+Éliphas Lévi If you live in Munich it`s no wonder you never see a E24 M6,they were never sold in Europe. Here they are called M635 csi. The US spec E24 M6 was altso down 30 bhp (256 bhp) on the M635csi`s 286 bhp
Éliphas Lévi They have two different engines,the US M6 had whats called the S38 engine with a catalyzer,the euro spec M635 had the M88 engine without. The euro spec M635 is altso almost a second quicker to 62 mph. And then theres the 5 mph bumpers and other slight differences....
I always love when I see older Alpinas since not a lot of people see them as anything other than a BMW, but they're so elegant and beautifully designed and modified
Those Corvette C4s were junk. They had 5.7L V8s but were restricted so much as a result of emissions standards in the US. They also had this "crossfire injection" system which was trash. You could easily make 330 horse out of the same platform.
The Alpina B7 S were the fastest cars in 1979 1980, topspeed was 270 km/h when the M1 did 262 km/h and the Porsche 933 turbo did 259 km/h and the acceleration was also similar to 933 turbo the Porsche did about 5,8 sec to 62 miles , the Alpina did 5,7 sec to 62 miles.
you have to see that these 300 SAE hp were measured after the old methods with water cooling from external and with a Kick-starter, so that on a measuring instrument there might be 245hp left. Anyway to get close to such an Alpina you would need at least the 390hp versions from 1969 or a Big Block Corvette. Because the 330hp net match to about 410 hp measured in the way described above.
aliGyo Not in the classic era that the film talks of. Go compare a C2 or B3 2.7 Alpina E30 with an M3 of the same year they were far superior. Still a bargain too at half the price. Not sure for how much longer though :)
I owned a B10 535 Alpina while stationed in Germany in the 1990s. That was a fun car to own over there. It was forest green and was such a beast to drive. I use to cruise down the autobahn and B roads as fast as that car would go for hours. I bought it for 5K sold it for 8K to an officer. I still kick myself for not keeping it somehow.
I'm totally feeling this comment my friend. Several years ago, I sold my 1995 750Il. First generation E38 V12 due to an engine issue that would be totally solvable with today's resources. I truly miss that car.
The owner of BMW shop where I worked in the late 90s had a B6 2.8, based on the E-30. It was an absolutely fantastic car to drive. I’ve been a BMW tech for 22 years now and it is still my hands down favorite, and I’ve driven virtually every M car ever built. I had a 1979 Euro spec 635csi with the sport gearbox, while it was no Alpina, it was still an awesome car in it’s own right. I miss the connected feeling of the older BMWs.
Who says '80s are not cool? In my opinion the 6-series of the '80s is the best looking BMW, hands down. As well as the 7-series from the same area. But the coupe has an edge in the looks department. Today's BMW styling is an insult.
I used to have numerous BMW'S from the '80s. Two of them were e24's, a '85 Red 635csi and a '87 Black L6. Loved the L6. The e28 535i was a great car too! I also agree on the new styling......the '80s had the best classic designs BMW had.
I agree that the 6 is a great looking car but the e28 5-series has much better proportions in my eyes, and is the best looking, to me, from that era. I just can't get over how awkward the e24 looks from the B-pilar back, with its huge quarter windows and downturned trunk, it really ruins the overall look. Shame, considering how amazing the long hood and aggressive shark nose front end looks. Don't even get me started on the 7-series, the designers got that one all wrong.
Whew!!! Blown away by this video!!! I'm fortunate just to have my "100mph collision bumpers" US spec. 1984 e24 . I firmly believe that US automakers were so jealous of the Euro E24, they pushed to get those things put on it... Mine is one of the last 633csi built---- BMW imported just under 2000 of the 633csi in '84... The 5 speed '84 633csi is fairly rare today, I found that out after almost selling her for cheap... It's definitely not anywhere near the Alpina but.... I am smiling every time I get behind the wheel. "Miss Orwell"--- I love you!!!
I'm an e46 guy...i really like the concept of the alpina it's this lucrative and rare species almost like how saleen makes those few mustang. When you see one it turns your head.
To keep my spirits up during the months of Lock down in 2020, I entered a few draws for cars. I wasn't expecting much, but if cost next to nothing, and gave me something to look forward to. The one that got me most excited was a draw for a 1973 BMW 2002 Turbo. Just thinking about driving that old school, classic style car had me anticipating the day of the draw. I day dreamed about road tripping in it, and remembered what it was like to drive the cars and trucks from the late 60s and 70s like I did when I was younger. From simple chicken trucks to sports cars, they were a totally different experience to what we have today. I totally understand the love of that era, and the BMWs from back then are iconic and unmistakable for anything else.
