HIGHLIGHTS
- Excellent history
- Extremely well presented
- Desirable Alpina model
- Number 62 of 130 Alpina convertibles produced
THE APPEAL
With very few produced, the BMW E46 Alpina is considered quite a rare car and with just 130 convertibles produced, its safe to say they don’t come up for sale very often, and when they do, they’re often snapped up pretty quickly, and it is easy to see why.
This lovely example is being offered for sale by the vendor who is downsizing his collection of modern classics. The Alpina is a nice spec with the Lotus White Nappa leather and Midnight Metallic paintwork, which is all in excellent condition.
In addition, there is a substantial history file with the car, which suggests it has had a no expense spared life when you take a look through the invoices. A very desirable modern classic which is a must for any BMW enthusiast or collector.

THE EXTERIOR
- Finished in Midnight Blue Metallic (Nachtblau-Metallic) (453)
- The bodywork is excellent, and the shut lines are matching and equal around the car. Unfortunately, there are two minor dings in the bonnet and a very small one on the driver's side front wheel arch. A dent specialist could possibly remove these, but they would obviously need to be inspected by them first.
- The paintwork is superb; there are minimal swirl marks to see, and it looks fantastic in the sun where the colour really pops

- Windows are free from any noticeable scratches
- The headlights are in good order with no chips to the lenses
- Rear lights have been upgraded to LED style, which gives a cleaner look
- Original Alpina wheels are in excellent condition, with no corrosion spotted on the faces. These are complete with the locking centre caps and key
- Rear tyres have recently been replaced, and the fronts have a good amount of tread remaining

- 276bhp 246lb-ft of torque
- Five-speed switch-tronic gearbox with steering wheel controls
- The car fires up without hesitation
- No issues are reported by the vendor with the running of the Alpina
- The gearbox is said to have a smooth change and pulls strongly through the rev range
- New front calipers were fitted appropriately 14 months ago
- The brakes bring the car to a stop in a straight line with no juddering through the pedal
SUMMARY
Just in time for the summer, this 2001 BMW B3 3.3 Alpina will not disappoint. It's the right spec with an excellent history. The last service was carried out just 48 miles ago, meaning the Alpina is ready for the new custodian to jump in and enjoy.
A rare modern classic at an affordable price, which could even be considered as an investment with so few produced.

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
- Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
- Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
-
- Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
- Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.
| Ammontare dell'offerta | Incremento |
|---|---|
| Da £0 a £9,999 | £100.00 |
| Da £10,000 a £49,999 | £250.00 |
| Da £50,000 a £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
Problema con l'offerta
Le offerte sono contrattualmente vincolanti. Per tutelare l'utente, sono previste alcune regole nel caso in cui si ritenga che sia stato digitato in modo errato. Si prega di controllare e modificare quanto inserito.
