My Alpina B7

I picked up a B7. Loving it so far. It feels like driving a tank that also likes to go very swiftly and around corners haha.

Here are some pics:

Yes it is. I lower all my cars so instantly loved the stance when I saw it!

How did you lower? Springs for front and links for the rear? Can you share the setup, I'd love to eventually lower mine when I get bored with with it. Lower and wheels and that will buy me another year of loving the car again LOL.

Your ride is sick, very sweet.

Thanks guys. Will add 20mm spacer on the front and 15m on rear to further enhance the stance.

You want a wider stance in rear for better cornering. You will feel understeer all the time at medium speeds. Forget high-speeds. Even the new 760Li has problems on the track but I assume it's due to the lack of stagger in the rear. I really think they should of made the 7-series more oversteer happy but perhaps on the Nurburgring they found out it becomes very dangerous and unstable with DSC OFF but the understeer is INSANE at stock compared to my 545i with HR sway bars on the tighest setting and some wheel spacers. Did have an oversteer situation underpower with DSC OFF in the wet turning 90 degree at a stop light but it was due to me putting too much power. Like that Lamborghini video but this is what you want. Understeer sucks bad because you find out you can't turn anymore (more steering input feels like you are driving on ice) and you are going slow. :(

Yes I've seen that clip. Fortunately I know how to drive my Lambo ;-).

Btw, I ended up going with 15mm rear spacers and 20mm front ones! Should look great!

Recently saw my first B7 in person. Identical to yours. Always been my dream car (online), now I have to have one. I had to look like a total knob standing there in the parking lot while he cruised by...my jaw physically opened. lol.
Pictures do not do it justice. Period.

Stupid photobucket and their 3rd party hosting change, not to mention RIDDLED with ads now. I deleted my account....

Gorgeous car!

Any chance you can repost the pictures since the links no longer work? Photobucket sucks now. I too deleted my account. They became terrible.
