E39 B10 V8/1 advice

Post by archerkz » Sat Nov 07, 2020 6:10 pm

Hello everyone, I am the proud owner of Alpina B5 and Alpina B10 3.3. At the moment I am considering buying a B10 V8/1. Can you please tell me what is the difference of this model V8/1 from the usual V8 and V8s? I just can't find more information and hope the connoisseurs of these cars on the forum will help me figure it out.

The main difference between a V8 and a V8/1 is that the /1 is based on the facelift/LCI version of the E39. The revised engine (347bhp) was fitted in the V8 cars from 1999 onwards (somewhere around #485-490 is the cut over) as well as all the V8/1’s.

I found one in Kazakhstan, it turned out to be damaged and poorly restored. After watching, I abandoned the idea of ​​buying it.
