Before Alpina was officially acquired by BMW in March of 2022, the pair enjoyed a nearly sixty-year collaboration beginning in 1964. So symbiotic was the partnership, that BMW honored a full factory warranty on all Alpina-modified models, later selling them side-by-side with its own M products. Starting with a dual Weber carburetor setup for the BMW 1500, Alpina founder Burkard Bovensiepen would lead his company in a partnership evolved past production car modification into successful efforts as a racing team. Further distancing themselves a standard tuning shop, Alpina has been recognized as a full-fledged manufacturer by the German Federal Ministry of Transport since 1983. One of the finest creations to emerge from this relationship is undoubtedly the E30 3-Series-based Alpina B6 which saw one of BMW's most celebrated chassis further enhanced to deliver a superb driving experience.

Beginning with a M20B25 engine, the stock 2.5-liter straight-six was bored out to 2.7-liters and upgraded with custom flathead Mahle pistons, a more aggressive camshaft, harder valve springs, and a revised ignition system allowing for higher compression. Derived from the legendary Alpina C2, this drivetrain was utilized for the Japanese market as the 3.0-liter drivetrain was unable to meet emission standards. Delivering a potent 210-horsepower, the B6 offered a surprising increase of approximately 40 horsepower over a stock 325i, which, paired with a close ratio five-speed gearbox and upgraded exhaust system, provided an exciting improvement in performance.

As number 40 of only 67 total examples ever produced, this highly-collectible Japan-only model is offered with only 35,671 kilometers at the time of cataloging. Believed to have been imported to the US sometime around 2016, this car spent most of its life in Japan. Immediately distinguishable from a standard model, the B6 offers sportier front and rear spoilers while classic Alpina wheels and gold stripes complete the exterior transformation. The interior offers enhanced striped cloth upholstery with upgraded sport seats and an Alpina branded steering wheel situated amongst a well-appointed interior. With exceptional rarity, this Alpina B6 not only delivers an enhanced driving experience but also tremendous collectibility and provenance from Bavaria's famed tuners.
