This car is part of The Arizona Car Week Collection from 911r.
This 1988 BMW Alpina B7 Turbo/1 Katalysator, one of just 278 examples produced and among only 42 equipped with a catalytic converter, exemplifies Alpina’s mastery of high-performance luxury. Part of The Arizona Car Week Collection by 911r, this Diamond Black Metallic beauty combines rarity, performance, and history in a single package.
Originally built in October 1986 and registered in 1988, the car was imported from the Netherlands to the U.S. in 2021. It now shows 140k kilometers (~87k miles) and features meticulous maintenance and enhancements. Alpina’s extensive modifications to the 3.4-liter inline-six include lighter Mahle pistons, a revised camshaft, and a KKK turbocharger, resulting in 320 horsepower and 375 lb-ft of torque. Power is delivered to the rear wheels via a Getrag 265 dogleg five-speed manual transmission, and a replacement Alpina exhaust with dual sport catalytic converters was fitted under previous ownership.
The body is finished in stunning Diamond Black Metallic with replacement Alpina graphics, European-spec headlights, a power sunroof, and dual center-mounted exhaust tips. Alpina/Bilstein springs and dampers paired with M5-spec four-piston disc brakes ensure precise handling and stopping power.
Inside, the heated black leather sport seats, rear sunshade, Blaupunkt Bremen SQR 46 DAB head unit, and Alpina-branded instrumentation offer both luxury and functionality. The four-spoke Alpina steering wheel and wooden shift knob complete the refined cabin.
Included with the sale are a delivery confirmation certificate from Alpina Classic, factory build sheets, Dutch inspection reports, and a complete tool kit.
With its turbocharged performance, rare specifications, and luxurious features, this Alpina B7 Turbo/1 is an exceptional opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts seeking a standout piece of BMW history at Arizona Car Week 2025.
