The story of the ALPINA XB7 is nearing its end: BMW has prepared a final MANUFAKTUR series of just 120 vehicles for the US and Canada. According to the March announcement, production at the Spartanburg plant was planned to begin in September 2026, with the first customer deliveries scheduled for the fourth quarter. The US price is $180,000 plus a $1,550 destination and handling charge.

The allocation will not be split evenly: the official Canadian release states that Canada will receive only 12 of the 120 vehicles. Buyers are offered two matte colors that were previously unavailable on the XB7 — Frozen ALPINA Green and Frozen ALPINA Blue. Standard equipment includes black 23-inch forged ALPINA Classic wheels, special badging, a “1 of 120” plaque and two handcrafted travel bags made from Lavalina leather.

The farewell edition keeps the same mechanical package. Its 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 produces 631 hp (640 PS) in US specification and 590 lb-ft of torque (800 Nm). It accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 3.9 seconds. The engine is paired with an eight-speed ALPINA Switch-Tronic transmission and an integrated 48-volt starter-generator.

The end of the XB7 coincides with a much bigger change for the brand itself. The rights to ALPINA transferred to BMW Group on January 1, 2026. BMW also explains that the former Alpina Burkard Bovensiepen company ended production and sales at the end of 2025, with an exception for the XB7 in the US during 2026. The new BMW ALPINA is now being developed as a standalone exclusive brand within the BMW Group portfolio.

There is another notable update: the March press release described the special edition as a 2026 model, while BMW’s current US website now lists it as the 2027 BMW ALPINA XB7 MANUFAKTUR. The key point remains unchanged — these 120 vehicles bring XB7 production to a close, ending the model’s story in its current form.
