A genuine Alpina – not simply a modified BMW.
ALPINA is a unique name in the automotive world. Rather than being an aftermarket tuning company, Alpina has historically worked closely with BMW to develop complete vehicles, with its own engineering, chassis development, engine calibration, interiors and distinctive styling.
Every Alpina is built with a very different philosophy from a conventional performance BMW. The emphasis is not simply on outright power, but on creating a car that combines exceptional performance with long-distance comfort, refinement and effortless usability.
The B3 BiTurbo is an excellent example of that philosophy.
Under the bonnet is Alpina's extensively developed twin-turbocharged straight-six petrol engine, delivering strong, immediate performance with the smoothness and character expected from a BMW straight-six.
Alpina's engineering goes considerably beyond simply increasing engine power. The B3 benefits from Alpina-specific development to the engine management, turbocharging, cooling, suspension, brakes, transmission calibration and overall chassis balance.
The result is a car capable of serious performance while remaining refined and comfortable enough to use every day or cover long distances with ease.
The B3 BiTurbo has all the details that make an Alpina instantly recognisable to enthusiasts, from its understated appearance to its unique Alpina specification.
Unlike many modern performance cars, Alpina deliberately avoids shouting about its abilities. The styling is subtle, elegant and understated, with the performance only becoming apparent once you're behind the wheel.
That discreet character is a major part of the appeal.
A rare and collectible performance BMW
With production number 089, this particular car represents a small part of Alpina's production history.
Genuine Alpinas are considerably rarer than equivalent BMW models, and surviving examples with good history are becoming increasingly sought after by BMW and Alpina enthusiasts.
This is therefore an opportunity not only to buy a hugely capable performance car, but also to own something with genuine automotive heritage and exclusivity.

Owned by me from 2016 to 2018 then re-purchased in 2022 and owned by me until present.
It was/ is such a stunning, capable car that I couldn't resist buying it back.
During my first ownership, in 2017, we travelled through France and Spain in the Alpina and the car ticked every box - eating miles in comfort, sporty on the curves, beautiful with the roof down but still plenty luggage space.
Since buying it back I have spent time making it as good as it can be... plenty of cleaning and polishing {mostly for attending shows}... keeping on top of maintenance... it flies through every MOT with no advisories.. it really is a diamond... it is hard to sell it but I just don't use her as much as I would like and I need the space...
