Next Gen G31 Alpina B5 Touring First Sighting

COMMENTS

Alpina has started testing a prototype of the next generation 5 Series Touring. These are the first spy shots of the new Alpina B5 Touring which was caught testing near the Nürburgring. The pictures reveal the typical Alpina design with a new front bumper, a lower front splitter, typical Alpina wheels and split quad exhausts. The new Alpina B5 Touring will be the fastest version of the next 5 Series Touring, as the M5 is once again expected in sedan form only.

No roof rails???? Looks like a saloon from the front, much like the F11 which lost most of its saloon/Touring stand out appearance from the e60/61 variant.

Do not understand the German logic in that at all.

I drive an F11, but yearn for the 61 days......

Rails are an option probably.

Looks like an improvement on the adaptive LEDs, the light looks narrowed, rather then the heavy bounce of the current version which fills most of the upward half of the corona.

First versions are always gonna be markedly improved with the subsequent v2 model.

Just a pity the roof rails don't seem to be...

In Germany we don't intend to put roof rails on especially when we have no plans to carry anything on the roof anyway.

Please, T-TIP, save our souls from going to the dark pits filled with BMW SUVs!

I'm going to put a little photo of Mrs. Clinton somewhere in a corner and pray every night in the hope that her talk about trade agreements is just something she needed to say because of Bernie.

I think those front wheels are just part of the camo, you can see the only Alpina wheel in existence on the rear.

Actually, they once had a different type of wheels but nobody wanted them; the Alpina Dynamic wheels, originally designed for the X5 because Burkard Bovensiepen didn't want the 'real' Alpina wheels on a SUV.

By the way, why would you need or want roof rails? What would you want to carry on your roof?
