We sat with van Hooydonk in a small group session on the shores of Lake Como after the car\u2019s debut and asked most of them.<\/p>\n<h2>The Most Significant Concept Of His Career<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/vision-bmw-alpina-photos-20.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-513403\" title=\"VISION BMW ALPINA PHOTOS 20\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/vision-bmw-alpina-photos-20-830x553.jpg\" alt=\"VISION BMW ALPINA PHOTOS 20\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/vision-bmw-alpina-photos-20-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/vision-bmw-alpina-photos-20-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/vision-bmw-alpina-photos-20-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/vision-bmw-alpina-photos-20-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/vision-bmw-alpina-photos-20.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>When someone asked whether this was the most important concept van Hooydonk had presented at Villa d\u2019Este, he didn\u2019t hedge.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would say that yes, because we have not many brands \u2014 we have Mini, Rolls-Royce, BMW Motorrad, and BMW. I\u2019ve been with the company for quite a while. I wasn\u2019t there when BMW was founded, to be honest, but I was there when we acquired Mini and Rolls-Royce, so I know how BMW goes about bringing a new brand into the fold.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The process, as he describes it, is the same every time: study the history hard, identify what matters, keep it, and build from there. What makes this moment different from prior Villa d\u2019Este concepts is that BMW can no longer claim these are just design exercises. They\u2019ve been showing concept cars here for over a decade, and some of them \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2025\/11\/03\/bmw-skytop-production-car-images\/\">Skytop<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2025\/05\/28\/bmw-speedtop-concept-production-story\/\">Speedtop<\/a> \u2014 became production cars.<\/p>\n<h2>Where The Design Actually Came From<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/vision-bmw-alpina-photos-00.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-513408\" title=\"VISION BMW ALPINA PHOTOS 00\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/vision-bmw-alpina-photos-00-830x553.jpg\" alt=\"VISION BMW ALPINA PHOTOS 00\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/vision-bmw-alpina-photos-00-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/vision-bmw-alpina-photos-00-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/vision-bmw-alpina-photos-00-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/vision-bmw-alpina-photos-00-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/vision-bmw-alpina-photos-00.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The sharknose front is the first thing that hits you. One journalist compared it to a \u201cDavid Cameron-esque\u201d sharpness \u2014 the kind of acute, almost aggressive point that disappeared from German grand tourers sometime around the mid-2000s. Van Hooydonk said the direct reference is the ALPINA B7 Turbo Coupe, the E24 6 Series with the extreme nose and deep plan view.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis one takes it even further,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s even more acute, even more extreme, more sculptural, more three-dimensional.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The rear was harder. BMW\u2019s recent cars have gone either vertical or rearward-leaning at the top. Neither felt right for ALPINA. The solution came from the same source car: the E24 6 Series also has a slanted rear at this angle. That historical precedent gave the team permission to go there, and then they mirrored the plan shape front-to-back to give the car visual coherence.<\/p>\n<h2>The Quiet Luxury Position<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/vision-bmw-alpina-photos-official-03.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-513416\" title=\"VISION BMW ALPINA PHOTOS OFFICIAL 03\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/vision-bmw-alpina-photos-official-03-830x467.jpg\" alt=\"VISION BMW ALPINA PHOTOS OFFICIAL 03\" width=\"830\" height=\"467\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/vision-bmw-alpina-photos-official-03-830x467.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/vision-bmw-alpina-photos-official-03-1820x1024.jpg 1820w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/vision-bmw-alpina-photos-official-03-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/vision-bmw-alpina-photos-official-03-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/vision-bmw-alpina-photos-official-03.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>When asked how much the new ALPINA production cars would visually differ from the BMW donor car underneath them, van Hooydonk was honest about the answer: not much, and on purpose.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAn ALPINA is for connoisseurs, meaning people that love driving, they like driving fast, but they don\u2019t want to communicate to the outside world that they bought a race car. That would be an M customer. And therefore we thought that is the position, that is the opportunity for ALPINA.