The Alpina B7 Turbo was the model that established Alpina as a manufacturer capable of challenging the world’s fastest GT cars. Introduced in 1978 and based on the BMW E24 6 Series, it combined the elegant “shark nose” coupé with a turbocharged version of BMW’s M30 inline-six. With up to 330 horsepower and a top speed exceeding 250 km/h, it was among the quickest four-seat grand tourers of its era. Production remained extremely limited, making original B7 Turbos some of the most sought-after Alpinas today.

This example is one of only 292 B7 Turbo Coupés built by Alpina and was delivered new in Italy, where it has reportedly remained throughout its life. Finished in white with the distinctive green and blue Alpina stripes, it retains the correct aerodynamic package, multi-spoke Alpina wheels and black leather interior. The seller describes the cabin as being in near-new condition, while the engine bay appears clean and correctly presented with the characteristic turbocharged Alpina mechanical package. As always, buyers should verify the car’s Alpina chassis number, production records and originality of its specific components.

Original B7 Turbos have become increasingly difficult to source as collector interest in period Alpina models has grown. Cars with documented provenance, matching specifications and original equipment now command a significant premium over converted or tribute examples. If the documentation confirms this car’s factory Alpina identity and Italian delivery history, it represents one of the most desirable high-performance BMW derivatives of the late 1970s and early 1980s.
