Munich. The transfer of the Alpina trademark rights
on 1 January 2026 marks the launch of BMW ALPINA as an exclusive
standalone brand under the BMW Group umbrella. The initial focus will
be on brand activation. Key elements of the BMW ALPINA brand are its
unique balance of maximum performance and superior ride comfort,
combined with hallmark driving characteristics. This is complemented
by an exclusive portfolio of bespoke options and custom materials
along with unmistakeable details.
Tradition meets future.
Given the storied history of the brand, the BMW Group is aware
of its tremendous responsibility and committed to making the new BMW
ALPINA chapter one that meets the highest expectations. The new
wordmark provides a first indication. It radiates clarity, calm and
confidence. Positioned at the centre of the rear, it underlines the
standalone character of the new exclusive brand and its independent
personality within the BMW Group. It is consciously inspired by the
brand’s asymmetrical wordmark from the 1970s. The elegant,
contemporary design provides a link between history and future.
New direction for modern exclusivity.
BMW ALPINA vehicles are manufactured according to rigorous
standards for materials selection and craftsmanship. They fulfil the
most demanding expectations in terms of visuals, acoustics and feel.
Moreover, buyers can choose from a remarkable portfolio of bespoke
options. These ensure that every BMW ALPINA has its own, unmistakeable
character. Each vehicle will be an exclusive object for connoisseurs
in pursuit of the extraordinary, without compromises on performance,
comfort and individuality.
