1998 Alpina B6 Touring With 5-Speed Manual Can Be Yours For $13k

If you’re both an Alpina fan as well as an E36 BMW fan, then this Boston Green 1998 B6 Touring model might be something worth considering.

While the car features Alpina’s classic Boston Green with Gold graphics exterior and is mostly stock, the 5-speed manual gearbox and lowering springs were installed after the car left the factory.

Despite this BMW not being what you’d normally call a head-turner, most petrolheads will certainly recognize what they’re looking at the moment they spot it.

Aside from the paint job, the exterior also boasts Alpina aero bits, a black roof rack, 17-inch wheels and dual exhaust tips. Unfortunately, there are a few dings and scratches, all noted in the Bring a Trailer ad – which, by the way, states that the Eibach lowering springs weren’t added by the seller, but by the person who previously owned the car.

Inside, there are adjustable black leather sports seats with contrasting blue inserts that match the rear bench, a retractable cargo cover for the trunk, an aftermarket JVC CD player, plus features such as air conditioning, Alpina steering wheel and custom door sills.

Paired to the 5-speed manual transmission is a 2.8-liter inline-six with 83,000 miles (134,000 km) on the clock that puts out 237 HP (240 PS) and 216 lb-ft (293 Nm) of torque to the rear wheels, getting you from zero to 60 mph (96 km/h) in a little under 7 seconds.

The auction ends in a few hours, and the highest bid sits at US$12,500, so if you’re interested, you’d better hurry.
