2022 BMW Alpina B8 Review: The B Stands for “Best”
“Why do you go all over the place?”
It’s the (translated) question many with Italian heritage are familiar with (and I’m sure we’re not alone). Why go to restaurants when you can eat at home?
The answer isn’t one of disrespect, or laziness. It’s about acknowledging the expertise of others. I could buy the nicest cut of Wagyu I can find, but my condo kitchen range isn’t going to do it any justice. I’ll defer to the pros, thanks.
Representing that gently-massaged culinary delicacy is this, the 2022 Alpina B8. A grand tourer sitting at the top of the 8 Series lineup, this ultra-rare four-door sure is pricey, too. It offers an experience all its own though, marrying effortless performance with a pampering, hand-finished interior for a masterclass in what a grand tourer should be.
