When it comes to some cars, you’re really only to absorb just how special it is once you see it in person. This 1985 BMW Alpina B7 Turbo from @autosportdesigns is a perfect example of something that you simply must see for yourself. Believed to be 1 of just 4 total examples currently residing in the United States, and is car number 66 of just 236 examples manufactured and built by Alpina from 1984 until 1987. The 1985 Alpina B7 is powered by a 300+ hp 3.0L inline-6 cylinder engine, which was of course heavily tuned and upgraded by German automobile manufacturing company, Alpina. The car is said to able to achieve a 0-60mph time of less than 6 seconds and a top speed of around 170mph, which is quite impressive even by today’s standards given the size and year of the car. The interior of this unique example is all-original and features Aplina-striped Recaro seats, a leather-covered dashboard, a MOMO steering wheel, and a beautiful wooden shift knob. A plaque found on the interior confirms this cars rarity and exclusivity, proving to be any BMW enthusiasts dream machine. The car is finished in an extremely unique color known as ‘177 Achatgruen Metallisch’ over a black velour Alpina interior with black carpeting, and shows just about 97,000 miles on the odometer. Although this car is now sold, you can learn about more details of this 1 of 4 in the US BMW on @autosportdesigns website, Autosportdesigns.com, where you can find the full listing for this car as well as all of the other cars currently listed in the inventory!
