This impressive 1985 Alpina B7/1 Turbo is on offer by its third owner who has invested a documented $22k+ during his five years with the car to bring it to tip-top mechanical and cosmetic condition. One of only 236 built by Alpina at their Buchloe, Germany facilities between 1984 and 1987, the car was imported when new to Portland, Oregon but spent most of its life in Southern California before moving eastward in late 2009. Said to be one of only four in the US, power is in the order of 300+ HP and 369 lb-ft of torque thanks to Alpina-engineered tricks like a reprogrammed Motronic injection system, modified cylinder head, lighter pistons, different cam, header and three-inch exhaust. Suspension and brakes are also unique to the B7/1 Turbo, and this specific example is said to have won multiple concours and car shows during the past five years as well as being featured in Hemmings Sports & Exotic Car in August, 2010. Described as fast, sorted and meticulously detailed, it is offered with full records from day one.

Resprayed in factory Agate Green Metallic (177 Achatgruen Metallisch) by the second owner in 2004, correct OEM style Alpina graphics were carefully reapplied on top. The seller describes overall exterior condition a 9 on a scale of ten. Alpina turbine alloys show no rash, peeling or discoloration, while trim—including the TUV-mandated rubber safety rear wing—all show very well in photos. E28’s with proper Euro bumpers have generally wonderful proportions, and the full Alpina treatment definitely adds.

The interior remains all-original and looks great with Alpina-striped Recaros in front and matching upholstery in the rear. Cool features like the leather-covered dash and Alpina-specific, VDO-made computer/vent unit housed in the center of the dash help visually distinguish the cabin from standard E28s, a theme continued with branded gauges, steering wheel, wooden shift knob, and striped door cards. It all looks very clean, the seller applying the same 9 out of ten descriptor to the interior’s condition.

This car has had its catalytic converter removed, though it is offered as part of the sale. The car’s single KKK K27 turbo was rebuilt and upgraded with a slightly larger and lighter turbine wheel, allowing faster spool-up and the ability to hold boost through to redline. The seller says that even by modern standards the car remains very fast—period performance figures included sub 6 second 0-60 MPH times and a top speed of nearly 170 MPH.

Spares include the aforementioned catalytic converter, an air filter and stock head unit, while documentation includes original purchase and importation paperwork in addition to full maintenance records across all three owners. Though passenger side windows are intermittently slow and the headlight wipers aren’t currently hooked up, the car is otherwise described as 100% sorted and ready to enjoy.
