This BMW E32 7-Series got away, but there are more like it here.

This 1990 BMW Alpina B11 3.5 is a left-hand-drive example that was sold new in Japan and imported to Arizona in 2015, where it resided until being purchased by the seller in California three years ago. The car is #275 of 332 built on the E32 platform and finished in Diamantschwarz Metallic with gold Alpina graphics over a black leather interior. Power is provided by a naturally-aspirated 3.5L inline-six backed by a 4-speed automatic transmission, and features include 17″ Alpina wheels, a Continental stereo system, and more. Now showing 126k kilometers (~78k miles), this B11 3.5 is offered in California with factory removed parts, partial service records, a clean Carfax report, and a clean title in the name of the seller’s Montana LLC.

The interior features black leather upholstery with Alpina blue and green accent stripes on the seats, an Alpina steering wheel, and black carpets with Alpina-branded floor mats. The burl wood trim was refinished by Madera Concepts in Goleta, California approximately two years ago, and a placard on the dash shows that the car is the #275 of the 332 B11s built between 1987 and 1993. An aftermarket Continental stereo is installed, and the seller states the factory Blaupunkt head unit is included in the sale.
