The vehicle is a rare and distinctive 1979 Alpina B6 2.8, one of approximately 533 examples built between 1978 and early 1983. Originally manufactured in Germany, the car showcases its unique Alpina tuning with increased power from the M60 engine and sporty exterior cues like the wide-body fenders and rear spoiler. As evidenced by its rich history, it has been imported to the US, featured and sold on Bring a Trailer, and subsequently resided in Canada before returning to Europe. The BMW E21 chassis Alpina B6 3-Series stands prominently at 470mm wide and currently holds a high bid of $50,000 at an active auction, highlighting its desirability among enthusiasts worldwide.
