• Offered from the Youngtimer Collection
• Alpina’s first 6-Series conversion
• Gorgeous Arktisblau metallic over beige leather

Alpina’s first full conversion on BMW’s 6-Series platform, the B7 Turbo was introduced in December 1978. It had the same engine as the 5-Series–based B7 Turbo saloon and was based on BMW’s 3.0-litre inline six-cylinder engine, but rebuilt with lower-compression Mahle pistons and a new fuel-injection system. A variable boost control for the turbocharger meant that output could be modulated between 250 and 300 bhp.

Finished in Arktisblau metallic with contrasting gold Alpina graphics and a beige leather interior, this B7 boasts perhaps the quintessential BMW Alpina colour combination, subtle yet sophisticated. Previous registrations on file show that the car previously resided in Germany and then Austria before being purchased by its current owner two years ago.

One of 183 examples produced, the E24-generation Alpina B7 Turbo showcases what Alpina does best: take BMW’s finest products and make them better, yet in a subtle way that only makes them noticeable to true enthusiasts. This B7 Turbo would be an excellent driver for the individual looking for something different, something special, and something fun.
