Now available for auction is this 2007 BMW E65 Alpina B7 finished Black Metallic over a Black leather interior with wood veneer. Built on the BMW assembly line in a joint effort with Alpina, the B7 is offered as a limited production, high-performance variation of the 7-Series luxury sedan. Representing one out of a reported 800 examples produced for North America, this 2007 B7 is equipped with a supercharged 4.4 L V8 engine mated to a 6-speed Shift-Tronic automatic transaxle. This B7 is now being offered by its seller out of California with approximately 30k miles displayed on the odometer.
Noted to have been garage-kept throughout its entire life, the Black Metallic finish on this E65 is said to be in outstanding condition with minimal signs of wear (detailed images are provided in the photo gallery). This B7 can be distinguished from a standard 7-Series by its slightly lengthened front and rear fascias, extended rear spoiler, Alpina badging and signature 20-spoke 21” wheels by BBS.
The driver is situated within a luxurious Black leather interior featuring wood veneer and suede headliner. Some noteworthy features include multi-adjustable heated and ventilated front seats and a specially upholstered steering wheel with Alpina-colored deviated stitching and thumb shifter buttons. All gauges and accessories are stated to be fully functional and the cabin is noted to be in excellent condition.
The B7 carries a specially tuned, supercharged version of the 4.4 L V8 engine found in the standard BMW 745i. 500 HP and over 500 lb.-ft of torque is distributed to the rear wheels through a 6-speed automatic Switch-Tronic transmission which offers 3 different shift modes. Weighing in at nearly 4700 lbs. while achieving a 0-60 time of approximately 4.4 seconds, the Alpina B7 was credited as the being most potent BMW model on offer in a Car and Driver article from 2007. Proper routine maintenance has been observed including a recent full service in 2020.
This sale will include a set of 3 keys, a trickle charger, service records and the original books. Do not miss out on your chance to own what was once the crown jewel of BMW’s lineup.

Does the I-Drive, Logic7(Sound system) work.
Can you send a Picture or recording with the speedometer and on board monitor when the engine is running.
Thank you
Hallo Mr Miller,
I think the car has never driven 30k. You have to look at the pictures 27,28,42, the soft lacquer and the leather look like after 100,000k. but it is my opinion.
Thank you very much
@VanosYo There have been no accidents and no repainting. The paint and panels are all original and are in excellent shape.
There are absolutely no rattles in the car and Supercharger is silent
There is no smoke on start up...engine fries up immediately when cold and can be driven immediately without any hesitation or smoke (except for some condensation)
The tires are basically new. I think they were installed very recently.
Have any panels been repainted?
Any rattles or concerns with the supercharger?
Any smoke on cold start? The N62 is notorious for valve seals.
How is the tire tread depth?
Thanks
@SMiller 21's confirmed
@useppaisland I think they are 21s...but not sure I would have to check..but they are big
@useppaisland The car has 30K miles..I cant answer your question. All I know is that it performs lie a new car, and the engine and chassis are dry as a bone..I have pics of the undercarriage but I cannot figure out how to upload more pics. If you want to give me your email I will send you the pics of the under carriage
What size are the rites on the front and the back ?
Did he drive it enough to keep the gaskets from drying up?
Low miles is not necessarily a great thing.
These vehicles were meant to be driven.
@SMiller It would be very difficult to find one of theses cars for sale with less than 100K miles. In fact most of them for sale have excess of 100K miles on them. Ones that are under 100K bring in excess of $20K .
@SMiller This is probably one of the most underrated cars in the market and with this car you get more bang for your buck than a Porsche 996 Twin Turbo. (which is pretty good bang for your buck)
All I can tell you is that this car is in extremely good shape. It was owned by a very meticulous person who has the where with all to keep it maintained and serviced on an above average scale. I firmly believe that a PPI would pretty much show that the car is in tip top shape. For a luxury sedan, I have taken it through the hills of Malibu and had no problem keeping up with Porsche GT3's and other cars that yo would expect to out perform this car. It has amazing power, unbelievable cornering, smooth PDK type shifting, doing all this in a cabin of luxury. It is a pretty amazing car..and good looking to boot.
I would not do thst.
I would like to do a PPI but I do not have enough time.
I am very interested in this B7
@useppaisland Cold enough to hang neat...but please don't ask me to send you a picture of the meat
Does the air conditioner blow cold?
@useppaisland it will probably be sold by then
@SMiller Hi ,
I am not located in southern CA.
I will be in Palm Springs November 18
@useppaisland If you are located in Southern Ca you can come and look at the car..
@useppaisland There are no fluid leaks
@useppaisland There has been only one previous owner.
Hi,
Pictures of
More detail of the vehicle inside and outside.
How many owners have there been since 2007?
What is the reserve on the vehicle?
Any leaks of any fluids?
Thank you
The undercarriage is extremely clean. Absolutely no oil leaks or real wear and tear.
I am not the owner. I m representing the owner. With regard to detailed picturs..what would you like to see?
Do you have more detailed pictures you can post?
Are you the only owner?
There is slight (very slight) road rash on the (3)wheels that probably can be easily polished out. There is a slight scratch on the lower front spoiler. Otherwise the paint seems to be free of any blemishes. No dings or impressions. The car is in very good mechanical condition with no problems. It runs excellent. It has been religiously serviced at SuperPerformance in West Los Angels.
Any mechanical issues? CEL’s?
It looks like all of the wheels have curb rash, what other types of flaws are in the paint? Swirls, door dings, scratches, etc?
