BMW – Alpina: See it on our 2026 Concept Lawn

August 15, 2026

SPEED, REFINED
The Vision BMW ALPINA

The Alpina story began in 1965 in Buchloe, Germany, a small Bavarian town located in the shadow of the Alps. The founder, Burkard Bovensiepen, originally destined for a career in typewriter manufacturing, chose instead to follow his passion for high-performance tuning, founding Alpina and focusing on refining BMW road and racing cars. From the outset, his philosophy was clear: speed and comfort were not competing ambitions, but complementary ones.

The Vision BMW ALPINA is a one-of-one design study that interprets these values for a new age. Signalling a new chapter for the brand, now under the custodianship of the BMW Group.

At 5,200 mm in length, its presence is substantial: wide, low and composed. The coupé roofline is long and elegantly raked, expressing both speed and the capacity to accommodate four adults in genuine comfort.

Subtle secondary details reward closer attention without demanding it. This “Second Read” principle runs throughout the Vision BMW ALPINA. Deco-lines, part of Alpina’s language since 1974, are distilled and painted on the side of the body beneath the clear coat – a quiet gesture that reflects how defining elements evolve for the future. Inward-facing surfaces are treated with particular care, finished in a dark metallic tone that reveals itself on closer inspection.

The Vision BMW ALPINA demonstrates how the BMW Group is committed to preserving and elevating the brand, ensuring that the 60-year story continues with contemporary purpose, refined aesthetics and advanced technology.
