Engine\/Gearbox<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

The engine is based on BMW\u00b4s 3,5 litre unit, which in standard version produces 218 bhp. Alpina have made many changes to the engine such as a reprogrammed Motronic system, a modified cylinder-head, lighter mahle-pistons, a new camshaft, a special exhaust manifold and of course a KKK K27 turbocharger. The engine has higher compression than the old B7 Turbo so Alpina have decreased the turbo boost to 0,7 bar, because they didn\u00b4t want the B7 to have more than 300 bhp. That\u00b4s exactly what it has, 300 bhp and a torque of 501 Nm. The catalyst-version had 320 bhp and a torque of 509 Nm. The gearbox is a five-speed from Getrag.<\/p>\n

Suspension\/Brakes\/Wheels<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

The B7 Turbo has the excellent Alpina-Bilstein suspension with progressive springs and gas-pressure dampers. The brakes are more powerful thanks to Girling discs all-around, ventilated at front. The wheels are 16in high with 205\/55 tires at front and 225\/50 tires at rear. <\/p>\n

Interior\/Exterior<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

The B7 has all the usual Alpina interior changes such as Recaro seats with Alpina upholstery, leather steering-wheel, gear knob, new instruments and so on. The visual changes include a deep front spoiler, rear spoiler and the wheels.<\/p>\n

Performance<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

Depending on what year the car is manufactured Alpina have claimed different 0-100 km\/h times. When Auto Motor und Sport tested the B7 Turbo Kat it accelerated from 0-100 km\/h in 6,1 seconds, 0-160 km\/h in 12,8 seconds and had a top speed of 265 km\/h. But when the Swedish magazine Teknikens V\u00e4rld tested the B7 Turbo it accelerated from 0-100 km\/h in an amazing 4,8 seconds, 0-200 km\/h in around 17 seconds and had a top speed of 270 km\/h.<\/p>\n

Production<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

The production ended in July 1987 and a total of 236 cars were built. In August 1986 Alpina introduced the B7 Turbo Kat which went out of production in December 1987. Only 42 B7 with catalyst were made.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
