Alpina's E39 B10 V8 wasn't just tuned — its steering wheel was hand-stitched by a dedicated craftsperson at the factory, a bespoke touch on a run of roughly 1,300 cars.
Road & Track's Paul Frère didn't hedge in 1991: "this is the best 4-door in the world" — and at launch this Alpina really was the fastest production sedan on earth, with only 507 ever built.
Alpina built just 77 examples of this 3.5-litre E28-based B10 — making it one of the rarest BMW tuner cars of the 1980s.
