What is the Alpina B6?
The Alpina B6 is a petrol-powered performance model based on the BMW 6 Series. In the F12 generation, it came as a Coupé, Convertible or four-door Gran Coupé, giving the model a choice of a fixed roof, open-air driving or a more practical four-door layout.
Founded in 1965, Alpina developed BMW-based cars with its own engineering and design details. The B6 carried that approach into the grand touring class, pairing a large-capacity V8 with the 6 Series’ comfort-focused character.
