This three-owner example was exported to Nicole Japan (the Japanese Alpina agent) shortly after completion in 1982. It was acquired by its third and current owner in August of 2012, who has used the car sparingly in his home country of New Zealand. It presents very well, with its Alpina Sapphire Blue paintwork gleaming and its original interior in fine condition. Its engine bay has also benefitted from a recent restoration with specialist work to the turbo and fuel system and is adorned with tags that bolster its history, evidencing services at the same Japanese specialist in 2000, 2001, 2002, 2004, and 2007—the car has covered less than 4,000 km since. Additional written records extend back to 1991. A copy of the original build sheet, service documentation, and records accompany the sale, all testifying to the diligent care that has been bestowed upon this Alpina by previous keepers. Service records confirm the low current odometer reading of just 118,200 kilometres.
