The Alpina C2 2.7 was only available from two UK dealers at the time. Sytner of Nottingham or L & C BMW of Tunbridge Wells. It was possible to buy the more modest C2 2.5 conversion with 190bhp for £3,995 plus VAT or for the customer craving even higher performance, the C2 2.7 litre conversion was available for a staggering £8,645 plus VAT, an amazing amount of money in 1989.

The performance was an outstanding 143 MPH top speed and 0-60 in 6.5 seconds. Many purists consider the C2 2.7 to be the ultimate road going E30, still featuring the lovely M20 straight six engine and mixed with Alpina’s subtle blend of performance motoring for the true sporting enthusiast but with that lovely Alpina usability
The full 2.7 conversion included a 2693cc engine taking it to 210 BHP at 5800 rpm with 213 lb ft of torque, Alpina mapped Bosch Motronic ignition and injection, full Alpina exhaust system, Alpina valved Bilstein shocks with Alpina progressive rate springs, Alpina 7×16” front wheels with 205/55/16 tyres and Alpina 8×16” rear wheels with 225/45/16 tyres, Alpina front spoiler, Alpina rear spoiler, Alpina side skirts, Alpina and C2 2.7 badges, Alpina gear knob, Alpina steering wheel and Alpina numbered dash plaque
This Alpina blue, Alpina C2 2.7 is extremely well known to us, the last two owners being good friends. We have been responsible for the care of the car through our workshop for the last 10 years. These owners have ensured the car has wanted for nothing and had a no expense spared maintenance program including the all-important preventive maintenance. Now having covered 101,000 miles and featuring a 100% complete service history from new, we are now asked by the current owner to find the next lucky new owner.
The car will pass through the workshop for final preparation before hand over to the lucky new owner. This will include Inspection II service, new cambelt and pulley, PDI and a new MOT.
Handed over with this C2 2.7 will be the complete history file, including all original manuals, service wallet, fully stamped service book, build sheet, Alpina price list, document and invoice file, spare keys and all tools.
This exceptional example is the best we have seen for some years, having never fallen into the wrong hands and it is presented to the very highest standard.
Our Thoughts
This car has been maintained to the very highest level and represents one of the very best on the market.
