Alpina has given the new BMW 4 series Gran Coupe its classic suite of upgrades, matching, and in some cases beating figures from an M4 Competition -
Despite a relatively high 1965kg weight figure, its impressive figures don’t stop there, with BMW’s rear-biased xDrive all-wheel drive system helping it sprint from standstill to 62mph in an M4 Competition xDrive-matching 3.7sec and onto a 187mph top speed – the latter is 7mph higher than an M4 when equipped with the optional speed limiter lift.
To handle such an increase in torque, Alpina has bolstered the standard 8-speed ZF transmission with an uprated torque converter and wheel set – software tweaks are also said to have refined the experience with increased power levels. Alpina has also added a new front anti-roll bar alongside bespoke spring and damper configurations, as well as increased negative camber on the front axle all in the name of improving steering accuracy and precision.Alpina’s design modifications are typically understated with the new 20-inch, 20-spoke forged wheels joining the usual combination of subtly modified front splitter, rear lip spoiler and rear exhaust shroud. What’s certainly still there is the 4 series’s controversial grille.
Inside, optional Lavalina leather can be found on the seats and steering wheel, with aluminium trim, contrast stitching and a numbered production plaque all featuring. Standard kit is strong too, with a number of packages such as Parking and Driving Assistant, Speed Limit Assist, Cross Traffic Alert and Lane Change Warning included free of charge.
