The visit to Alpina
Part two
Here is a B3 3,2 Coupe based on the BMW 328i. Engine produces 265 HP and this little rocket will do 0-100 km/h in 5,9 s and a top speed of more than 260 km/h (162 mph). This is almost as fast as the Euro 321 HP M3 through perfect engineered engine and available torgue at all revs.


This is B10 V8. First white one I've seen. I´d rather have a blue Touring.

This is the B10 V8 based on the BMW 540i. It has 340 HP and a top speed of more than 275 km/h (172 mph). It has the optional clear lenses. Notice the nice double exhaust lower left.

The blue touring to the left is a B10 V8 and the black one is as you probably noticed a B10 3,2. The touring has a top speed of 268 km/h (168 mph).


Here is the new wheels on a B10 V8.

This is a BMW Alpina B12 5,7 E-Kat based on the BMW 750i/iL. Its V12 powerunit produces 387 HP.It will do 0-100 km/h in a mere 6,2 s and a top speed over 280 km/h (175 mph), very impressive for a car weighing more than 2 tonnes. Notice the four exhaust pipes, two on each side, exactly as the new M5. It has electrically heated catalytic converter to reduce pollution. This car will outrun a Mercedes S 600 L I guess.

Notice the new facelift  of the BMW 7 series. The black plastics around the headlights are exchanged to reflective bright material, very nice!

This is a old fast one, the B7 Turbo. It has 300 HP and can easily outrun many of today's "sport cars". Notice how the trend goes to more discrete styling of the cars. The stripes of the seventies where large and the Alpinas of today are more discrete.
