Vehicle Details
What’s the difference between the Alpina B8 and the BMW M8?
Great question! The Alpina B8 and BMW M8 compete in the same ultra-luxury performance sedan space, but they have very different philosophies:
🏎️ Performance & Power
| BMW Alpina B8 | BMW M8 Base | BMW M8 Competition | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine | 4.4L twin-turbo V8 | 4.4L twin-turbo V8 (S63) | 4.4L twin-turbo V8 (S63) |
| Horsepower | 613 hp | ~600 hp | ~617 hp |
| Transmission | 8-speed automatic | 8-speed M-Steptronic | 8-speed M-Steptronic |
🤔 The Key Difference: Philosophy
Alpina B8: Think “grand tourer.” Alpina tunes for effortless comfort and refinement. They optimize the adaptive suspension, use Brembo brakes, and add hand-finished interior details. It’s the car you choose for a 500-mile road trip in supreme comfort while still carrying supercar speed.
BMW M8: Think “track weapon.” M Division tunes for raw performance. Stiffer suspension, more aggressive styling, and a sportier driving feel. The Competition package dials this up even further.

🎯 Bottom Line
If you want the ultimate one-car garage—something that can rip 0-60 in ~3.5 seconds and pamper you on long journeys—the Alpina B8 is arguably the more special choice. Only 7 are currently for sale on Classic.com versus 49 M8s, making them far rarer.
But if you prioritize track days and aggressive handling, the M8 Competition is your machine.
