The BMW Alpina B5 GT is the company's newest, strictly-limited-production tuned BMW. The B5 GT has Alpina's most powerful engine, and it comes in sedan and wagon body styles.

BMW's twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 powers the modified B5 GT, which produces 634 horsepower and 626 pound-feet of torque. The engine software and boost pressure were updated, and a new air intake duck and silencer were installed by Alpina to improve airflow.

The engine's power is increased by 13 hp and 36 lb-ft compared to its factory settings. The modified 5 Series car has a peak speed of 205 mph and can reach 62 mph in less than 3.4 seconds. The station wagon can reach speeds of almost 200 miles per hour and finish the 0-62 mph sprint in less than 3.6 seconds.

Arctic Race Blue, Petrol Mica, Verde British Racing, Chalk, Imola Red, and Daytona Violet are just some of the six specialty colors the tuner will offer.
