The Appeal
Recognised by the German Federal Ministry of Transport as an automobile manufacturer since 1983, Bavarian company Alpina stood apart from other performance specialists who were normally branded as aftermarket tuners. In collaboration with BMW, Alpina have produced numerous high-performance versions of BMW production cars and the B10 we have here was based upon the E39 5 Series.
Reported to be number 66 of a total of 240 examples built, this rare and luxurious sports saloon features a modified version of BMW’s M54B33 engine, bored out to 3.3-litres and fitted with lightweight Mahle pistons, a modified cylinder head and reprogrammed Siemens engine management system.

Previously registered in Sweden, but now located in Estonia, this Alpina has covered 294,600 kilometres and has undergone major recent servicing. The car is in commendably original condition and well-preserved throughout thanks to dry storage. The vendor reports that it continues to drive well and is accompanied by a valid technical inspection.
For those seeking a smart original example of this rare high-performance saloon, this Alpina B10 is not to be missed.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
- If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
- If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
-
- Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
- We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.
| Bid Amount | Increment |
|---|---|
| €0 to €9,999 | €100.00 |
| €10,000 to €49,999 | €250.00 |
| €50,000 to €99,999 | €500.00 |
| €100,000 + | €1,000.00 |
Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
