We place every lease across major funders including Lex Autolease, Novuna, ALD and Santander, so the prices you see are the sharpest we can source. Alpina became part of the BMW Group on 1 January 2026, so the cars listed here come from the era when Alpina was an independent manufacturer converting BMWs at Buchloe. If you are comparing them against the standard range, see our BMW lease deals.
What Has Happened to Alpina?
On 1 January 2026, ALPINA became part of the BMW Group, ending more than half a century as an independent manufacturer. BMW acquired the trademark rights from the Bovensiepen family rather than the company itself, which continues to look after classic Alpinas from its home in Buchloe.
The practical change is how the cars are made. For decades a BMW would be built at a BMW factory, then sent to Buchloe where Alpina rebuilt it: different engine tuning, its own suspension and steering settings, the distinctive multi-spoke wheels and the hand-finished interior. That arrangement has now ended, and BMW handles development and production itself.
So the cars on this page belong to the independent era, which is the whole of Alpina's history up to this point. Entirely new BMW Alpina models are expected from 2027, positioned as a standalone brand above BMW and below Rolls-Royce, with a focus on grand touring rather than lap times.
Why Lease a BMW Alpina?
An Alpina was never simply a faster BMW. Where BMW's own M division tuned cars for the circuit, Alpina built them for distance: enormous mid-range torque, softer and more absorbent suspension, and a cabin finished to a standard the standard car did not offer. The result is a car that covers ground extremely quickly while staying comfortable, which is a genuinely different proposition from an M car.
They are also rare. Alpina built in small numbers, so you are unlikely to see another one on the same road, and the details are unmistakable once you know them: the multi-spoke wheels, the discreet badging and the hand-numbered plaque inside.
The honest counterpoint is that this is a specialist car with specialist running costs. Insurance, tyres and servicing all sit well above the equivalent standard BMW, and the network that understands these cars is small. Leasing sidesteps the hardest question, which is what a car from a brand in transition will be worth in three years, because on a lease the funder carries that risk rather than you.
Alpina, BMW M or Standard BMW?
Alpina
Effortless long-distance pace with a comfortable ride and a hand-finished interior. The choice if you cover big miles and value refinement over outright aggression.
BMW M
Sharper, firmer and built around driver engagement. The better car on a good road or a track, and the more demanding one to live with every day.
Standard BMW
Far cheaper to lease, insure and run, with most of the everyday ability. Compare the full BMW range before committing to a specialist car.
Be honest about how you will actually use the car. If most of your mileage is motorway, the Alpina is the more suitable of the two performance routes. If you want the car to feel exciting at ordinary speeds, an M car will do that better.

BMW Alpina Leasing FAQs
Yes. ALPINA became part of the BMW Group on 1 January 2026, ending more than fifty years as an independent manufacturer. BMW acquired the trademark rights from the Bovensiepen family rather than the business itself, which continues to service classic Alpinas from Buchloe.
They are tuned for opposite purposes. Alpina builds for effortless long-distance pace, with big mid-range torque, softer suspension and a hand-finished interior. BMW M builds for driver engagement, with sharper responses and a firmer, more focused set-up. An Alpina is the more comfortable car to cover a long motorway journey in; an M car is the more exciting one on a good road.
No, not any more. The old arrangement, where BMW built a car and sent it to Buchloe for Alpina to rebuild with its own engine tuning, suspension and interior, has ended. BMW now handles development and production itself. Buchloe continues to look after classic Alpinas.
Yes, entirely new models are expected from 2027, with BMW Alpina running as a standalone brand within the BMW Group positioned above BMW and below Rolls-Royce. The stated emphasis is grand touring rather than circuit performance. We are not quoting a UK on-sale date, because none is confirmed.
Yes, noticeably more than the standard BMW it is based on. Insurance groups are higher, tyres are larger and more specialised, and servicing costs more, so budget for the whole cost of running one rather than the monthly rental alone. A maintenance package is worth pricing for that reason.
Leasing removes the hardest question, which is what a car from a brand in transition will be worth in three or four years. On a lease the finance company carries that risk and you hand the car back at the end. Given that Alpina has just changed hands and its production model has changed with it, future values are less predictable than usual, which strengthens the case for leasing over buying.
