1982 Alpina C1 2.3

It seems we often list multiple cars from the same seller; in some cases, that’s simply because they have the best examples that are available. EAG and Sloan Cars are great examples of this, amongst many. However, there’s a second tier of cars that we feature – eye candy that lies abroad and would be more difficult to procure. Such is the case with dealers like 4Star in England who seemingly has an endless supply of incredible examples of cars we all want. I think, however, that we need to add “ExoticCarsJapan” to the list, since this is now the third successive Alpina and fourth BMW I’ve written up from them. However, unlike the two previous E28 5-series B9s, today’s example is quite a rare example – a 1982 C1 2.3 E21:

How rare is the Alpina C1? That’s a great question; however it should be notable that the Alpina Archive currently has none and doesn’t even list how many were produced. Perhaps that’s because the C1 didn’t hold the performance that the B6 2.8 E21 model did, but it did sit nicely in-between BMW’s own 323i model and the B6. I did manage to track down an Alpina brochure listing the details of the C1 2.3; it received many of the same upgrades as the B6 such as suspension, bodywork and interior, but had its own unique 170 horsepower version of the 2.3 inline-6 instead of the 2.8 unit from the E12/E28. This particular example looks as though it’s been used at the track some judging by the pseudo-harnesses, but presents well. The big letdown is perhaps the automatic transmission. However, ultimately that doesn’t seem to have slowed bidding much as this example rests around $20,000 with a few days to go – before it’s even imported to the U.S.. Of course, as the saying goes – find another. If you really want an Alpina C1 2.3 in original configuration, this is one of the very few opportunities.
