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.