I've loved Alpina's since I discovered them age 10 in 1981, when I was taken to the annual BMW car club by my dad at BMW GB in Bracknell in the UK. I just love Alpina's philosophy of make it faster, make it nicer, but make it also so usable and not track focused like M cars. M cars, the only ones I truly desire are the M635csi and the E34 M5 in 3.8 guise. Alpina's, I just love them all and would love to have an E24 Alpina, but it's probably never going to happen, but, a B3s E46, is a possibility and one I want so badly.
1973 2002 was the first car I drove long distance from Ft Smith Arkansas to Vegas. It was 1977 and i was 14. I still remember how wonderful that car was. I now drive a 991.2 Turbo Porsche on the German autobahn in southern Germany. Though I am a huge Porsche fan I still love that 2002 and also the 3.0. Great video and thank you for the drive down memory lane! Be safe.
Use to own an 1985 Alpina C2 2.5, was a great feeling driving it when everything was in sync. Would love to ownan E30 B6S, which, in my eyes in the perfect Alpina.
My dad had a friend with a wrecked Alpina e21. I remember as a kid playing in the car, pretending to be racing or robbing a bank. I drive an e46 m3 now and have always owned a BMW. Life goal is ALPINA.
I really liked this video. Well done ! These 6 E24 series ALPINAs are one of the rarest and most desirable ALPINAs. 👌 I feel very humble with my 'modern' B3 3.0 E36 cabrio ☺
Very great movie with very great cars! My grandfather had a 635csi, unfortunately i never seen or drove this car, only seen on photo's. I'm almost 20 years now, but i really love these cars! It's sad that these kind of cars are no longer produced.
I keep on watching and watching this vid. Love the introduction, love his way of talking. Not bragging, just being himself. Really love it. Greets from Belgium.
These take me back, spent time as an technician in a BMW dealer in 87/88 when these cars were new.... they were special cars back then, still are. That B7s tho 😯😯
What a wonderful bunch of videos PetroliciousCo. Sometimes brings a tear of joy to the eyes to see these old cars so well taken care of. Love it....keep em coming
That's a BMW! Not like the crap you see today....this video shows the 'real' stuff.....back in the 70's, I still remember as a kid this is the shape you spotted from afar as that of a BMW....and the engine sound too!
Hey, outstanding video!!! I'm already very much into the hobby of these vintage BMW's, but after seeing this vid I'm even more into it! Holy smokes what a nice collection you have!!!!!
...and I was in living the thought that I am a serious E24 enthusiast(!) The B7 I was not even aware of existing... Amazing cars. THANKS FOR THE EDUCATION! Greetings from the Netherlands.👌🏻
"Auto Motor & Sport", a german car magazine had a test and gathered some B7s and B7 coupes many years ago. (E28 and E24) All turbo-models, and most of them had outputs over 400bhp... :D Up northwest a E28 with four men onboard owned a guy on a Honda CBR900RR; On the straights! 290km/h... :D This was in the mid 90's. Those were the days. We were young and a bit mad, and had loads of fun! ;)
The first Alpina I saw was the 1978 BMW 333i. White with the stripes. I fell in love. The regular 320i , at the time was OK, but that Alpina was Fantastic. What I would pay to have one in storage today...
I really enjoy how u show care single people who have a passion for cars. companies and organizations are easier to do stories about thanks for giving these brilliant mechanics and enthusiasts an in depth look
I can honestly confirm, the B7S is a monster. One of my closest friends and businesspartner used to have one (we are both BMW guys) and I have driven it many times. The power-delivery falls in the "hits you in the back with a sledgehammer" cathegory and the overall performance is outright ridiculous, considering it is an early 80's car.
Boy oh boy you took me back I had one of those and a 5 Series and the Seven series when I lived in Germany but I really have fun with the the 6 series you can make that bad boy dance like a ballerina and they were super fast he is right and what he is saying and I know he is having fun I still drive BMWs but I miss those I'll probably never get over it
That engine sound. I always appreciate bmw engines so amazing. I also had the same experience with bmw, my uncle bought a m3 e46 drove me to school and went places it was amazing. They inline 6 was so good 😊
One of the things I love about these videos is it's just the owner. No "experts", no dramatic voice overs or cynical journalists. Just the owner
Lavaman3682 I think it also needs more dramatic, loud dubstep music and sound effects that distract you from the car.
Stephen Stone spot on comment. What is with that?
@@stocksxbondage All the ruined videos with that awful music.
god dammit those six series from the '80s were just amazing

