Buchloe. If you have never heard of it, there is no shame in that, but in the right circles you whisper the name with the same reverence others reserve for Zuffenhausen or Maranello. It is a sleepy little town in Bavaria where, back in the sixties, Burkard Bovensiepen decided that BMWs were certainly good, but never quite finished. So he set to work. Not as a tuner bolting on a few spoilers and a bigger exhaust, but as an engineer who believed it could be done better. Neatly. Discreetly. So discreetly that BMW eventually recognised him as a full manufacturer in his own right, complete with his own type approval.

That is the beauty of Alpina. While Munich's M division was flexing its muscles at the N�rburgring, Bovensiepen chose the gentleman's approach. An Alpina does not shout. An Alpina does not need to prove itself at every set of traffic lights. It is simply there, quietly faster, more comfortable and more exclusive than anything parked beside it, and the only one who knows is you. And perhaps that one fellow in the car park who raises an eyebrow at that signature Alpina front lip and the iconic wheel design.

The story continues on our website, where the full file is kept as well. 76 photographs. The service history, scanned in full. The Carfax report. Paint thickness measured panel by panel. The original factory brochure to page through. A timeline from 9 August 2000 to today, with every owner and the mileage year by year in a single graph.
