Product Overview

Alpina B10 Touring E39 is an executive station wagon in production from 1998 to 2004. It was available with a range of inline-6 and V8 engines that displaced 3.3 to 4.8 liters.
Based on BMW's wildly successful E39 5 Series, the E39 B10 Touring had several engines options, including a 3.3 model based on the 528i and a couple of V8 models based on the 540i. The engines were bored to increase the displacement and power.
The vehicles received, as usual, the "Alpina treatment", including nice Alpina wheels, stronger drivetrain internals, and styling elements.