woow so jealous!! i live in munich (the home of BMW) and i hardly ever see E24's and NEVER see the E24 M6

my dad owned a bmw 2002 and a datsun 510 and I make sure to give him shit everyday for getting rid of them and having children instead
best comment ever, hehehehehehe
Funny how he says that a lot of people don't know what an Alpina is. Drive one of those in western Europe and any car enthousiast will start drooling!
Not a many people in the states*
@DC Williams we aren't though
Exactly
There is an unloved Hartge E30 on the streets of L.A. that I have tried to buy from the owner with no success.
@@davidparker9676 I have a e30 alpina in Los Angeles are there others ❤️
That guy is the secret BMW collecter
Exactly!!!
His head shape gave the identity away lol
I always love when I see older Alpinas since not a lot of people see them as anything other than a BMW, but they're so elegant and beautifully designed and modified
333hp in 1983 in an Era where a "sportscar" had only 150-200hp. As I recall my dad's 1984 corvette had 205hp.
Those Corvette C4s were junk. They had 5.7L V8s but were restricted so much as a result of emissions standards in the US. They also had this "crossfire injection" system which was trash. You could easily make 330 horse out of the same platform.

Wow the engine bay is hella clean!
fantastic cars, i love ALPINA cars so much, greetings from Germany
In the 80's as a kid in Puerto Rico i always admired my neighbor Alpina. Loved the sound!
The 1980s BMW 6- series has always been a favorite of mine but, to see these Alpinas in absolutely cherry condition is just so very cool!

Nice. My Dad has an e24 M635, and I've got an M535i. Makes me want to go and drive them. Those Alpinas are special.
Those engine bays are CLEAN!
Had the opportunity, long long ago, to drive a 1981 Alpina B6. Thrilling.. great car! I bet it could still kick some butt.
That B7S is so beautiful in that green!!
I love all the old petrol Alpinas. Not very fond of the new generations but these old ones are fantastic. The B10 Biturbo I always wanted to own.
Hey, outstanding video!!! I'm already very much into the hobby of these vintage BMW's, but after seeing this vid I'm even more into it! Holy smokes what a nice collection you have!!!!!

Beautiful and Classic Car.. Can win my heart always. A true driving machine.
I love the 6 series from that era and obviously the Alpina's are the next level above in terms of engineering. Awesome looking cars.
"Auto Motor & Sport", a german car magazine had a test and gathered some B7s and B7 coupes many years ago. (E28 and E24)
All turbo-models, and most of them had outputs over 400bhp... :D
Up northwest a E28 with four men onboard owned a guy on a Honda CBR900RR; On the straights! 290km/h... :D
This was in the mid 90's.

Wow those B 9 and 7 are awesome. I didnt know that BM has made cars like that
These are gorgeous looking cars. The looks, the power, the handling and the history, everything is there for you, if you lucky anough,...
i cant stop watching your videos man..
The first Alpina I saw was the 1978 BMW 333i. White with the stripes. I fell in love. The regular 320i , at the time was OK, but that Alpina was Fantastic. What I would pay to have one in storage today...

OMG, saw a e28 Alpina on De Soto in Canoga Park last week. It was a tribute car, white, and turbo.
I really enjoy how u show care single people who have a passion for cars. companies and organizations are easier to do stories about thanks for giving these brilliant mechanics and enthusiasts an in depth look
Alpina's are so cool, I wish they would import the 3 series variants, and not just the big boat that the B7 is.
There are 3 seres alpinas in USA
You just gotta find them :)
William Seroyer You can get the B6 Gran Coupé, but that's not exactly small either.
I'am talking about OldSchool ALPINA's ! :)
Man!!! The highest congrats possible for those bmw's
I'm just looking at my 2014 F30 and realising I don't want it at all...I want that B10
The e24 is a god damn beauty! And the best looking 6 series ;-)
I'm salivating over the E27 M5.
My god, how those thing look ! I NEEED IT !
two very beautiful cars.
What a collection!!
I have been in a e46 alpina b3 3.3 and it is definitely the best car experience in my life so far (I'm 14 years old)
I can honestly confirm, the B7S is a monster. One of my closest friends and businesspartner used to have one (we are both BMW guys) and I have driven it many times. The power-delivery falls in the "hits you in the back with a sledgehammer" cathegory and the overall performance is outright ridiculous, considering it is an early 80's car.

So Beautiful, Makes me want to go work on my E30.
Boy oh boy you took me back I had one of those and a 5 Series and the Seven series when I lived in Germany but I really have fun with the the 6 series you can make that bad boy dance like a ballerina and they were super fast he is right and what he is saying and I know he is having fun I still drive BMWs but I miss those I'll probably never get over it
