5 reasons to buy the 2019 BMW Alpina B6

1. Up your luxurious experience 

One thing the 2019 BMW Alpina B6 doesn't lack is luxury. For example, there’s incredible attention to detail in the soft, smooth leather seats surrounded by polished metal accents and faux suede headliner trim. Plus, available natural wood trim elevates the interior, giving it a warm and welcoming feel. Finally, the available Nappa Leather seats and color-matched headliner elevate the high-end interior further. 

2. Long drives don’t have to be uncomfortable 

Take the edge off the uncomfortable stiffness from a long drive. Stay comfortable in the well-padded and supportive seats of a 2019 BMW Alpina B6, which provides excellent cushioning. Plus, the power adjustability and lumbar settings help position the seat to fit every driver, while memory settings automatically reset the seat to your preference. Enjoy the standard heated front seats, or look for a 2019 BMW Alpina B6 Executive Package to add ventilated seats, a power rear sunshade, a massage function, and a heated steering wheel for an upgraded comfort experience. 

3. Thrilling performance on demand 

Whether high-performance or calm and refined, the 2019 BMW Alpine B6 matches whatever driving mood strikes you. The adaptive suspension and standard AWD keep the wheels planted and power flowing to optimize traction. Plus, the 591-hp turbocharged V8 engine and eight-speed automatic transmission pair well together, with snappy responsiveness under hard throttle and composed performance around town. That’s why the 2019 BMW Alpina B6 stays composed in hard corners, giving you more confident handling behind the wheel. 

4. Well-equipped from the start 

With only one trim option available, the 2019 BMW Alpina B6 was only available with a few available option packages. However, that doesn’t mean you’ll miss out on your must-have features. Every 2019 BMW Alpina B6 includes features like adaptive suspension, four-zone automatic climate control, Bluetooth® connectivity, navigation, and a 16-speaker Harmon Kardon® sound system. Keep your smartphone charged with wireless charging. To sum up, there’s no shortage of in-demand features in the base-model 2019 BMW Alpina B6. 

5. Useful driver assists 

Driver assists are a great tool to supplement the monotony of highway driving. So, look for a 2019 BMW Alpina B6 equipped with the Driver Assistance and Driver Assistance Plus packages, adding technology to make commuting less stressful. For example, the Driver Assistance Plus package adds adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go capability. Lastly, the Driver Assistance package adds a heads-up display, blind spot monitoring, forward collision warning, and lane departure warning.
