ALPINA B10 BI-TURBO

1989-1994

Price £30,000-£50,000

Any E34-gen M5 – 3.4 or 3.8 – is an enchanting device and you can also find these cars in Touring form, but Alpina’s take on the ultra-quick, early1990s 5 Series is perhaps even better. Turbocharging made the 360bhp B10 Bi-turbo the most powerful 5 of its time and the chassis revisions, we said then, made the car “immensely satisfying to drive hard”. High pricing held the B10 back at the time but around £40k looks fair money at the moment.
