This one of many cars that we did in Nov, although its white I figured it deserved to be posted up. BMW Alpina B7, unfortunately the pictures aren't all that great. The weather here in Nov was overcast and cold. We started this car around noon and finished extremely late. You will see from the final shots. The car is a daily driver one of the owners favorite cars. Great customer /Great family!

Great detail on a beautiful car. They should have chosen a 5series atleast instead of basing all that power off of a 7 series. The 7 series is to heavy, almost like all that power gone to waste.
Phil that's one heck of a job, as usual. :worship2: Is that your new shop? By the way - thank you very much for posting pictures of the interior! I love pictures of interior details. I'm one of the sickos that really enjoys doing interiors - I think it's really important to get that right.
Well done Detailersdomain team :cheerl: Hey those wheel..um..locks look cool, can't say I've ever seen wheels with that kinda lock, but it's neat :thumb:
great job as usual phil. i've had the priveledge to detail (and drive) a couple of these bad boys myself at work (bmw dealership). they are indeed a fine automobile.
Nice job as always Phil.....I enjoy taking my time cleaning the Alpina B7 at my BMW detail job. I like how the driver seat has a back massage feature :thumb:
Real nice work Phil, With the right tools and know how it shows what can be done with white.:applause2:
:crasy: I guess the S55,63 & 65 were stupid ideas too, huh? A lot of people want the luxury and room of a full size sedan with some performance as well. BTW, Alpina ,makes versions of the 3 & 5 series too. Alpina B5 – s upercar sedan The valve stem is behind the lug nut cover as well. Nice job Phil. Love the B7! I've actually pondered buying one next.
