2022 Alpina XB7 Exterior
We'll let you decide whether the X7 is a handsome vehicle or not, and as far as the XB7 goes, it gets 23-inch classic Alpina alloy wheels, while 21-inch wheels are optional. The new Alpina XB7 has a unique front fascia with an illuminated kidney grille. The rear view is slightly more aggressive than that of the X7 M60i, with a unique back end that features unique quad exhaust tips. This is usually an M design characteristic, but BMW probably let it slide because it's a subtle performance hint and not outrageously OTT. The aerodynamics have been specially considered by Alpina, so the big brute gets a purposefully designed front spoiler, rear apron, and diffuser. The XB7 also gets a standard three-part panoramic glass moonroof, and LED headlights and fog lights showing off the new split-headlight design. Overall, Alpina adds to the appeal of the X7, but it's a bit like painting an elephant gold. It's still an X7 underneath, which is not an easy thing to hide.

Dimensions
Alpina's XB7 is a big lump of a car, and the slab-sided styling doesn't do it any favors. The overall length is 203.9 inches. The width, including the side mirrors, is 87.3 inches, and it's 70.7 inches tall. Alpina lowered the XB7 to improve the center of gravity, but the ground clearance remains useful at 8.4 inches. The 122.2-inch wheelbase also means a lot of space inside, though the third row's placement above the rear wheels is worrying from a comfort point of view. The XB7's sheer size is reflected in the curb weight of 5,986 pounds.

Exterior Colors
The exterior paint palette for the BMW Alpina XB7 takes itself rather seriously, with somber, sophisticated colors available. Some of these are shared between the standard X7 and the XB7. No-cost options include Alpine White, Black Sapphire, Carbon Black, Mineral White, Marina Bay Blue, Skyscraper Grey, Alpina Blue, and Manhattan Green. The more exclusive colors cost $1,950, but you may have to wait up to ten weeks before taking delivery if you select these. Options include Tanzanite Blue II, Ametrin, and Dravit Grey. The latter is a lovely metallic green-grey, which is traditionally the best color option on Alpina-branded cars.
