BMW Group is expanding its ultra-luxury Alpina brand through international market entries and concept showcases. In July 2026, the company announced plans to launch Alpina in South Korea by early 2028, positioning the brand between the BMW 7 Series and Rolls-Royce to compete with Mercedes-Maybach.

Following this announcement, the brand debuted the ‘Vision BMW ALPINA’ concept car in North America via a marketing tour that included appearances at The Quail and the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. The concept is a four-seat coupe featuring a V8 engine and high-end interior materials such as crystal controls and metal surfaces finished with watchmaking techniques.
