This ultra-rare BMW now up for auction is peak E36 wagon.
As a boutique manufacturer, Alpina has been making BMWs more special since 1962.The Alpina B3 Touring is a hot little wagon, one that's had a manual transmission swap for extra fun.The car up for auction appears to be in excellent condition, but this 3-series has been driven, so the new owner shouldn't hesitate to do the same.Part of the challenge in owning a rare collector car can be the guilt associated with racking up too many miles.
Pretty much all Audi RS, BMW M, and Mercedes AMG models brought into Japan until the early 2000s were left-hand-drive.Alpina had a single Japanese importer at the time, Nicole Racing Japan. As a footnote, this company was founded by Nico Roehreke, a German who moved to Tokyo in 1969. His group of auto dealers still operates there and has grown to include two Rolls-Royce showrooms in Tokyo. And, yes, Nicole Racing still brings in Alpinas.
