Alpina is sending off the current BMW 5 Series with a hotter version of its twin-turbo V8 B5 with more power and torque, but it's not coming here.

Alpina B5
The Alpina B5 is no longer on sale as a new car in Australia, but it remains one of Alpina's great modern grand tourers. Based on the BMW 5 Series, it paired a powerful twin-turbo V8 with Alpina's own chassis tuning, subtle styling changes and a more luxurious cabin finish. The B5 was about effortless speed and grand-touring composure, offering huge real-world performance with a calmer, more mature personality than a BMW M5. It could cover long distances quickly and comfortably, with the rare Touring body adding extra practicality in some markets. For enthusiasts, the B5 stands out as a discreet, beautifully resolved performance sedan or wagon with classic Alpina character.

Alpina B5 gone from Australia
Goodbye B5, we barely knew thee. The powered-up wagon and sedan have been axed from the Australian range, which means the updated model won't be coming Down Under.
