The E38 generation of the BMW 7 Series is revered by enthusiasts as the best looking and best driving model of all time. When combined with the prestige of ALPINA, the result is a highly desirable car, especially in the rare form of this blacked-out E38 B12.Â
This B12 has only 26,000 miles on it and was previously owned by Prince Jefri Bolkiah of the Brunei Royal Family; it is now for sale in the United Kingdom. The interior of the B12 is green and blue stitching, while the exterior is gold pinstriping, creating a stunning contrast.
Under the hood, the B12 boasts a modified 5.7-liter BMW V12 engine that produces 385 horsepower and can reach a top speed of 174 mph. It comes equipped with a five-speed “Steptronic” automatic transmission, featuring shift buttons on the steering wheel.
Only nine right-hand drive B12s were built, and this is the only one for sale. If you live in a right-hand drive market and want a piece of ALPINA history, this could be your chance to purchase the best-looking luxury sedan to ever wear the blue and white Roundel.
