What are some of the 2012 bmw alpina b7 problems?

The 2012 Alpina BMW B7 holds much appeal for power and speed enthusiasts. The 4.4L V-8 turbo driven engine offeRS600 HP and a 0 to 60 mph time of just 3.6 seconds. ItS8 speed sport automatic transmission, power steering assist and 590 lb-ft of torque are impressive reasons why the MSRP was close to $130,000. However the Alpine's problematic past gives some used car collectors room for pause because the engine has been known to be plagued, much like other BMW's, by excessive oil consumption. This issue requires the almost inevitable replacement of the Alpine's oil pump at not very modest cost of $1118 and $1200 in parts and specialized labor. The Alpine also suffers from failed water pumps and waste-gate malfunction that causes rattling when operating.
