BMW Alpina Gamme BMW Alpina - électrique/hybride
Electrification at Alpina remains recent and limited compared with mainstream brands: the independent production relied chiefly on powerful combustion engines. With integration into the BMW Group (effective from 2026), Alpina's electrification trajectory now aligns with BMW's, which develops plug-in hybrids and fully electric vehicles on its modern platforms. This category therefore brings together the brand's future hybrid or electric variants, conceived as the luxury and performance version of electrified BMW models. The target audience seeks performance, comfort, and exclusivity with a reduced energy footprint. On these often heavy vehicles (batteries), tire management is important: in Quebec, winter tires suited to the load and instant torque are strongly recommended, and the large wheel diameter calls for strict adherence to the original dimensions and indices.

Technology
Technologies, engines and platforms
This range will follow the BMW Group's electrification technologies: plug-in hybrid and fully electric powertrains on modern BMW platforms, with electronic management, regenerative braking, and all-wheel drive depending on the model. The details will depend on the new Alpina direction under BMW.
Tires and wheels
Tire and wheel compatibility
Reposant sur des plateformes BMW, les Alpina partagent généralement l'entraxe BMW (souvent 5x120 sur les modèles anciens, et le standard BMW propre à chaque génération sur les récents). Les berlines et coupés sportifs montent fréquemment de grands diamètres (typiquement 19, 20 voire 21 pouces) avec des pneus à profil bas et souvent des montes décalées (pneus arrière plus larges qu'à l'avant), ce qui exige un remplacement par paires d'essieu et un respect strict des dimensions d'origine. Au Québec, des pneus d'hiver dédiés sont obligatoires et fortement recommandés sur ces véhicules puissants et lourds : envisager un second jeu de jantes de diamètre adapté pour l'hiver. Vérifier toujours dimension exacte, indices de charge et de vitesse selon le modèle et l'année.
