regular car or luxury.
Do I have to really explain you why me and 275 people choose to pay 33K extra to get something unique?
You can go to store and choose leather wallet from no name, or go to designer shop and pay extra that you like. I would never blame people who go to Las Vegas or Atlantic City to gamble, I would never go, don't care. But, I want my XB7 Alpina blue metallic to be delivered to me regardless of 33K extra.
Sorry, but that is true.
