Just a guess but I expect all 8-series come with the front camera now that BMW got rid of the watered down ZDX base Driving Assistant package in early 2021. Plus one would expect a B8 to be loaded by design but haven't checked the options.

Does anyone know if you can put the M Performance Skirts on the Alpina B8? I ask cause well, i plan to do something unique and no not carbon fiber galor, might keep them gloss black as there is options out there but wanted to make some suttle changes to the B8 to make it unique but classy.
Any input would be great. |

When Alpina remanufactures the car, it leaves their factory with Alpina wheels. Not sure how they return the Msports, but there it is. The car really does get BOTH sets of wheels, but only the Alpina wheels are delivered to the customer. (info courtesy of my sales rep)

I hear ya. Was really tempted to order an Alpina as my next car after 2 F90s. With the cost of money ratcheting up quickly, long ordering times and the BMW price increase, it made my jump to my M850 a no brainer for now.

Yes the only bad part of an Alpina are the those bespoke wheels they use. Yack!
I've seen them look sort of ok on some Alpina's but mostly they are ugly imo. SO MANY nicer wheels available that look SO MUCH better. OPT out if you can. although aren't they 21's? That would be nice....but not in that design. Ya maybe powered black would help them....maybe. Just cuz their tradition doesn't make em nice. Maybe 40 years ago we were impressed but not anymore. Too many better choices now. |

Brake Rotor Questions for the B8
1. Does anyone know why the Rear Rotor on the new B8 is bigger than the front? Cant understand the logic there, isn't like 60-80% of stopping power in the front?
395-mm front and 398-mm rear.. Was just curious if anyone knew the reasoning.. 2. Does anyone actually know the part numbers for both front and rear sets? Long story, but working on something unique on my end, will have to show you later. I've looked high and low, no help or info from 2022 or even now. |

Does anyone have a 2023 B8 gran coupe vin I can use for looking for some parts ? I'm trying to locate replacement rotors for the front and rear but all dealers or parts places online want a vin.
I'm still waiting for my vin to be produced. Thank you in advance Joe |