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He contrasted this directly with where M has gone \u2014 louder, brighter colors, more visible aero. ALPINA is going the other way. If a customer wants zero exterior distinction and just a tasteful color, that\u2019s fully available.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/vision-bmw-alpina-photos-official-11.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-513410\" title=\"VISION BMW ALPINA PHOTOS OFFICIAL 11\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/vision-bmw-alpina-photos-official-11-830x467.jpg\" alt=\"VISION BMW ALPINA PHOTOS OFFICIAL 11\" width=\"830\" height=\"467\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/vision-bmw-alpina-photos-official-11-830x467.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/vision-bmw-alpina-photos-official-11-1820x1024.jpg 1820w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/vision-bmw-alpina-photos-official-11-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/vision-bmw-alpina-photos-official-11-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/vision-bmw-alpina-photos-official-11.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>But for those who do want the signals, they\u2019re defined and on display in the concept: the \u201cALPINA\u201d wordmark in the lower air dam, amber daytime running lights that are always present and not optional, 20-spoke wheels with spokes extended all the way to the rim edge rather than set inward as the old ALPINA wheels were, oval exhaust tips, and body-side striping that is now painted rather than applied as a sticker.<\/p>\n<p>The wheel design change drew a direct question \u2014 would there still be a traditional ALPINA wheel with the deeper barrel? The answer was no. \u201cWe prefer to actually make the wheel look even bigger by extending the spoke all the way to the outside of the rim. I know ALPINA had them always set in, but that doesn\u2019t look as big, and now with different production methods we can extend the length of the spoke. And 22 inches, 23 inches \u2014 also not so bad.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>What The Bovensiepen Relationship Actually Looked Like<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/alpina-b7-e24-02.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-513583\" title=\"ALPINA B7 E24 02\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/alpina-b7-e24-02-830x553.jpg\" alt=\"ALPINA B7 E24 02\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/alpina-b7-e24-02-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/alpina-b7-e24-02-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/alpina-b7-e24-02-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/alpina-b7-e24-02-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/alpina-b7-e24-02.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>One of the more interesting threads in the conversation was about what ALPINA\u2019s relationship with BMW looked like before the 2022 acquisition \u2014 and why the merger was, in van Hooydonk\u2019s telling, natural for both sides.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery time we designed a new BMW, Mr. Bovensiepen Senior, when he was still alive, would come in, look at the car, and then he would go back and think about what he could do to it. But there was always this strive for good coexistence, because he was very smart in the sense that he always looked at BMW\u2019s product portfolio including M and decided always to make an offer that M or BMW didn\u2019t already have.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Z8 example is the one he chose: BMW offered the Z8 as a manual only. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2024\/10\/17\/bmw-z8-alpina-roadster-v8\/\">Bovensiepen offered it as an automatic<\/a>, which was almost the philosophical opposite of what BMW was doing at the time. The old ALPINA was built on finding what fell through the cracks.<\/p>\n<p>The reason the family eventually sold is, per van Hooydonk, straightforward: modern cars have become too electronically complex to tune the way ALPINA was built to tune them. Changing a camshaft and carburetor is one thing. Software-controlled suspension and drivetrain systems require OEM resources. \u201cTheir business was founded on tuning engines in the times that you could do a different camshaft and different carburetors,\u201d he said. \u201cSo it was for them, I think, also a natural way of things to have this merge.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Based On The 8 Series Gran Coupe<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/vision-bmw-alpina-photos-08.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-513405\" title=\"VISION BMW ALPINA PHOTOS 08\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/vision-bmw-alpina-photos-08-830x553.jpg\" alt=\"VISION BMW ALPINA PHOTOS 08\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/vision-bmw-alpina-photos-08-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/vision-bmw-alpina-photos-08-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/vision-bmw-alpina-photos-08-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/vision-bmw-alpina-photos-08-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/vision-bmw-alpina-photos-08.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The vision car sits on a G16 8 Series Gran Coupe platform. That\u2019s why it has the wheelbase it does and why it seats four properly. Someone asked whether it was 7 Series \u2014 it\u2019s not \u2014 and then the obvious follow-up landed: the 8 Series has been discontinued, so what does the production version sit on? \u201cWe don\u2019t know,\u201d van Hooydonk said. \u201cThe 8 Series has run out. If we were to do it, we have to start from scratch and think hard.