The Alpina B10 3.2, 3.3, V8 and V8S petrol-engined models were built in saloon and estate body styles based on the E39 from January 1997 to May 2004. The BMW Alpina B10 3.3 produced 276bhp @ 6,200bhp and 335Nm (247 lb ft) of torque @ 4,500rpm. Alpina only made 112 of the B10 3.3 saloon models worldwide, from a total E39 B10 production run of 472, split across six-cylinder and V8s, saloon and touring models.
Alpina really threw everything at this model. Unlike the earlier 3.2 version (which used a 528i engine as a base), for the 3.3 Alpina took the legendary S52B32 engine from the US-spec E36 M3, and then increased the stroke to up the capacity to 3.3 litres. It was then fitted with lightweight MAHLE pistons, with a ported and polished cylinder head, with a new crankshaft with torsional-vibration dampers and revised ECU software.
Believed to be 1 of 112 B10 3.3 saloon models worldwide, this example has had just 4 former keepers and covered 127,800 miles. This performance orientated 'Beemer' E39 offers a distinctive interior to match the distinctive powerplant, as you might expect from the Alpina division. The dashboard offers Orange on Blue dials, viewed behind the striking Red leather Alpina steering wheel and from Red heated leather seats with adjustable lumbar support, with plenty of Alpina logos to help the driver appreciate where they are.
This Alpina B10 3.3 is offered with the original owner's wallet with handbook and service book with 15 entries plus two keys and a collection of old invoices and MOT certificates. Recently, the Alpina has recently benefitted from a new battery and a fuel pump and it is expected to have a fresh MOT at the time of the sale.
