Alpina B5 Saloon

The E60 B5 was Alpina's take on the fifth-generation BMW 5 Series: a 4.4-litre V8 reworked by the Buchloe firm and fitted with a centrifugal supercharger, paired with the Switch-Tronic six-speed automatic. It produces 500 bhp, which put it among the fastest four-door cars of its time while keeping the discreet looks Alpina buyers value.

This 2006 car is finished in Monaco Blue Metallic with an Ecru Extended Merino leather interior. Options include electrically adjustable comfort seats with driver memory, Anthracite Maple trim, the Alpina sports steering wheel with contrast stitching, a through-loading system with ski bag and a detachable tow bar.

It has covered 108,606 miles and has had four owners. The dealer says recent maintenance and preparation work has been carried out, with the details recorded in the accompanying history file.
