Alpina B6 tagged posts

For people who is not satisfy with the 560hp BMW M6 Gran Coupe, the easiest way to boost output is to “chip” the ECU, since it is using a turbocharged V8 engine. However I personally do not recommend you to do this (I will explain the reason later in this article). Today Alpina (a Bavarian automobile manufacturer good at building cars based on BMW models) provides you a much better and cleaner solution: the 2016 B6 xDrive Gran Coupe.

You will get multiple benefits and save tons of time and hassles by purchasing the B6 Gran Coupe, for example you get:

1. Upgraded engine (still the BMW N63 4.4L V8, but with enhancements in air intake, fuel system etc...

It has been known to all for a while that BMW is going to sell the Alpina version of the 6 series Gran Coupe.

The key point is not only the Alpina car to be sold here in the US side. It sends us an important signal from BMW: the Bavarian auto maker finally feels necessary that it has a high performance version  AWD sedan in the market. Currenlty the BMW in-house performance branch “M”, is only providing rear-wheel-drive performance sedans and coupes.

Previously BMW never sold an Alpina version in US market, if there is already a M version being sold at the same time. For example we have BMW M3 here, so you will never see the Alpina B3 in the showroom...
