Description
Under the bonnet lies the highly regarded 3.3-litre inline-six M52 engine, producing 280 horsepower with a character that is both powerful and silky smooth. Among enthusiasts, this engine is often considered the most desirable option in the B10 range thanks to its low weight, excellent balance, proven reliability, and distinctive six-cylinder soundtrack. According to the previous owner, the engine remains completely original, with no tuning or other modifications.
For those who appreciate a more engaging exhaust note, the centre silencer has been removed, giving the car a fuller and sportier sound without affecting its ability to pass inspection. The result is an exhaust note that perfectly suits the car’s character and further enhances the driving experience.
The car presents very well overall, especially considering its age and mileage. The bodywork is in good condition, and both the paintwork and underbody have been treated with rust protection. Finished in elegant Orient Blue Metallic and complemented by Alpina’s signature styling details, the car has an exclusive and timeless appearance that continues to attract attention.
Equipment levels are generous and include sport seats, a sport steering wheel, multifunction steering wheel, cruise control, onboard computer, power windows, power mirrors, tinted windows, wood trim, stereo with CD player, remote central locking, Xenon headlights, Angel Eyes, and Alpina’s distinctive alloy wheels. The car was previously equipped with a detachable tow bar, although its current status is unknown.
The Alpina B10 3.3 offers a rare combination of performance, comfort, and exclusivity. For the collector or enthusiast seeking something considerably more special than an ordinary BMW, opportunities like this seldom arise. A well-preserved and exceptionally rare Alpina that delivers just as much driving enjoyment today as it did when new. The car is accompanied by its service book and additional documentation – please refer to the photographs.
