The seller offers for sale this BMW E3 2.8 Alpina from 1973, equipped with a 2.8-liter 6-cylinder petrol engine and manual transmission. This sedan has been in the hands of the last owner for 26 years, during which it has been well cared for and maintained. A notable feature is the 5-speed manual gearbox, an upgrade compared to the standard 4-speed setup. The car runs on both petrol and LPG, offering flexibility in use. The paintwork presents well with only minor signs of use and a small rust spot noted near the rear area. The interior is finished with leather seats and remains in a clean condition, with all gauges and electronics functioning properly. The engine runs well and the gearbox shifts smoothly, providing a pleasant driving experience. It holds a valid technical inspection.
The BMW E3 series marked an important step for BMW in establishing itself as a producer of refined and sporty luxury sedans. Known for its balanced driving characteristics and strong inline-six engines, the E3 laid the foundation for later BMW executive models. Cars with Alpina influence are particularly interesting to enthusiasts, as they combine the comfort of a classic sedan with enhanced performance characteristics. Today, the E3 remains appreciated for its classic design, driving dynamics, and its role in shaping BMW’s reputation for sporty yet practical vehicles.
