The condition of the car is very good indeed and we are regularly complimented on the vehicle when out driving by total strangers. We have found this drivers car to be comfortable, reliable, fast and frugal as it regularly returns over 30mpg. Typically and commensurate with age there are however a few small areas of imperfections that would benefit from being addressed. The private B10 registration is to be kept with the vehicle.

The Alpina B10 3.3 petrol engined models were built in saloon and touring body styles based on the BMW E39 from 1997 to 2004. Alpina really threw everything at this model unlike the earlier 3.2 version which used the 528i engine as a base, the 3.3 Alpina took the legendary S52B32 engine from the E36 M3 and then increased the stroke to up the capacity to 3.3 litres. It was then fitted with lightweight Mahle pistons with ported/polished cylinder head, with a new crankshaft with torsional vibration dampers and revised ECU software.
