The 2008 Alpina B7 is a notable car that often grabs attention. It is known for being expensive to repair, maintain, and restore. This is why the recent video on the M539 Restorations YouTube channel feels like a significant event.

More than a year ago, Sreten purchased the 2008 Alpina B7 for $4,000. He affectionately refers to it as a “giant check engine light.” The car is based on the E65 BMW 7 Series and comes with striking features such as 21-inch wheels, a more aggressive body design with a deeper front air dam, side skirts, and a rear valence. However, the true upgrades are hidden beneath the surface. Along with the cosmetic changes, the car receives improvements to its suspension and brakes to handle the power of its 500-horsepower supercharged 4.4-liter V8 engine.
