The BMW ALPINA B6 xDrive Gran Coupe BMW CCA
Edition – One Of A Kind.
Introduced in
2014 when collaboration between BMW and ALPINA, the four-door Coupé with xDrive
BMW states has been widely
recognized for its aesthetic beauty, epic driving performance and balanced
handling. We agree that even back then BMW and ALPINA manufactured world class
cars.
Powered by a
bespoke 4.4 liter V8 Twin-Turbo engine which delivers 600 bHP at 6000 rpm and a
maximum torque of 590 lb-ft at only 3500 rpm, the BMW ALPINA B6 xDrive Gran
Coupe offers supercar like performance. Accelerating from 0 to 60 mph takes
just 3.6 seconds and a top speed of 198 mph can be reached.
The sleek
silhouette of the four-door body shape is both sophisticated and sportive,
unique exterior ALPINA design elements set distinguishing accents, such as
iconic ALPINA CLASSIC wheels, and provide aerodynamic functionality – all in
one stylish and elegant package.
The unique
blend of jaw dropping performance, bespoke luxury and sublime comfort means the
BMW ALPINA B6 xDrive Gran Coupe has become the choice of automotive
connoisseurs who are attracted to its unique pedigree.
Together with
BMW Car Club of America and BMW North America, ALPINA has decided to celebrate
this success by creating truly one of a kind – the BMW ALPINA B6 xDrive Gran
Coupe BMW CCA Edition.
Finished by
master craftsmen at the ALPINA manufactory in Bavaria, this BMW ALPINA B6
xDrive Gran Coupe exhibits bespoke features which highlight its performance
luxury character and the ALPINA ethos.

ALPINA Piano
Black trim features a special BMW CCA Edition silver inscription on the center
console, which has been painstakingly handmade in a one-off production with a
high-gloss lacquer finish.
The hand-finished
ALPINA LAVALINA steering wheel features white bespoke stitching, which along
with the floor and trunk mats with bespoke white piping, match the Merino Opal
White Full Merino Leather interior. The headrests are subtly embossed with the
ALPINA logo.
Besides the
customary interior ALPINA production plaque with BMW CCA Edition 01/01
inscription, a truly unique production plaque can be found in the engine bay.
This features the signatures of the Burkard, Andreas and Florian Bovensiepen –
the father and son team behind the ALPINA family business.
The BMW ALPINA
B6 xDrive Gran Coupe BMW CCA Edition’s titanium exhaust system is a technical
masterpiece. Engineered as a complete one-piece exhaust system stretching over
a length of approximately 12 ft from the downpipes to the rear tailpipes, it is
made entirely of titanium and saves over 15 lbs of weight. The two twin
tailpipes are finished with a carbon fiber trim.

ALPINA and BMW.
Since 1965,
ALPINA Burkard Bovensiepen GmbH + Co. KG, a family-owned business, has been
producing exclusive automobiles based on BMW models and maintains a close and
trusting partnership with BMW AG.
In 1983,
ALPINA was accredited as an automotive manufacturer by the German Federal Motor
Transport Authority (“Bundeskraftfahrtamt”). The combination of sophisticated
and powerful drivetrains, dynamic handling, excellent long-distance comfort and
best in class fuel efficiency is the hallmark of automobiles made by ALPINA.
Each BMW ALPINA automobile is manufactured in collaboration with BMW production
facilities where components engineered and supplied by ALPINA are installed -
this ensures that the highest possible quality standards are achieved. Further
manufacturing steps, the final assembly, test drive and pre-delivery check of
every automobile take place at the company’s headquarters in the southern
German region of Allgäu. Approximately thirty percent of today’s 250 employees
work in research and development. At their disposal is a state-of-the-art
engineering and development centre which offers the latest high-tech engine
testing and diagnostic equipment. The demand for exclusive, personalized
