Alpina BMW B5 - 2005

The new BMW ALPINA B5 Bi-Turbo

The fine combination of performance, individuality and luxury, which has defined ALPINA automobiles since the early 1960’s, now reaches a new dimension. The new BMW ALPINA B5 Bi-Turbo combines the best features of its predecessors with state-of-the-art technology.

The new 4.4 litre V8 engine with Bi-Turbo charging, Valvetronic variable valve timing and high-pressure direct fuel injection, delivers a maximum output of 447 kW (608 hp) and 800 Nm of torque. The powerful output and high torque promise excellent driving performance combined with modest fuel consumption. An agile chassis, dynamic handling and electronically adjustable dampers meet highest standards of sportiness and comfort.

SALOON

As one of the fastest of its kind, the new BMW ALPINA B5 Bi-Turbo is a saloon with classic proportions and a dynamic, modern design that combines the performance of a supercar with everyday driveability and comfort. The excellent 4.4 litre 8-cylinder engine accelerates the new BMW ALPINA B5 Bi-Turbo Saloon from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.5 seconds, making it the fastest accelerating model ever produced by ALPINA.  A high torque output of 800 Nm harmonises perfectly with the excellent 8-Speed Sport-Automatic transmission with ALPINA SWITCH-TRONIC, always ensuring that plenty of forward momentum is available up to a top speed of 330 km/h. Combined fuel consumption measured according to ECE norm: 10.5 l/100 km and 240 g/km CO2.

TOURING

The BMW ALPINA B5 Bi-Turbo Touring combines elegant refinement with great versatility and everyday functionality. A generous load volume of max. 1700 liters and distinct family mindedness do not mean the Touring's performance genes are any less pronounced. Perfectly tuned suspension, electronically controlled dampers and neutral, safe handling ensure stability and well-being at all times, especially at the maximum speed of 322 km/h. Regardless of whether its family, business or pleasure, the new BMW ALPINA B5 Bi-Turbo Touring is always an ideal companion that offers unparalleled performance reserves. Combined fuel consumption measured according to ECE norm: 10.8 l/100 km and 247 g/km CO2.

exciting SPORTINESS, relaxed COMFORT

To fulfil the seemingly contradictory demands for comfort, everyday usability and sports car like handling, the new BMW ALPINA B5 Bi-Turbo is equipped with electronically adjustable dampers, light-weight 20” ALPINA CLASSIC forged wheels and, for the first time,  active rear-wheel steering (Integral Active Steering). It gives the new BMW ALPINA B5 Bi-Turbo the agility and handling of a much smaller car. 

For the first time in history, the BMW ALPINA B5 Bi-Turbo comes with performance enhancing all-wheel drive as standard. Based on the intelligent BMW xDrive system and featuring a ALPINA specific torque distribution, it guarantees maximum traction, neutral driving dynamics and high levels of safety.

Unmistakeable ALPINA
