In April last year, BMW made it perfectly clear it has no intentions to bring an M version of the 4 Series Gran Coupe to the market. Alpina, a brand that is now owned by the Bavarian automaker, however, decided the stylish four-door coupe deserves a speedy version and is now ready to unveil the 2023 B4 Gran Coupe in its full glory. Spied a number of times by our photographers during the development phase, the performance vehicle now reveals itself to the world.
In terms of its appearance, probably the biggest news here is the new set of 20-inch wheels. The so-called Alpina Classic set is a modern interpretation of Alpina’s signature 20-spoke wheel design that is now synonymous with the brand. Each wheel weighs just 26.5 pounds (12 kilograms), which reduces the rotational mass for better ride quality. Other smaller visual tweaks, including a front spoiler and a rear spoiler, seem to fit the stylish four-door coupe perfectly.
