Bovensiepen Zagato driven: M-car hardware meets Italian coachwork

Bovensiepen Automobile debuts with a carbon-bodied Zagato that blends M-car hardware with Italian coachwork. The company, now separate from Alpina, presents a £320,000 2+2 built atop an M4 Competition xDrive Convertible, featuring a new pillared, double-bubble Zagato roof and a seamless roof-to-windshield transition. The carbon body adds 50kg across 12 panels, and the conversion removes the donor car’s folding roof mechanism to preserve the new silhouette. The rear haunches are double-skinned for crash structure, underscoring a blend of luxury and performance aesthetics rather than a track-focused stance. This model signals Bovensiepen’s prestige venture into high-end, limited-run GTs with a distinct design language.
