Alpina B5 Specs, Engines & Dimensions (2005–2007) — First Generation
The first-generation Alpina B5 takes an executive saloon and rebuilds it for effortless speed, offered as a Sedan or a practical Estate 5-door that carries family luggage without giving up long-distance pace.
The Alpina B5 engine in selected examples is a supercharged 4.4 gasoline V8, paired with an automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive in both the Sedan and the Estate 5-door. This powertrain favours strong, quiet mid-range pull over high-revving drama, so overtaking and motorway cruising feel relaxed.
