Registration No: B10 AXA
Chassis No: WAPBA33L09FE45044
MOT: July 2025
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), 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.
Build number 44 of the 112 B10s produced, was manufactured in 1999 and was supplied new to the United Kingdom being first registered on the 1st March that year. Finished in Anthracite Grey paintwork with Montana Grey leather interior upholstery, the Alpina was specified with the rare and highly desirable manual gearbox, as well as electric rear windscreen blind and rear window privacy blinds, 19’ staggered alloys, Angel Eye, and LED lights, as well as having a tracking system. In current ownership since 2013, the Alpina has covered some 18,000 miles in this time and has just five former keepers. Offered with apt ‘B10’ registration number included, its original unused tool kit, glove box torch, medical kit, Schnitzer heated wing mirrors and a stainless steel exhaust, the B10 is rated by the vendor as ‘very good’ in regards to bodywork, paintwork, engine, gearbox, and electrical equipment, and as having ‘excellent’ interior trim. Offered with a history file that includes the original book pack including the stamped service book, as well as historic invoices and MOTs, a no advisory MOT until July next year, and a current V5C document.
