Brief history of Alpina:
Alpina started with the production of typewriters, the original Alpina family business ceased to exist in 1965 due to the flow of cheap Asian electronic typewriters to Europe.
The first typewriter was introduced in 1952. Around 300,000 typewriters were produced until 1965.
Logo
The red half on the left shows the twin Weber carburetors, Alpina's first development for BMW.
And on the right is the crankshaft, another detail that enables the increased performance of BMW engines, which shows engineering expertise. Incidentally, the logo appeared in 1967, two years after the founding of the tuning company.
In 1962, Burkard Bovensiepen was a young engineering student.
He wasn't interested in his family's typewriter business, instead spending all his spare time tinkering with his Fiat 1500 to make it faster.
He replaced the original Solex carburetor with a dual-Weber carburetor and a more aggressive camshaft, which allowed the car to get 75 instead of 67 and accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 13 seconds, three seconds faster than with the factory carburetor.
His first attempts were not successful, the fiat 1500 soon gave up.
In 1961, BMW presented the 1500 model, which could produce 80 hp.
He convinced his father to let him work on the car in a small outhouse on the company's property and began modifying its engine.
It cost 980 German marks including the installation of the first tuning set, which raised the performance of the BMW 1500 to 1800. This was very successful.
He started the tuning business in the annex of the original Alpina typewriter factory.
In 1964, BMW confirmed the quality of this Alpina product by providing BMW vehicles equipped with the Alpina system with a full factory warranty.
The company was founded on January 1, 1965 by Burkard Bovensiepen (1936-2023, aged 87) in Kaufbeuren, Bavaria, Alpina Burkard Bovensiepen KG.
The company had eight employees.
It was 1970, when the team's cars won 3 times the European Touring Car Championship, the German Mountain Championship, the Rally and Track Championship, as well as the prestigious Spa 24 Hours and the Nurburgring Nord Schlaif, i.e. Hell of the North.
Alpina officially retired from racing in 1988, when 3 Christian Dahnas won twice at the world-famous Hockenheim.
Starting in 1968, drivers such as Derek Bell, James Hunt, Niki Lauda, ​​​ were all ALPINA drivers.
Their first own car was presented in 1978, the B6 2.8 t from the BMW 3 series, which was the first in the world to have a 6-cylinder engine.
1978 Burkard Bovensiepen founds his second company, Alpina Wine, which deals with the import of quality wines.
Since 1983, Alpina has been recognized as a car manufacturer by the German Federal Ministry of Transport, so cars manufactured by Alpina are branded and registered as Alpina instead of BMW, although Alpina can be serviced at any BMW dealership.
Alpina was the first to mount shift knobs on the steering wheel.
"Alpina Blue" or "Alpina Green" metallic exterior colors.
Gold or silver, thin, striped exterior bodywork is also a feature of older Alpina cars and is an option on new Alpina models.
From 2002, his two sons, Andreas and Florian Bovensiepen, jointly managed the company with their father, who from then on focused his operations on the wine sector.
Burkard Bovensiepen was a visionary, a perfectionist and a man with clear ideas. When he came up with an idea, he never tired of refining it until it 100% met his vision and expectations.2022. on March 10, BMW announced its intention to acquire Alpina, and on the same day, BMW wrote on its website that it had officially acquired the brand.
