ALPINA 735i B10(e-23)

When the 745i came Alpina decided to stop making a model on the 7-series, presumably by the existence of the 745i. Alpina did offer a turbocharger upgrade package allowing higher levels of boost. But in the U.K, where the 745i wasn´t available, there was a market for a more powerful 7-series car so Alpina´s U.K authorized dealer Sytner was responsible for the Alpina 735i B10. Even though the 735i B10 was built in Great Britain it was a real Alpina. Handbuilt 261 bhp, 3,5 litre, 6 cylinder engines were delivered fully built from Germany to Sytner. The rest of the car was also pure Alpina including special gas-filled Bilstein shock absorbers and progressive rate springs, 16in Alpina alloys, Alpina front and rear spoilers and all of the other smaller bits and pieces which distinguish Alpina´s cars. The car accelerated from 0-100 km/h in around 7 seconds and had a top speed of nearly 235 km/h. That is superior to the 745i. All the cars had manual gearboxes. The 735i B10 is a very rare car, only 22 were built.
