Picked up my new Alpina XB7

Finally found the perfect XB7 for me. Purchased what I believe to be the first Alpina Blue XB7 day after Christmas. Came from an '18 X5M...loved that car, but this one is another level of luxury. Glad to be part of the X7 community now!

Congratulations! We can't wait for our alpina blue in a coupla months

LittleJoe · 01-08-2021, 06:11 AM

Congratulations, that is beautiful and I love it in ALPINA Blue with the 21" wheels. Can't wait for more pics and your review.

bemagrp · 01-08-2021, 07:13 AM

Congratulation!!!

Now I know who bought Alpina Blue Metallic from Winslow BMW of Colorado Springs!!

Mine Alpina Blue is going to active production on 01.15, can't wait anymore.
Can you please post couple of pictures outdoor? Just want to see if I made good desicion moving from Phytonic Blue to Alpina Blue.

Again, enjoy every second with your new toy....

Congratulations. Welcome to our X7 cult....I mean “club”.

LittleJoe · 01-08-2021, 07:58 AM

These 21's remind me of AMG wheels. The 23's are very good looking also but I agree with others that ALPINA should have went with a lighter shade of paint similar to these 21's to go with the chrome trim pieces.

LittleJoe · 01-08-2021, 08:01 AM

Depends on the exterior color, this Tanzanite Blue XB7 looks really good with 23's. ALPINA Blue is more sporty looking.

IND-Distribution · 01-08-2021, 01:18 PM

Congratulations! Love the color combo.

mitch57 · 01-08-2021, 01:32 PM

Congratulations!!! That Alpina Blue is absolutely Stunning!!!

fkim119 · 01-08-2021, 02:47 PM

Welcome to the XB7 club! You will enjoy her! Nearing 2K on the dial on mine!

Beautiful.. love the wheels

Rear tires are $786 a piece and only one option currently. I hope no one is in a rush for a tire replacement.

LimaSierra · 01-08-2021, 04:41 PM

Congrats! Love the Alpina Blue.

Look forward to seeing more.

Have you checked the lease program on this? No one should think about leasing this car right now... 38% residual on 36 mo 12k miles.

LittleJoe · 01-11-2021, 02:38 PM

More pics please

They look amazing and proportioned to the vehicle but no dedicated winter tire available as of yet. Would have to use the 22 or 21 off of other X7 for winter. Considering the cost one should consider the tire/wheel insurance regardless if lease or finance or outright ownership.

It could be worse. You could have rain and wind on top of that every day if you lived where I live.

Reminded me of this scene from Young Frankenstein:

SeanX7 · 01-11-2021, 07:20 PM

Is it possible to get the XB7 with the M Sport Steering wheel or something similar? I absolutely loathe the standard steering wheel.
