Long MOT
valid until February 2027, with no advisories recorded; 116,592 miles from new;
service carried out by BMP Performance Ltd in February
2025.
This 2012 BMW ALPINA D5 represents the
perfect balance of understated luxury, long-distance efficiency, and genuine
performance engineering from Alpina.
First
registered in December 2012, this example has covered 116,592 miles from new and
has had 7 former keepers, with the current owner acquiring the vehicle in May
2025. Finished in white with a refined black leather interior, it carries the
distinctive Alpina touches throughout, including Alpina badging to the steering
wheel, dashboard, and floor mats, all contributing to its unique and exclusive
character compared with the standard BMW 5 Series on which it is
based.
Under the bonnet sits a 3.0-litre
twin-turbocharged straight-six diesel engine paired with an automatic
transmission, delivering Alpina’s renowned blend of effortless torque and
high-speed capability. Producing approximately 347–350 bhp and a substantial 516
lb-ft (700 Nm) of torque, the D5 is capable of accelerating from 0–62 mph in
just 5.1 seconds, with a top speed of 171 mph, all while maintaining impressive
efficiency of around 47.9 mpg.
This particular
example benefits from a strong maintenance history, including a service carried
out by BMP Performance Ltd in February 2025. It is supplied with a selection of
receipts documenting work completed over the years, six previous MOT
certificates, and its original handbooks. The vehicle also benefits from a long
MOT valid until February 2027, with no advisories recorded.
Mechanically, the car presents well, having been driven to site for
photography and a short video, where it started, stopped, and ran as expected,
further supporting its usability and general health.
The BMW ALPINA D5 is increasingly regarded as a modern classic,
offering a rare combination of performance, comfort, and long-distance
capability in a discreet executive saloon. This example, with its provenance,
long MOT, and recent servicing, represents a compelling opportunity for both
collectors and enthusiasts alike.
