Bovensiepen is coming to Belgium, and the ALPINA link makes perfect sense
The people who sold us Alpinas will now sell us the Alpina family's new brand
The Bovensiepen story now has a Belgian chapter. Groupe Pautric has been named the official Bovensiepen distributor in Belgium, bringing the new brand from the family that founded Alpina to Belgian buyers, including the 800 hp 05 GT super-estate we got so excited about earlier this year. If any partnership was going to feel logical, it is this one.
Why Pautric is the obvious choice
Groupe Pautric is a family-owned distribution group that has specialised in premium brands for over 50 years, operating in both France and Belgium. It is the biggest BMW distributor in France, and crucially it previously imported BMW Alpina into Belgium. That is the detail that makes this fit so neatly: Bovensiepen is the brand created by the family that founded Alpina, so the group that used to sell Alpinas here is now selling the family's next act. The trust built over decades of Alpina distribution carries straight over.
What Belgian buyers can order
Two models are on the table. The Bovensiepen Zagato is an ultra-limited grand coupe based on the BMW M4 with Italian Zagato styling, and it is already open for order. The bigger news for most enthusiasts is the Bovensiepen 05 GT, the Frank Stephenson-designed super-estate we covered at its reveal. It produces 800 hp and 1,100 Nm, hits 100 km/h in under 3.6 seconds and tops out at 305 km/h, with each car numbered and extensively customisable in Lavalina leather. Deliveries are expected in the fourth quarter of 2026.
A quiet win for Belgian enthusiasts
For Belgium, this matters because it means access to one of the most interesting new low-volume brands in Europe without having to go through Germany. Bovensiepen is exactly the kind of marque that needs the right local partner: discreet, premium and built on long-term relationships with a small group of discerning buyers. Pautric, with its premium pedigree and Alpina history, fits that brief precisely.
AutoNext Take
We loved the 05 GT when it broke cover, so knowing Belgian buyers can now order one through a serious, established premium distributor is genuinely good news. The Alpina symmetry is the lovely part: the same family, the same kind of beautifully engineered fast cars, and the same trusted Belgian partner that handled Alpina now carrying the torch. Bovensiepen could so easily have stayed a German curiosity. Instead it is putting down proper roots, and Belgium is one of the first places to feel it.
