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.
