Spotted New 7 Series w/ Partial Camo w/ Pics

Hello Everyone,

Was driving down Santa Monica Blvd. towards the freeway this morning on my commute. Saw the rear end of a very aggressive looking 7 series with some partial camo, with special plates (being closely followed by a debugged new 6 series convertible trying to block my view w/ the same type of plates).

My guess is it's the upcoming model refresh Alpina or M edition.

Did my best on the photos as we were all in motion. See below

Thanks,

Joe

That's an Alpina B7 -- nice!!!

I can't tell if the headlights are standard or the full LED, although they don't appear to have the shape of the other full LEDs - the full LEDs on the 3-series, 6-series, and 2013 X6 look "squared off" on the top and bottom edges, as opposed to being circular, whereas these look bright white/blue but are not squared off, or at least appear quite circular to me in the photos.

Maybe they are the bi-xenon lights. I have no idea really

Still - nice!!!

It's definitely an Alpina B7. It also looks like a 2012 to me if you compare the headlights with a stock 2012 B7 images:



There's some masking on the headlamps themselves that gives them a slightly different look, but the shape seems to be 2012.

Very strange. Not sure why they camo'ed the front spoiler unless that's a new piece and they are testing it on a 2012.
