EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES Based on the E28-generation BMW 528i, the B9 3.5 received extensive mechanical modifications carried out by Alpina in Buchloe, Germany. At the heart of the vehicle is the legendary BMW M30 3.5-litre naturally aspirated inline-six engine, extensively developed by Alpina engineers. Among the modifications were specially developed Mahle pistons, a revised camshaft and recalibrated Bosch Motronic engine management, designed to improve performance, throttle response and overall driving characteristics. This example is finished in the timeless shade of Alpine White with contrasting green and blue ‘deco set’ graphics, over a black vinyl and cloth-trimmed interior, featuring green and blue seat accents.
