The Alpina factory built less than 15 of these extremely rare BMWs and only nine are known to exist today. This particular car was first owned by a prince in Liechtenstein who ordered the car built with all the Alpina options available in 1973. He rarely used the car over the next ten years and as a result it remained in as delivered condition.

 

 

The car was imported to the United States in the early 1980’s and later purchased by a well know BMW expert who began a seven year “nut and bolt” restoration. All parts were either re-finished or re-plated to better than factory quality or replaced with New Old Stock (NOS) parts. The attention to detail on body fit and finish is incredible. All mechanical components have been completely rebuilt and are in perfect condition and specification. The result is a stunning “better than new” Alpina. Of the 42024 original miles on the car, only 2000 have been added since the restoration was complete.

The car went undefeated for three years in SCCA sanctioned Concours events with an average score of 100 and two “Best of Show” trophies between 1994 and 1996. In total this extremely rare Alpina 3.0 CSL has won 27 first place concours awards and is considered by many as the high water mark in terms of authenticity and restoration detail.

All of the Alpina modifications are period correct and in perfect “as new” condition. The 3.0 liter B2S engine produces 250 Horsepower and is equipped with three 45 DCOE Weber carbs and the unique cast alloy Alpina cold air box and headers. The engine is equipped with 10.5:1 compression pistons, lightened crankshaft, ported and polished heads with larger valves, stiffer valve springs and more radical cams. The Alpina specification ZF 5 speed close ratio transmission, adjustable sway bars, large brakes are all in perfect condition

The original Alpina steering wheel, VDO three gauge pack, map light, and racing seats complete the interior. The Alpine body modifications include a front air dam, side graphics, Plexiglas side windows, chrome fender extensions, competition belt driven differential cooler, and Rare 15” Alpina Magnesium Competition Wheels.
