Description from the seller
General
Up for sale is a rare and unique Alpina B3 S Sedan (production number 071) based on the iconic E46 generation, featuring a low documented mileage of 144,710 km. As the ultimate evolution of the model, the limited-production "S" variant is powered by a 3.4-liter engine producing 305 hp, with only 233 sedan units ever built worldwide. Originating from the Japanese market, this well-maintained example comes from a private BMW/Alpina collection and is fully registered, insured in Poland, and ready to drive.
Bodywork & Paint
The bodywork is in outstanding condition and completely free of corrosion. The paintwork presents in perfect shape, with 95% of the finish being entirely original.
Technical
Mechanically, the car is in excellent order with no issues. The engine and running gear function flawlessly, having recently undergone a major oil service along with the fitting of brand-new tires. Both the braking and suspension systems are in top condition, and all electrical features—including the power seats—operate perfectly.
Interior
The interior has been exceptionally well cared for, featuring leather upholstery in very good condition and clean, undamaged original Alpina floor mats. The cabin presents extremely well overall, though the buyer should note that the headliner currently requires re-gluing.
Documents & Location
Imported from Japan, the vehicle comes complete with its original service manuals, inspection records, and documented oil service history. The car is officially registered and insured in Poland with all import duties and paperwork in order. Located in Poland, it offers a fantastic opportunity to acquire a highly collectible and limited-run E46 Alpina.

Disclaimer
Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
