The Alpina B4 Gran Coupe Is Similar to a Luxurious BMW M4 with Additional Torque

The German tuner, which has been completely absorbed by BMW, has pushed the 4-series Gran Coupe's performance to M4 levels while maintaining an air of opulence.

  • The BMW Alpina B4 Gran Coupe produces 22 more horsepower and 59 more pound-feet of torque than the standard M4 Competition.
  • Alpina claims a 3.7-second sprint from zero to 62 mph and a top speed of 187 mph.
  • BMW would not confirm the B4 Gran Coupe's US availability.

BMW acquired full control of Alpina earlier this month, the German tuning company that specializes in fast and luxurious BMWs and has had a long-standing symbiotic relationship with BMW. Alpina has unveiled its latest BMW-based creation, the Alpina B4 Gran Coupe, which boosts the performance of the four-door 4-series to create something akin to an M4 Gran Coupe.

As with the M4, the all-wheel-drive B4 is powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six tuned to 495 horsepower by Alpina. This places it neatly between the 473-horsepower standard M4 and the 503-horsepower Competition model. However, the Alpina's 538 pound-feet of torque easily outperforms the Competition's 479 pound-feet. It is powered by a retuned version of the ZF eight-speed automatic transmission, and Alpina claims the B4 can accelerate to 62 mph in 3.7 seconds, three tenths slower than BMW's all-wheel-drive M4 Competition. The B4's top speed is claimed to be 187 mph.

Alpina's Sport Suspension features specially developed front anti-roll bars and unique spring and damper configurations that work together to create a composed ride at high speeds. Additionally, the B4 features an electronically controlled rear limited-slip differential and a unique Alpina exhaust system.

The B4 receives minor aerodynamic upgrades, including front and rear spoilers and a diffuser sandwiched between the four oval exhaust tips. Pirelli P Zero tires developed specifically for Alpina are wrapped around the classic 20-inch Alpina turbine wheels. Inside, supple Lavalina leather, a one-of-a-kind sports steering wheel, and an abundance of luxurious standard equipment, including a heated steering wheel and driver assistance features, await.

BMW declined to confirm or deny the B4 Gran Coupe's availability in the United States, but did tell Car and Driver that "there has been no announcement by BMW of a 4 Series-based ALPINA model for the United States." Deliveries will begin this summer in Europe, and the B4 will cost approximately $100,000.
