Description
In 1990, the Alpina B12 5. 0 Coupé was introduced, based on the BMW 850i. This grand tourer was already a huge success for BMW, and this rarity quickly confirmed its value among enthusiasts.
Alpina has always followed its own vision and has made substantial technical modifications. Alpina used different pistons, larger intake valves, a bespoke exhaust system and a slightly modified Bosch Motronic engine management. The B12 5. 0 was exclusively available with a four-speed automatic gearbox.
Alpina also refined the chassis, mounted 17-inch twenty-spoke wheels and extended the front spoiler. As an option – and fitted to this example – is the famous Alpina stripe livery. The brain behind this creation is the genius Burkard Bovensiepen, who since 1962 had nourished the ambition to push beyond the limits of BMW’s official preparations. Thanks to an extreme standard of quality, Alpina impressed BMW as early as 1964 to the point that Alpina kits were covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.
And this one? As you may have guessed: one of only 97 ever produced, originally delivered in Germany, accompanied by a full maintenance and history file documenting its life in minute detail. It is presented in the special BMW Sonderlackierung Dark Sapphire Blue Metallic and in exceptional original condition, awaiting its new owner.
Come and discover it.
