BMW Alpina Submodels
Alpina has a long history of enhancing BMWs, evolving from a tuner in the 1960s to a registered automobile manufacturer. Unlike BMW's M division, which focuses on track-ready performance, Alpina prioritizes high-torque engines and compliant suspension for rapid, comfortable long-distance travel. This unique philosophy results in cars that blend immense speed with understated luxury.
Collectors are drawn to Alpina's rarity and bespoke nature. Signature elements like the 20-spoke wheels, subtle body kits, and hand-finished interiors set them apart from standard BMWs. Because production numbers are low, owning an Alpina is a mark of distinction for enthusiasts who appreciate a more exclusive alternative to an M car.
Buying Tips
- Verify the car's authenticity. A genuine Alpina has a specific Alpina VIN and a production plaque, not just cosmetic upgrades.
- Inspect the signature 20-spoke wheels for damage. They are expensive to repair or replace, and curb rash is common.
- A complete service history from a BMW or Alpina specialist is essential. Alpina-specific engine and transmission components can be costly to fix.
- Check the condition of the exterior Deco-Set stripes. The vinyl can crack and peel with age, and correct replacement is difficult.
- On models with Switch-Tronic, ensure the steering wheel-mounted shift buttons function correctly and the transmission shifts smoothly.
