They keep the BMW badge on the car Ross as a homage to the donor/partnership of the companies! If you see an Alpina boot or bonnet roundel it is an eBay special! Complex I know.
I didn’t really get the Alpina thing until I owned one.
After I sold my first I got a BMW 760, sold it in less than a year to get back into another Alpina! as many other Alpina owners find, once bitten the Alpina thing is a magic recipe.
I believe there an above average repeat ownership of the marque so they must be doing something right.
My first Alpina is for sale currently

And here is my current one.
That’s a beast, proper machine! I didn’t really get the Alpina thing until I owned one.

There is an early E60 B5 on eBay. In the pics it even looks like it has an E46 style key. I thought they all had a box type key. Clearly not. Also from the blurb -
THERE WAS ONLY EVER AROUND 700 MADE FOR THE WORLD AND ONLY 21 WERE RIGHT HAND DRIVES MADE FOR THE UK SO A VERY RARE CAR.

Just proves Auto trader don’t know much I guess! Pistonheads and eBay have Alpina as a manufacturer for what it’s worth!
Yeah what would Autotrader know about cars.Edited by Philv8s on Wednesday 27th December 10:18
I've previously had E23 7 Series B10 , 2 x E34 5 Series B10 and currently own a E24 6 Series B10 and an E39 5 Series B10 and everyone of them is a massive improvement over the car it is based on and IMO a better resolved road car than the equivalent M car of the time except for the E39.
