BMW will relaunch its recently purchased Alpina brand with upmarket designs that will sit between BMW’s high-performance M vehicles and Rolls-Royce, with Bentley and Mercedes’ upmarket Maybach models clearly in its sights.
Alpina was founded by Burkard Bovensiepen in 1965, with the company evolving from being a specialist independent BMW tuner to a low-volume manufacturer. BMW acquired the brand in 2022, completing the integration earlier this year as BMW Alpina within its luxury lineup. A new Alpina badge was revealed last month, but no plans on upcoming models had been revealed until now.
