740i M Sport looks very good, but does it still have its delivery bump stops in the suspension?? Riding a bit high.

bavarian19 · 11-19-2010, 08:22 AM

interior shots of the B7?

Vertigo//SD · 11-19-2010, 09:05 AM

I know it's all subjective but... am I the only one that finds Alpina versions ugly? ///M looks ten times better.

nick3753 · 11-19-2010, 09:43 AM

They couldn't find one without a license plate brackett for an autoshow??

positiveions · 11-19-2010, 10:26 AM

best looking rear end on the B7 Alpina

Imola.ZHP · 11-19-2010, 11:15 AM

I have a great respect for all that Alpina does engineering wise, but I think the more "simple" 740i m-sport wins as far as looks goes...

Seems like a heavy car for just 315 horsepower though (740i), hope thats under-rated by at least 50hp.

Very sloppy on BMW's behalf. I'm sure it would only take a couple on minutes to remove.

IMO ZMP is much nicer looking than the B7

djp714 · 11-19-2010, 02:29 PM

Why is the 740i rear bumper section near the mufflers black and not the same color as the rest of the bumper? I see some cars out there color coded and some in black like the picture above. Is that part of the M package? Thanks.

You will "Never Stand Still" because at $122,000 you will be working your ass off to pay for it.

It would leave the wholes from self-taping screws in the bumper! :-)

SAMLAMBO · 11-20-2010, 06:28 AM

Alpine B7 looks so hot especially the rear, however I like the front M kit. Thanks for posting.

theaxplayer · 04-20-2011, 02:36 PM

The 740i with the M sport package, seems to be riding a bit high to be a sport model.

Look at the wheel to fender space, on the 740i compared to the 5 series next to it (which is not a sport model) or the Grand Coupe concept behind it.
