This 1976 Alpina B2 is a rare E12 car said to have been converted in Buchloe when still a brand new BMW 528. Restored to what appears to be a very detailed and expensive standard, the seller provides limited history and no specs but photos are numerous, high resolution and good quality. According to the Alpina Archive, B2’s made 230 HP and were good for sub seven second runs to 60 MPH, but regardless of numbers and stats we want to own it badly based on nothing deeper than looks. Find it here at DLS Automobile in Stuttgart, Germany for $92,574 as quoted here on an external site.

​Age of restoration work isn’t mentioned, but the car looks pretty much museum quality as-is with straight sides, sharp gaps and crisp white paint. Trademark Alpina blue and green stripes look very well applied, and of course the brand’s well-known turbine style wheels are another welcome touch. Note the rear-mounted fuel door, clear lenses, deep black rubber and excellent brightwork as well. This front view is our favorite, the car’s deep chin spoiler, split bumper and very large auxiliary driving lamps all executed to perfection.

​A partially stripped but still comfortable looking cabin sports a full cage and Scheel seats in front—there are none in back. Check out the passenger facing Alpina number plaque and extra gauges, some mounted in a dash-top pod and a a few more hanging below where the center console and radio controls would have been installed in a standard E12. Toggle switches and red flip-up safety covers are always cool, and an under-dash shot shows that hidden hardware and wiring is just as well done as more easily visible stuff.

​A 3.0 M30 running a beautiful long tube header and three big twin choke Webers looks immaculate and unused underhood. Though carbs seem to be missing an Alpina branded airbox seen on other B2’s, placement of the radiator header tank and semi-race spec suggest that it may never been equipped with one to begin with. We wish we could hear it run, but the 3.0CSL B2 in this video probably sounds very similar.

​As is often the case with such impressively restored cars, the big question here is will the new owner have the guts to drive it properly? If it sounds anything like the CSL above we doubt anyone could resist.
