Alpina produced only 67 examples of the B6 2.7 for Japan, and this particular car is believed to be among the rare Touring variants that received the full treatment.
Visually, this E30 Touring makes no attempt to be "anonymous." Gold Alpina decals stretch across the deep Diamond Black Metallic bodywork, giving the wagon a sharp identity. At the lower end, a more pronounced front bumper extension adds just enough aggression without being over the top. The car rides on Alpina's classic 16-inch multi-spoke alloy wheels.
Inside, there is a pair of sport seats upholstered in black fabric with green and blue accents. The headliner is covered in Alcantara, and there is a four-spoke steering wheel with an Alpina badge, which also appears on the wooden gear knob. Equipment includes a sunroof, electric windows, air conditioning, and a BMW stereo with a cassette player.
Under the hood lies a naturally aspirated 2.7-liter inline-six engine, upgraded with Mahle pistons, a custom-ground camshaft, a modified cylinder head, a new exhaust system, and a remapped ECU.
As a result, power is increased to 213 horsepower and is sent to the rear wheels via a five-speed manual transmission, aided by a limited-slip differential. The lightweight E30 enables a 0-100 km/h sprint in a still-respectable 6.9 seconds, before reaching a top speed of 225 km/h.
This specific example has covered 163,334 kilometers, although an issue with the instrument cluster may have resulted in some mileage loss. Despite this, the car remains in good condition with a few scratches, stone chips, mild interior wear, minor differential leaks, and worn brakes. It was last serviced in 2025, following an earlier inspection by BMW specialists.
The rare Alpina was listed for £41,000, but the ad is no longer active.
As is already known, Alpina no longer operates as an independent entity but has been integrated into BMW as a full-fledged luxury sub-brand. This new era will begin with flagship models based on the upcoming redesigned 7 Series and the next-generation X7.
