In This Article ALPINA has always occupied a rare space in the BMW universe. The marque blends hand-finished craftsmanship, bespoke performance, and understated luxury in a way that even BMW doesn’t. Now, under BMW’s full stewardship, the brand faces questions about its future direction. In an interview with YouTube channel MotoManTV Podcast, the company’s CEO,

It’s been over a year since car paparazzi surprised us with images of this intriguing camouflaged vehicle. Clearly a Neue Klasse coupe of some sort, the cloaked BMW was never seen again. It remains unclear whether the car was intended as a concept or a prototype. However, the fact that it was caught in motion

The road-legal M3 GTR has always been something of a unicorn. People talk about it, but the ultimate E46 is rarely seen out in the open. Only 10 were ever built, and not even BMW knows where all of them are today. This makes hearing the elusive V8-powered machine fire up its P60B40 engine as

ALPINA made a name for itself by pampering big BMWs with large-displacement engines. But this car doesn’t carry the famous roundel, nor does it have a V8 under the hood.

What started as a passion project has now grown into a phenomenon, and at the 2025 annual gathering, history was made. For the

BMW is facing another major recall, with more than 196,000 vehicles in the United States and at least 136,500 in Germany being pulled back due to a defect in the starter motor that poses a potential fire risk. The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) announced the campaign on Friday, warning owners not to

There is a common misconception that ALPINA is merely a tuner. However, more than 40 years have passed since the German Federal Ministry of Transport recognized it as a car manufacturer. Each vehicle built in Buchloe carries an ALPINA-specific VIN and an individual production plaque. But ALPINA does much more. It restores classic cars and
