5 reasons to buy the 2023 BMW Alpina B8

1. Thrilling acceleration and composed ride 

A turbocharged V8 engine exclusive to the 2023 BMW Alpina B8 and eight-speed automatic transmission snap you back into your seat with its snappy 3.3 seconds zero-to-60 time. But suspension that adapts to road conditions means the 2023 BMW Alpina B8 doesn’t have a ride that will leave you feeling beat up. Lastly, standard AWD intelligently sends power to the wheels with the most traction, so you get confident traction regardless of weather. 

2. A first-class interior experience 

The 2023 BMW Alpina B8’s attention to detail, high-end finishes, and pillow-like comfort welcomes you. For example, large doors open into supportive seats with multiple power adjustments, lumbar support, and soft headrests. Plus, the plush Merino leather seating surfaces rival the best home furnishings. Or enjoy a quiet ride at any speed without the interruption of outside noise, thanks to adaptive air and excellent sound insulation. Finally, the standard heated seats (front and rear), rear power sunshades, and other creature comforts turn any trip into a first-class experience. 

3. Futuristic digital cockpit 

Enter the modern world of technology with two 12.3-inch screens at the heart of the Alpine B8’s digital cockpit. First, one high-resolution screen displays instrumentation and information relevant to your current trip. Plus, adjust the dashboard based on your preferences, driving mode, and current features. Then, a massive 12.3-inch touchscreen at center stage displays the infotainment functions. You pick how you interact with the infotainment system using touch, gesture, or traditional physical controls. 

4. Brimming with high-end standard features 

Very few features don’t make the standard list in a 2023 BMW Alpina B8. For example, comfort features include soft-close doors, a panoramic sunroof, an Alcantara suede headliner, and glass interior control surfaces. Plus, enjoy wireless charging, Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ smartphone integration, a heads-up display, and a 16-speaker Harmon Kardon® audio system that highlights standard technology features. Finally, a suite of basic driver assists take some of the strain out of highway driving. 

5. Advanced driver assists 

Do you want to enjoy hands-free driving? Then look for a 2023 BMW Alpina B8 equipped with a Driving Assistance Professional package capable of hands-free driving below 40 mph. Plus, you get upgraded adaptive cruise control with automated lane change assistance, evasion steering assistance, and an automatic parking system. As a final extra, enjoy a comprehensive surround-view camera system with a top-down view of the 2023 BMW Alpina B8.
