And for the 6-Series Gran Coupe, the message is pretty clear: the one-off ALpina B6 Gran Coupe, an amazing vehicle with exquisite driving capabilities and potent powertrain.

Recently, the one-off model was sent to TAG Motorsports for some nice wheels to make the body styling more standout. No mods were added to the exterior, the tuner considering that the stock design is already impressive.

And what better wheels are fit for this gorgeous Alpina B6 Gran Coupe than the ones from ADV.1 Wheels tuner.

It is all about the ADV10 MV.2 SL alloy wheels, measuring 2×19.5 and 21×10 front and rear, finished in Brushed Aluminum. They are also wrap in Pirelli P Zero tires, sized 245/30/20 up front and 285/30/20 at the rear.

No mods were carried out under the hood, the model still packing the stock 4.4-liter bi-turbo V8 engine with an all-wheel drive, developing a staggering 540 horsepower and 540 lb-ft of torque. The hardcore B6 sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.7 seconds, at a topping of 324 km/h.

Despite the sheer power and performance, the BMW B6 Gran Coupe comes with proper fuel consumption, burning out 10.4L for every 100 km. The CO2 emissions also stand at 242 g/km.

And while they do not offer the fastest builds, nor the best visual upgrades, what they offer is high quality cars.

Abu Dhabi’s BMW dealership has already established itself as the most luxurious one in the world, and it has done so in a very short time. Now, it seems, they managed to get their hands on an Alpina B6 Gran Coupe, which is one of the best Alpina builds out there.

This is so for a few reasons. First off, the B6 Gran Coupe is the only Alpina that is faster that the base model’s M Division variant. The B6 Gran Coupe is also the fastest car in Alpina’s arsenal so far, with its 4.4 liter twin turbo V8 outputting some 540 Hp and 730 Nm of torque. Also being equipped with BMW’s xDrive system, the Alpina B6 Gran Coupe is a real monster on the road. And just to make things more interesting, this particular unit also has a vented hood from another renowned BMW tuner, namely Manhart. I just can’t wait to see what will Abu Dhabi get next.

Not so long ago, the model was finally announced for sale in North America.

Wearing a price tag of $118.225, the Alpina B6 Gran Coupe will first arrive on the new continent in April, when it will be on display at the 2014 New York International Auto Show. Following the event, the vehicle will become available for purchase.

Under the hood resides a powerful 4.4 liter Alpina Bi-turbo V8 engine capable of delivering 540 Hp to an all wheel drive system (aka xDrive). Coupled with an 8 speed automatic transmission, the B6 Gran Coupe xDrive will accelerate to 92 km/h in just 3.7 seconds.

Other features include a high performance stainless steel exhaust system and the usual high grade aesthetic improvements we came to expect from Alpina.
