After 57 years of successful cooperation, the German car brand BMW and the tuner Alpina have become one. This news was announced yesterday by the BMW Group.

BMW is currently silent on the financial details of the takeover. According to the contract signed two years ago, Alpina will upgrade the models of the Bavarian car giant in its plants in the German city of Buchloe by the end of 2025. After that, all Alpina employees will become employees of BMW or its partners. Buchloe remains one of the bases where Alpina will provide spare parts and service for its cars. Also, the restoration of Alpina’s older editions will be on offer soon.

According to a recent announcement from both companies, the reason for this decision is electrification and automation. So now Alpina will have access to all the resources and engineering knowledge of BMW, which will provide the company with a better future.

Last year was the best in the history of the German tuner Alpina. More than 2,000 cars have been delivered, and engineers are currently preparing their new creations based on BMW’s redesigned 3 Series and BMW X7.
