Vehicle description

Model history:

In the 1960s, Burkard Bovensiepen began classic tuning under the name Alpina: carburetor system, spoiler, suspension parts for the BMW 02 models and the BMW 5 Series built from 1972 onwards. Alpina became a manufacturer and courageous pioneer in technology in 1978 with the legendary B7 Turbo models and the B6 2.8. Alpina also took on the fourth BMW 3 Series generation (E46) and presented, so to speak, as the successor to the B3 3.3 in 2002 at the Paris Motor Show the B3 S, which produced 305 hp at 6,300 rpm and whose maximum torque was 4,800 rpm. According to research, Alpina produced only 807 copies of the B3 S model based on the BMW E46.

General information about the vehicle:

Now in this auction an Alpina B3 S from the year of construction 2005 is offered, which was imported from Japan and according to seller statements has 3 vehicle owners. This Alpina sedan was first registered in Japan in March 2005, over the years the vehicle then came to Germany - a general inspection is valid until July 2023. For the traceability of the history of the Alpina, among other things, a checkbook is available. After consultation with the current owner, the so-called matching numbers are completely available.

Exterior colour/varnish/body:

The exterior of the Alpina B3 S is extremely discreet compared to the BMW E46 series: only the modified front lip and a different rear apron and a small spoiler on the rear lid are striking. In addition, this Alpina has the typical Alpina ornamental tires in gold color. According to the seller, this accident-free Alpina B3 S is kept in the color "Alpina Blue 2 Metallic", inconsistencies in the body can apparently not be found, only normal and through the years occurring signs of use are recognizable according to the current owner on the exterior.

Exterior rims/brakes/chassis:

Tires of the brand Michelin are mounted on original Alpina multi-spoke rims - the tires can obviously be taken sufficiently tread and the brakes came on the front axle new. According to the seller, no rough signs of use can be seen in the area of the chassis.

Interior:

Black leather sports seats in Alpina leather design can be found in the interior of the B3 S: accents are set by the various wooden decorative strips installed in the interior. In addition to the sports seats, the multifunction leather steering wheel is also covered with leather and the "Alpina" lettering can be seen in the door sills. In addition, there is a silver production plaque with the production number of this Alpina B3 S model in the interior. In order to get a detailed picture of the condition and the equipment features in the interior of this Alpina, the many pictures are available.

Mileage

The dials with red hands are highlighted in blue: the mileage can be read on the digital odometer in the middle of the instrument cluster. The seller mentions that this sedan has run 138,468 kilometers and this mileage can be traced via a checkbook. Furthermore, it should be said that all instruments and displays in the interior of the Alpina obviously work perfectly.

Engine

The 3.3-liter in-line six-cylinder naturally aspirated engine (internal engine designation S52) delivers 305 hp - the power is transmitted via 5-speed Switchtronic automatic transmission to the rear wheels. The seller states that the car drives perfectly and the transmission shifts smoothly. Recently, the bearing shells and Vanos were made, and the engine and transmission oil were new.

Subsoil:

According to the seller, the underside of this Alpina is in careful condition. An Alpina B3 S is a comfortable and discreet alternative to the BMW E46 M3. This B3 S sedan offered here also impresses with its good condition and traceable history, and you can also cruise comfortably through the area in the Alpina, which is equipped with automatic transmission. Due to the small number of units produced by the Alpina B3 S, the vehicle is also interesting for collectors. .

    Meine Recherche hat ergeben, dass das Fahrzeug im Jahr 2018 aus Japan zunächst nach Polen importiert wurde-ist das korrekt?
