The new rendition of the BMW Alpina XB7, based on the BMW X7 and set for release in 2025, comes with a fresh Manufaktur appearance that introduces numerous unique enhancements to both its exterior and interior.
Externally, the large SUV boasts of 23-inch wheels as standard, showcasing Alpina’s characteristic multi-spoke design. These wheels are finished in a high-gloss, reflective surface which is then protected by a matte clear coat.
Customers also have the option to select between chrome and black bundles for the external features. These packages modify the color of elements such as the grille, exhaust outlets, badges, and window surroundings.
Regarding the interior, these bundles affect the color of the gear shift levers and the stitching on the steering wheel. All versions of the XB7 Manufaktur come with “XB7” embossed on the headrests, Manufaktur symbols on the floor mats, and numbered plates in the cabin and engine compartment.

The power plant is the 4.4-liter V-8 twin-turbocharged engine from BMW, which produces 612 hp in this model. This engine is paired with an 8-speed automatic gearbox and a standard all-wheel-drive system, propelling the SUV from 0-62 mph in 4.2 seconds and reaching a top speed of 180 mph.
Potential buyers need to make quick decisions as the XB7 Manufaktur, like all Alpinas currently, will have a very limited production run. Since its introduction for the 2021 model year, only 2,880 examples have been manufactured for global distribution.
The U.S. is one of the primary markets for the XB7, but the availability of the new Manufaktur version has not been disclosed in this region. Alpina has confirmed that deliveries in other markets are scheduled to commence in the initial quarter of the next year.
