More than I expected too, but still a great buy for someone IMO.

Highest ive seen an Alpina Touring fetch for yet. The green one in Calgary sold for $4,400 CDN. However red is WAY sexier! I can see why it fetched what it did.

Wow! Only 12k kms!!!

[Stirling]

What do people do with their cars over there??? Not even close to 1,000 km a year?

Seems crazy to me to buy a car and just let it sit like that.

Those Recaros are the best Alpina seats of that generation. Better than the Sport seats and much better than the M3 "Vaders" IMO.

Yeah, I don't know why you'd go out and spend a bunch of money on a car and then never drive it. With kms that low it's probably still with the original owner as well.

B6 touring....really wanting to put a bid on this but I REALLY don't have any space and the prices for Alpina's and M3's have been really high the last while, so I probably wouldn't be close to winning it anyway Although I think the Euro has been falling, so maybe that will help prices.
