BMW has unveiled a special Manufaktur edition of the Alpina XB7 to celebrate the end of its production run. This exclusive version marks the final chapter for the Alpina-tuned X7-based SUV. With just 120 units planned, the model is designed for collectors and luxury SUV enthusiasts.
BMW Alpina XB7: Limited Production & Exclusive Availability
BMW will produce only 120 units of the Alpina XB7 Manufaktur. All models are allocated exclusively for buyers in the United States and Canada. Each vehicle comes fully equipped with identical specifications, making color choice the only customization option for buyers.
Unique Exterior Design Details
The Manufaktur edition offers two matte finishes: Frozen Alpina Green and Frozen Alpina Blue. Unlike standard models, exterior chrome elements are replaced with blacked-out trim. A signature black Alpina pinstripe runs along the body. Special Manufaktur badging and laser-etched details further highlight its exclusivity.
Premium Interior & Luxury Features
The cabin features high-end materials throughout. Tartufo Merino leather in Walnut Nature Black covers the seats, dashboard, and door panels. Headrests include Alpina embroidery, while a “1 of 120” plaque is placed on the center console. Rear captain’s chairs and a Bowers & Wilkins Diamond surround sound system come standard.
Added Lifestyle Accessories
BMW includes exclusive accessories with the Manufaktur edition. Buyers receive a pair of Alpina-branded leather weekender bags stored in the luggage compartment. These additions enhance the luxury experience and reinforce the model’s premium positioning.
Powertrain & Performance
The Alpina XB7 Manufaktur is powered by a 4.4 L twin-turbocharged V8 engine producing 631 HP. The SUV can accelerate from 0 to 97 KM/H in approximately 3.9 seconds. Previous testing suggests real-world performance could be even quicker under ideal conditions.
Advanced Suspension & Handling
The SUV features an advanced air suspension system as standard. It can lower the ride height by 1.6 inches to improve stability and handling. Rear-axle steering is also included, allowing the rear wheels to turn up to 2.3 degrees. This improves maneuverability at low speeds and stability at high speeds.
Prices In The Middle East
The Alpina XB7 Manufaktur is priced at $181,550, which is approximately 667,000 AED. While officially limited to North America, imported units in the Middle East could command even higher prices due to exclusivity and demand.
BMW Alpina XB7: Production Timeline
Production of the Alpina XB7 Manufaktur will begin in September 2026 at BMW’s Spartanburg facility in the United States. With such a limited production run, all units are expected to be sold out quickly.
BMW Alpina XB7: Conclusion
The Alpina XB7 Manufaktur serves as a fitting farewell to one of BMW’s most luxurious performance SUVs. Combining powerful performance, handcrafted luxury, and extreme exclusivity, the final edition highlights everything that made the Alpina brand special.
