The best comes last: ALPINA B7S E12
The ultimate E12 debuted after the official production stop
At that time, the newcomer to the ranks of car brands was called Alpina, because after 13 years of successful BMW optimization, Burkard Bovensiepen had made it from tuner to manufacturer with his own KBA number. If they had made wine at the time, their own corks would certainly have popped, but even so, just before the turn of the year 1978/79, the perfectionists presented a top-class cracker with the B7 Turbo.
And while BMW Motorsport GmbH didn't make a particularly big effort with the M535i to tip the scales clearly in the Munich-based company's favor, Alpina chief engineer Fritz Indra went all out. To do this, the performance-conscious inventor paired a lower-compression M30B30 with a K27 turbocharger from Kühnle, Kopp & Kausch. The custom-made breathing aid allowed boost pressures of 0.6 to 0.9 bar, resulting in 250 to 300 hp. The goal was achieved: the B7 Turbo, built in 149 units, shone as the fastest production sedan in the world with a top speed of 256 km/h.
One-shot wonders that had nothing to offer other than an abundance of power were already an absurdity for Alpina at the time, and so a ZF gearbox and a belt-driven oil pump for cooling the rear axle were introduced, as well as a 25 percent differential lock on request. First-class long-distance suitability was provided by an additional tank in the trunk, which increased the fuel capacity to 108 liters, which caused the current owner a bit of a shock when he filled up for the first time. The fuel gauge had not been adjusted and stopped at 70 liters. This meant that, depending on the driving style, the first 200 kilometers could be covered without "fuel consumption."

Of course, there was a more powerful chassis with the classic light alloys in the style of the company, as well as tires in 205/55 R16 at the front and 225/50 R16 at the rear, which even required wheel arch extensions. The decorative sticker set in gold or silver, the usual sports seats, leather steering wheel, wooden gear knob, footrest and production number sticker completed the standard equipment. After all that work, Alpina was not in a position to relax with its elbows on the edge of the window, because the Audi Quattro had appeared alongside the 911 Turbo, another serious boost bomber. But what was fun with three liters was even more fun with 3.5, and so after E12 production was discontinued in Germany, between November 1981 and May 1982, the Allgäu-based company followed up with the high-flyer B7 S Turbo, available from 75,000 DM. 330 hp, 500 Nm. Bam!
For this, Alpina put the M30B35 and K27 into a comparatively innocent 528i and did not forget the other B7 goodies such as the Pierburg Zenith DL injection, the Hartig AFT ignition and an intercooler. Special pistons and the ingenious resonance intake system according to Dr. Cser were also reinstated. It combined a dynamic pressure boost with the turbo to achieve maximum cylinder filling. The additional power had little chance against the rather suboptimal E12 aerodynamics despite the spoiler: the top speed of the 1,490 kg three-box only increased slightly to 260 km/h, but acceleration from 0-100 km/h improved by 0.7 to 5.8 s and from 0-200 km/h by 6.2 to 20.3 s. The Alpina B7 S Turbo was delivered exclusively in "dark sapphire blue metallic" and with gold war paint. The interior of the limited production run of 60 units was also uniformly decorated in the best Alpina quality and colors.
