An extremely rare ALPINA B5s LCI Individual from 2008. General: The ALPINA B5 was introduced in 2005 as the successor to the B10, and unlike the BMW M5, ALPINA took a completely different technical approach with the E60 B5. No high-revving V10 with SMG, but a torque-rich supercharged V8 engine with a 6-speed ZF transmission. Both had a power output of no less than 500 HP. However, the power delivery was completely different. Whereas the V10 had to be deliberately encouraged to accelerate, the supercharged V8 shot away instantly at any RPM. It is rare for ALPINA to match or surpass a BMW M product in terms of power. Nevertheless, in 2008, ALPINA dared to go all out by introducing the B5s, based on the Facelift BMW E60/E61, which surpassed the BMW M5 not only in torque but also in power! The ALPINA B5s had insanely impressive specifications: 530 HP and 730 Nm! These figures are still substantial by today's standards, but in 2008, they were unprecedented. The B5s is a true wolf in sheep's clothing, because although the diffuser, among other things, is slightly more striking than on the standard B5, the B5s, just like the B5, has a gentlemens appearance. This makes it easy to surprise unsuspecting fellow road users, and only true connoisseurs will realize what they are dealing with. In addition to the more powerful engine, ALPINA fitted the much finer and more modern DKG 8-speed automatic transmission in the LCI ALPINA B5s. In our opinion, this configuration suits this type of car perfectly and makes the car almost unbeatable in mid-range sprints, without compromising on comfort. The car is blisteringly fast, but never nervous. About this car: An ALPINA is always special, simply because not many are made. Only 120 examples of the ALPINA B5s sedan were ever produced worldwide. Do you think it can't get any more special than this? Yet it can, because for a substantial premium, this particular example is finished Individually inside and out in the special color combination of ALPINAblau II with a beautiful Cognac /Birch LAVALINA interior! What makes this car possibly even more unique is that it is (even for an ALPINA) packed with options. Key specifications and options: - Special paint finish ALPINA Blue II – metallic - LAVALINA Individual bi-color interior - ALPINA trim strips with inscription - ALPINA velour floor mats and ALPINA trunk mat - Soft-close - Alcantara headliner - Electrically adjustable seats with memory - Massage function - Seat ventilation - Bi-xenon - Navi Prof - Glass sunroof - Keyless go The car is generally in good condition and is truly beautiful to look at. One of the active headrests has a fault. Therefore, there is an airbag/restraint system fault light on. Should be checked by the new owner as well as the PDC.
