OK let's put it straight. This car is not entirely a 100% REAL Alpina B12 5.7. The true story came out when Alec offered it on BaT June 6, 2024. An original No 35 Alpina B12 5,7 was destroyed in a major accident and they removed all they could salvaged from it ( engine, transmission,etc,etc ) and installed those parts in a regular 850 CSi. Alec tried many times to have this car homologated by Alpina with the same production number 35 as the original crashed car...but Alpina refused, which I fully understand. He should have told it right away in this video. He does not feel comfortable describing the car, now we understand why. The selling price of $ 156 000 reflected this ...This is a regular BMW 850CSi with Alpina parts rescued from destroyed No 35 Alpina B12 5,7 . IMHO, this will affect his hard earned credibility in the future .
Love it. Thanks for posting.
