MANUFACTURER OF

EXCLUSIVE AUTOMOBILES

In 1981 ALPINA presented the BMW ALPINA B7S TURBO – a crowning achievement at the end of the BMW 5

Series E12 production run – limited to just 60 identical automobiles. A special feature of these exclusive saloons was

the unique ALPINA-blue metallic colour – especially designed for the B7S. ALPINA’s Corporate Identity Colours

were born

One of the secrets of ALPINA’s continuing success is not only the consistency with which we’ve lived our core values

over the last few decades, but that we continue to “show our true colours” in terms of our philosophy:

• Powerful, torque-laden engines

• Ease of operation, for example SWITCH-TRONIC

• Suspensions imbued with excellent handling, a neutral character at the limit, and good long-distance comfort

• Attractive, unobtrusive appearance, marked by classic wheels and functional aerodynamic components

• The finest craftsmanship, down to the last detail

New BMW ALPINA automobiles - such as our premieres here at the 2005 International Auto Show in Frankfurt, the

small, sporty diesel BMW ALPINA D3 and the luxurious performance cabriolet, the BMW ALPINA B6 - are the best

proof that we continue to implement this successful philosophy

The name ALPINA is closely linked to exclusive automobiles, excellent wines, and the gourmet’s lifestyle. In

order to meet the needs of even our most demanding customers, we offer for some models the opportunity to

shape the interior of your BMW ALPINA according to your own personal taste – so that it may be hand-crafted

by masters at our establishment

You are the composer and creative designer of your own BMW ALPINA. You decide on shape, colour, and

finishing of the smallest detail in your car, from a leather instrument panel, to an individual seat arrangement,

to a colour-matching floor mat. Colours are probably the most distinctive characteristic in your automobile. By

selecting your colours and colour combinations you may express your individuality. Apart from the exclusive

exterior paint ALPINA Blue, ALPINA offer all exterior and interior colours available at BMW. Even extravagant

wishes of colour can be realised, inasmuch as the required paint quality for an automobile in this class is

maintained

AUTOMATIC MODE

SWITCH-TRONIC MODE The drive programme is calibrated to make the most of the engine’s torque and power curves, and is designed to ease the driver’s burden, especially in city driving:

•

early or late up-shifts based on the gas pedal’s position

•

no ’running-up’ of revs due to an overly-stiff torque converter

•

no nervous up- and down-shifts

•

sporty driving even without using Kick-Down

•

optimal acceleration with uninterrupted power delivery

SWITCH-TRONIC provides the ability to choose one’s gear when

overtaking, or to profit from compression braking when descending

mountain passes:

•

manual gear changes using ergonomically-integrated shift buttons

on the back side of the steering wheel: up-shift on the right, down-

shift on the left – much as in Formula racing

•

self-induced up-shifts at the rev limiter, and independent down-

shifts when rolling to rest

•

over-revving of the engine impossible

•

for safety reasons, Kick-Down always has priority

ALPINA SWITCH-TRONIC affords one the ultimate in automatic

transmission driving, something our clients have enjoyed for years

and would no longer want to do without
