Overview
In May 2025, during the prestigious annual Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este event, the inauguration of Bovensiepen took place, a new company of the German family named after her, previously known for the BMW company Alpina sold in 2022. The first product was a luxury-sports coupe developed in cooperation with the Italian design studio Zagato, which was responsible for the styling of the model named in his honor.[1]
Based on the BMW 4 Series, the model received a comprehensive bodywork overhaul, sharing only the overall body shape with the original. The front fascia features narrow, soaring headlights and a low-set air intake, beneath which sits the manufacturer's name. The sides are adorned with triple creases and muscular rear wheel arches. The rear is finished with quad exhaust tips, a body-integrated spoiler, and a wave-shaped roof with the double fold typical of Zagato designs.[2]
The passenger compartment was entirely carried over from the BMW parent model, distinguishing itself with contrasting colors and textures in the upholstery and a different steering wheel logo. The Bovensiepen was powered by a modified BMW inline-six petrol engine with a displacement of 3 liters and increased power to 611 hp. As a result, the car developed up to 700 Nm of torque, reaching 100 km/h in 3.3 seconds thanks to an 8-speed automatic transmission.
