No. If ever you will see it, it would be in the 7 series car first. M is not what the 7 series is all about. The M760li would be ruined if it was made to drive stiffer for owners to pretend these are a track car.

You can also make the argument that the V8 shared in the CTT, Bentayga and URUS are from Audi. That these 3 SUVs share the same chassis, and have an upcharge with a fancier name plate. Most of the parts numbers cross reference to VW parts. But anyone driven these 3 SUVs know that they drive wildly different and cater to 3 distinct crowds. Over on the Audi forum, most will say that the Q7 (once again share the chassis and a lot of internals with the above named 3) is about 85% of the fancier name plates. They question the value and sanity of the people buying the Urus, Bentayga and the Cayennes . Different strokes for different folks. I am not sure the people buying Alpina's are looking for value. I sure wasn't. I like the thought of extra cooling, sportier air suspension setup, supporting once a boutique manufacturer, the classic Alpina body kit which might not equate to the extra delta, but who cares. I wanted something unique that wasn't screaming "Hey look at me" like my Bentley would. At the same time, having a growing family, I needed the size of a larger SUV without going domestic. I was actually going to order the X7 M5.0 until the Alpina was introduced. I figured most will think I am driving a regular X7 anyway which is what I wanted. I know what I am driving and the BMW fanboys will likely know what kind of unique SAV this is.

The same reasons people opt for the E63s AMG wagon over the e350. You make it sound like they just slap a different badge on it along with an ECU tune... Next time do a few minutes of research on Alpina's racing heritage and their world renowned attention to detail before hopping on here and looking silly. The fact that they are already sold out speaks for itself.

I have mine, you have yours. It is irrelevant ask people who really wait for XB7 to come if they ready to pay 30K more to have it. Create another tread for people who want spend 30K less and have loaded X7 M50. And I promise, no one will come and say why you didn't pay 30k more to have Alpina. |

What I dont get is why modify the 50i for the alpina version...if they are truly race car inspired then they should have modified the m50i. It would have looked much better and they could have named is xb7m =).
Plus I still cant believe they used the 40i steering wheel...that m sport steering wheel looks so much better. The x7 is truly the best imo for a full sized suv, but I really cant wait til the new escalade comes out. Not really a fan of domestic suvs but they are really getting better...even the new navigator is really nice.
