The BMW Group took practically everybody without warning in early 2022 when it acquired ALPINA. Munich didn’t purchase the family-owned firm itself, however fairly the model title. The intent? To make use of the fabled moniker on future high-end fashions. The main target will doubtless be on the most important automobiles. Suppose 7 Sequence and X7, positioned to bridge the hole under Rolls-Royce.
A little bit over a yr in the past, Maximilian Missoni was appointed design boss at ALPINA. He additionally oversees higher mid-size and luxury-class BMW fashions. Forward of ALPINA’s relaunch subsequent yr, the previous Head of Design at Polestar spoke with Autocar about what lies forward. Don’t anticipate a Chris Bangle-like shake-up.

Rumor has it BMW is assigning the brand new ALPINA fashions separate codenames, hinting at deeper differentiation from their donor automobiles. Regardless of the case, Missoni is obsessed with what’s coming: “I’m assured we’ll have thrilling issues to indicate.” The primary ALPINA mannequin beneath BMW possession is believed to be based mostly on the 7 Sequence. Internally often called the “G72” fairly than the “G70,” it’s anticipated to return in a couple of taste. As a substitute of a single B7 variant as earlier than, the revived ALPINA 7 Sequence will reportedly embrace 740 xDrive, 760 xDrive, and even a totally electrical i7 70 xDrive.
In 2027, the second-generation X7 will debut because the “G67” for BMW and because the “G69” for ALPINA. The latter may very well be provided in 40 xDrive, 60 xDrive, and iX7 100 xDrive variants.
Nonetheless, the designs for the ALPINA-badged 7 Sequence and X7 have already been finalized, that means the total impact of Missoni’s affect received’t be seen till the tip of the last decade. BMW Group’s Head of Design, Adrian van Hooydonk, informed Bmwblog that “the following merchandise influenced by Max will come after 2029.” Round that point, we’ll additionally see the primary fashions formed from the very begin by Oliver Heilmer, the previous Head of MINI Design, who’s now accountable for compact and midsize BMWs in addition to M automobiles.
Within the meantime, Missoni says we will anticipate “a pleasant, holistic launch quickly” for the ALPINA model in its new BMW Group period. The present settlement between the 2 firms ends on December 31, 2025, so the primary concrete particulars are anticipated in early 2026.
