It is only now that they’ve made the 2013 Alpina B7’s model pricing available. The model is available in four trims with rear or all wheel drive.

All versions of the car are based on the BMW 750i and come with the same 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine that’s the base for most M powered cars these days.

In the 2013 Alpina B7 the motor has been tweaked to an output of 540 horsepower and 538 lb-ft of torque. The power figure may have gone up but the gearbox is the same.

You’ll be relying on the same eight speed ZF-sourced automatic transmission as before since it can apparently take the extra grunt just fine.

On the serious decision and choice front you’ll have to tick some boxes on the Alpina order form and find out if you want the short or long wheelbase version of the car.

The xDrive all wheel drive version is now ever more popular with luxury cars so that’s going to be a tricky decision as well.

Before all these decisions are made, you’ll have to figure out if you can manage to swing the asking price around.

Alpina will be charging $128.495 for a standard B7 and 131.495 for one with xDrive. Move up market to the stretched version and the price starts at 132.395 USD.

Finally, the top of the line long wheelbase model with the added comfort of all whee drive will set you back 135.395 USD.

The newest we’re getting to see is made by Rowen Japan (can you guess what country they’re from?) and it’s a package called the White Wolf.

I will admit, it’s does have a bit of a ricing/tuning enthusiast teen, look to it but there’s some kind of justification to it.

Firstly, it comes from Japan. That’s a country where each detail can be more appreciated than the full overall look of the whole car.

From what we can tell the White Wolf is a decently highlighted version of the E89 Z4. No longer is it a subtle mix between a GT car and a roadster, it’s now a completely fun loving toy.

The package is made up of a brand new lower body kit, new 19 inch alloy wheels both of which come with some contrasting black accents.

That’s basically the shortlist, if you’re not a very big fan of the LED lights, front splitter and other aero tweaks that aren’t immediately apparent.

No word on any sort of interior tweaks or engine mods being available but if you’re going to drive through a congested city like Tokyo, you’ll not need them.

You will want the comfy seats of the standard BMW Z4 and you’ll find that the power of both the 2 liter and the 3 liter turbocharged engines is too much to use.
