Subtle interior

embellishments let

you know this isn’t

an ordinary 5 Series

G ently cruising away from Alpina GB’s

comfortable – but they also have adjustable side

bolsters to keep you in place when you do have a

chance to put the hammer down. The Lavalina leather

Alpina-logoed steering wheel is lovely to hold and has

additional white stitching on this car which along with

the floor mats that are trimmed in white leather help

to draw the exterior colour into the interior.

Of course this being an Alpina there are a myriad of

additional interior options for your leather with Alpina’s

craftsmen able to do just about anything you want,

and of course there’s the full gamut of the BMW

optional equipment list to choose from, too. On the

back of the wheel at three and nine o’clock are the all-

important buttons for the Switch-Tronic gearbox mode

and up ahead of the wheel are the trademark Alpina

blue dials with a speedo that tantalisingly reads to

200mph and a rev counter that’s redlined at

6600rpm. Optional Piano black trim adorns the

interior and personally I do prefer it to the traditional

Alpina wood. Completing the interior are discrete

Alpina rhombs on the seat backs plus the all-

important production plaque that announces that this

is indeed car number 001.

So it’s a nice interior, but let’s face it that’s not the

reason you’re going to buy a B5 is it? No, thought not.

Our arrival at the beginning of the A50 coincides with

snapper Smith asking from the passenger seat “what’ll

she do mister”? Practical demonstrations speak so

much louder than words so I slip the gear lever over

to the left, select the Sport setting with the switch next

to the gear lever, scan up ahead and behind for traffic

and the boys in blue and put the hammer down.

So many things happen almost instantaneously that

it’s hard to keep track of what’s going on. The eight-

speed auto shuffles its ratios imperceptibly in a matter

of milliseconds, the discrete V8 murmur increases its

decibel level and as the rear squats down the scenery

erupts into a blur while all the time it feels like the

Nottingham HQ, I can’t help but wonder

whether someone’s playing a very

elaborate practical joke on me. The B5

Bi-Turbo is just so refined, so cosseting

and so smooth that it seems hard to believe that this

car is capable of tearing up the tarmac alongside most

modern supercars. There’s an effortless quality to the

car and its sharp new suit effectively disguises the

muscles hidden within.

I’ve only been behind the wheel for a few minutes

and I’ve already gelled with the B5. I feel as if I could

quite happily crush a continent in an afternoon. The

standard F10’s cockpit is a very pleasant place to

spend wheel time and while Alpina hasn’t gone mad

with the spec of this, its first car off-the-line, there are

still plenty of Alpina embellishments to let you know

that this isn’t your run-of-the-mill 520d. The standard

fit Comfort seats are just that – supremely

BMW ALPINA B5 BI-TURBO

Comfort seats are trying to swallow you. Each upshift is

accompanied by a mini sonic boom from the exhaust

and in matter of seconds the speedo’s delicate red

needle is arcing round towards the section that

should really be marked ‘prison stretch’ rather than

with three digit numbers. Time to back off then.

Alpina claims a 0-62mph time of 4.7 seconds and

a top speed of 191mph for the B5 Bi-Turbo but as is

generally the case with Buchloe’s finest, these figures

seem to be wildly conservative. Relentless seems to

be one of the best words to describe the B5’s

accelerative urge… it feels unburstable, reeling in the

horizon no matter what speed you’re going at. Its

weight counts against it getting away from the line but

once you’re on the move the 4.4-litre V8 takes a

deep breath, fills its lungs with fuel and is force-fed

oxygen with such ferocity that your brain simply

struggles to keep up. Quick just doesn’t cover it, or

even come remotely close as the B5 on a charge

accelerates with the sort of savage ferocity that you’d

generally only experience on a race track.

The motive power for this supercar masquerading

as a four-door saloon is the same twin-turbo 4395cc

90-degree V8 that we first sampled in the B7 Bi-

Turbo last year and while it’s based on the unit found

in the 550i/750i, Alpina has carried out its usual

comprehensive makeover rather than just upping the

turbo boost and hoping for the best. The head and

block are more or less the same as the ones BMW

use, but hidden inside are a set of Mahle pistons

produced to Alpina’s specification. The pair of

turbochargers that nestle in between the cylinder

banks are also new and have been developed in

conjunction with Honeywell-Garrett and have 44mm

vanes to provide additional boost.

Cooling is always an issue on these engines and as

a result Alpina has installed three bespoke Behr

Thoroughly reworked

BMW V8 now good for

over 500hp and has enough

torque to move mountains
