1986 BMW B9 3. 5 Alpina Evocation

Estimate: £7, 500 - £8, 500

Registration No: D997 EBJ
Chassis No: WBADKthe details below
MOT: T. B. A.

- First registered in East Suffolk

- Fitted with an Alpina-style bodykit (front air dam, rear spolier), steering wheel, decals and alloy wheels which would cost thousands to source today

- Based on a 518i (E28) donor car and still powered by a 1. 8 litre four-cylinder engine allied to five-speed manual transmission

The first E28 5-Series Alpina derivative, the B9 3. 5 was in production from November 1981 – December 1987. Foreshadowing BMW’s own E28 M5, the Alpina was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 6. 3 seconds and 153mph thanks to its high performance engine, uprated suspension, enlarged brakes and front / rear spoilers. Just 64 of the 577 B9 3. 5 cars made were reputedly to UK, right-hand drive specification (with only 18 of those being manual). Increasingly collectible, genuine B9 3. 5 examples can fetch £60, 000 or more.

Based on a BMW 518i (E28), ‘D997 EBJ’ was converted into a B9 3. 5 lookalike sometime ago. Indeed, sourcing a similar Alpina-style front airdam, steering wheel, boot lid spoiler, ‘Deco’ stripe kit and alloy wheels today would cost a fair proportion of the guide price. First UK registered on August 1st 1986, the saloon was originally specified with Alpine White paintwork, cloth upholstery, power steering, five-speed manual transmission and a tilt / slide sunroof. Already highly convincing from a cosmetic perspective, an enterprising new owner could doubtless have a BMW M30 straight-six engine installed should they wish to complete the Alpina illusion. Offered for sale with history file and fresh MOT certificate.
