Continent-Crushing Alpina D5 S for Sale
Alpina as we knew it is long gone. The oil-burning D5 S is a fabulous reminder of what made it great.
When we talk about last-of-the-line cars to buy and wrap in cotton wool, it’s typically something low in weight and high in fuel consumption, powered by the kind of atmospheric petrol engine soon to be strangled into extinction by emission legislation.
These mid-sized saloon cars with a 3.0-litre diesel engine are not currently in short supply, unless they were made by Alpina. Buchloe’s production numbers tend to make special edition Ferraris look mass-produced.
This particular D5 S is an LCI model from 2023, meaning that when the vendor talks of ‘a few’ making it to the UK, it really can be taken at face value.
