The Alpina B7 Turbo Coupé/1, released in 1984, stands as a formidable contender for the title of the Best Grand Tourer of the 1980s. This rare and luxurious model is a testament to Alpina's expertise in enhancing BMW’s performance and aesthetics, creating a vehicle that combines exclusivity, speed, and comfort in one stunning package.
Alpina, known for its close association with BMW, took the already capable platform and elevated it to new heights. The heart of this transformation was the engine—a turbocharged 3.5-liter inline-six, which was a significant upgrade over the standard BMW offerings. This powerhouse delivered an impressive 330 horsepower.
Handling was another area where the Alpina B7 excelled. Equipped with a sophisticated suspension setup and enhanced braking systems, the car provided a driving experience that was both thrilling and secure, with sharp responses and stable cornering abilities that were unparalleled in many other grand tourers of the era.
Its rarity and distinctive Alpina touches not only made it a dream car for many during its time but also a valued classic for collectors today. This vehicle exemplifies the era's technological advancements and the enduring appeal of expertly crafted automobiles.

Mod RealSpecs v0.9
Starting from a BMW 635 Csi, I adjusted and create various exterior and interior 3D elements, to recreate the Alpina model of this fantastic grand tourer. As always, I went thru all the data sepcs to adjust all the physics to match as close as I could the real model. As for most of these rare models, its difficult to find information on many details, mostly when its about real test data, so that I could verify that its close on AC Sim. Anyhow at least a manage to find info about the best time Alpina B7 turbo Coupé/1 achieved at Linas-Montlhery, and I was happy to confirm that I manage a very close time on AC Sim.
All details about the specs, and the tested performance, in the model description.
Note that as for this model, there was a “Sports gearbox” configuration, available as an option, I did include both, the standard Getrag 265 and the “Sports gearbox”, so you can choose which one to use, at the starting of the session in the setup menu.
I think this version (0.9) as all the essentials to start use and enjoy this beautiful model in AC, but I intend to perfect it soon.
Enjoy!

Thanks! The gearbox ratios are according to the official data for this model. Please note that you can select the sports gearbox in the setup menu, also available at the time, which has shorter ratios!

really beautifull, and chromes seems perfect, but maybe the 4rd and 5th speeds are too much longer, shorter it can be better I think, thanks you very much for this beauty
