1986 BMW E28 Alpina B7 Turbo

Key Features

  • A highly sought-after and rare E28 B7 Turbo/1
  • One of the last of around 213 cars built
  • 300 hp version before catalytic converter
  • Impressive maintenance invoice file (photos attached)
  • Original car in factory configuration, in classic black
  • Only two registered owners
  • Low mileage and well maintained
  • Very rare model on the auction market

The most

Would there have been a BMW M5 without Alpina's incredible B7? Long before BMW adopted the same concept, the original E12 B7 showed what could be achieved by taking a nimble saloon and making it much, much faster. At its launch, the B7 was the world's fastest four-door saloon.

The E28 version improved the formula even further. While the contemporary M5 relied on natural aspiration, the B7 kept the turbo. It was faster than an M5 and also much rarer due to its high price - only around 213 were produced (some say 236) over an extended period. But there's more to the B7 E28 than raw power: Alpina always sought a balance between agility and comfort, achieving this arguably better than an M5.

This car is the B7 E28 300 hp non-catalytic converter version. Produced until August 1986, these arguably the most sought-after cars.
First registered in June 1986, this is one of the last examples.
With only two owners and still stored under cover, its state of preservation is remarkable. Its black bodywork is in superb condition, while the original Alpina interior is magnificently preserved.

The B7 E28 is one of the rarest and most successful classic saloons ever built. These models rarely appear on the market. This one, with its history, low mileage and preserved authenticity, is an exceptional collector's item.