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2026\/05\/15\/bmw-confirms-alpina-7-series-2027\/\">first production ALPINAs will be 7 Series-based<\/a> and arrive next year. But the longer play \u2014 which van Hooydonk acknowledged and didn\u2019t close the door on \u2014 is whether ALPINA ever gets a platform of its own, not derived from a current BMW product. The vision car was deliberately built on something that doesn\u2019t exist in showrooms precisely to make that point. \u201cWe want to set the brand on its own course within the BMW Group,\u201d he said, \u201clike M, of course, is closely affiliated to BMW \u2014 but you know how much freedom they get inside our company.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>No Internal Resistance<\/h2>\n<p>One journalist pressed on whether there was resistance inside BMW to letting ALPINA stray too far from the BMW DNA. The answer was a flat no. \u201cBMW thought long and hard about acquiring ALPINA. We don\u2019t buy brands every day. ALPINA was always based on BMWs, first just as tuning kits, then as a company with manufacturer status and their own chassis numbers. Everybody is convinced that\u2019s how you have to treat it. You have to give it a certain autonomy to prosper.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The comparison to M isn\u2019t incidental \u2014 it\u2019s the operating model. M has a dedicated design team, its own suspension and drivetrain philosophy, and genuine internal independence. Van Hooydonk said ALPINA now has the same: its own dedicated design team working in parallel, not as a sub-department of BMW design.<\/p>\n<h2>V8, 300 km\/h<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Vision-BMW-ALPINA-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-513331\" title=\"VISION BMW ALPINA 1\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Vision-BMW-ALPINA-1-830x467.jpg\" alt=\"VISION BMW ALPINA 1\" width=\"830\" height=\"467\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Vision-BMW-ALPINA-1-830x467.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Vision-BMW-ALPINA-1-1820x1024.jpg 1820w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Vision-BMW-ALPINA-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Vision-BMW-ALPINA-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Vision-BMW-ALPINA-1-2048x1152.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>When someone pointed out that one thing the static concept couldn\u2019t convey was the exhaust note \u2014 ALPINAs have always sounded different from BMWs \u2014 van Hooydonk confirmed the car at the event is running a V8, and that V8s will be part of the ALPINA lineup. \u201cThe cars will be fast. ALPINAs have always been faster than BMWs. We\u2019re thinking 300 kilometers an hour, something like that.

BMW is starting the new chapter at the top of the range and moving down slowly, deliberately \u2014 and Van Hooydonk was direct about why. \u201cWhen you try to do a new chapter on an existing brand, you can\u2019t turn 10 pages at once. You have to take one by one. We\u2019re not going to flood the market with ALPINA offerings in all sizes and all segments.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The stated goal is natural demand: produce slightly fewer cars than the market wants, let scarcity do the positioning work, and build the customer base from the top down. The first priority was making sure existing customers weren\u2019t alienated \u2014 BMW has been running private dinners where they showed individual elements (a wheel, a color swatch, the new logo) without a car present, specifically to gauge and manage the reaction before anything went public.<\/p>\n<p>That concierge relationship is staying. BMW is also redesigning the retail environments \u2014 dedicated spaces inside dealerships where ALPINA customers can sit with materials, feel the upholstery options, and configure their car in person. Whether there will be a named bespoke program analogous to Mulliner at Bentley or BMW\u2019s own Individual designation is still undecided. The Comfort Plus drive mode, one of the old ALPINA exclusives, will remain ALPINA-exclusive.<\/p>\n<p>Traditional <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2026\/03\/07\/bmw-alpina-xb7-manufaktur-exclusive-photos\/\">ALPINA green and blue<\/a> are staying in development. If someone wants a period-correct color, they can have it exactly. New curated combinations will also be available for customers who want something that reads as Alpina but not necessarily vintage ALPINA. BMW is likely to release more information about the future of the ALPINA brand in the near future, especially as we get close to the first units rolling down the street.<\/p>\n<p><iframe type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"cmplazyload\" data-cmp-vendor=\"s30\" data-cmp-purpose=\"c52\" title=\"Vision BMW ALPINA 2026 World Premiere \u2014 The Concept That Changes Everything\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" data-cmp-type=\"text\/plain\" data-cmp-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uyLwzViChqg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen=\"\">[embedded content]<\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Article Summary BMW Group Chief Designer Adrian van Hooydonk confirmed ALPINA will have its own dedicated design team, V8 engines, and a top speed target of around 300 km\/h.
