KEY FACTS This E60-generation BMW Alpina B5 S is a very rare and powerful high-performance saloon, presented in a BMW Individual specification. It is powered by a 4.4-litre supercharged V8, producing around 530PS and 725 Nm of torque, driving the rear wheels via a six-speed automatic Switch-Tronic transmission with steering wheel-mounted shift buttons. First registered in 2008, this example was previously registered in Japan and is now located in Poland. The odometer is understood to indicate approximately 89,500 km, though this is not warranted. This E60-era Alpina B5 S is one of only 120 examples produced, and is believed to be the only example worldwide with its specific BMW Individual Merino Oxide Brown and Black interior specification.
