Premiums compare the median price of sales with each option against comparable sales without it, mined from verified auction listings. Sales are pooled across markets on a relative-price basis, so exchange rates and market levels can't skew the split. Options interact in ways a one-at-a-time split can’t capture — treat each premium as directional rather than gospel.

Marque analyst note

The UK market for Alpina B7 saloons is pricing at a median of £52,500, up 25 percent year-on-year, though this appreciation signal comes with a significant caveat: the sample comprises only five transactions tracked over the past year, making the trend vulnerable to outlier effects and seasonal clustering rather than sustained demand.

Recent transaction activity remains sparse and episodic, limiting confidence in directional reads. With no active listings currently recorded, the market presents a thin liquidity profile that typically favors patient sellers but offers buyers few negotiating positions.

The Alpina B7 sits in the depreciating modern category with modest collectibility standing. Low desirability metrics and the absence of production-volume constraints suggest this remains a usage-focused performance sedan rather than a scarcity-driven collector item, and market appeal will track closely to broader BMW enthusiast cycles.

Average mileage on transacted examples stands at just 3,270 miles, indicating these are predominantly low-use or near-showroom stock cars entering the secondhand market. This unusually fresh condition mix may be inflating recent values and may not persist as typical B7s age into higher-mileage ownership patterns.

Base case projections hold the median flat at £52,500 over both three and five years, signalling that the recent year-on-year gain is not expected to extend. The thin sample size and modest desirability profile suggest stability rather than momentum, with future price direction contingent on whether these cars establish a collector following or continue depreciating toward mainstream modern-saloon floor values.
