When talking about the ultimate luxury you can get inside a BMW, among enthusiasts there are two names that immediately pop up. One of them is BMW Individual and the other is ALPINA. The German manufacturer has been closely working with BMW for decades now and the products they bring out may have sky-high price tags, but they also bring you a level of luxury few people can enjoy.

As China has been witnessing never-before seen levels of wealth, customers over in the Far East have been demanding only the best money can buy. In the process, they ended up breaking records, and setting new benchmarks. BMW as well as other premium manufacturers have been watching their business boom in Asia, allowing them to reach new heights in terms of sales.
