Alpina Burkard Bovensiepen GmbH<\/strong>\u00a0is an automobile manufacturing company based in Buchloe, in the Ostallg\u00e4u district of Bavaria, Germany that develops and sells high-performance versions of BMW cars.<\/p>

Alpina works closely with BMW and their processes are integrated into BMW's production lines, thus Alpina is recognized by the German Ministry of Transport as an automobile manufacturer, in contrast to other performance specialists which are aftermarket tuners.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Burkard Bovensiepen describes his philosophy:\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u201cI\u2019m a man of simple tastes. I\u2019m always satisfied with the best\u201d<\/p>

Inspired by this quote from Oscar Wilde, powered by the will to turn something good into something individual and driven by a great passion for automobiles, I started out at my father\u2019s former typewriter factory to develop a power enhancing multi-carburettor unit for the BMW 1500, and I called it the \u201cALPINA unit\u201d.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

What was eyed by my father rather with mistrust in the day, turned out to become - thanks to the trust put into me by BMW back then - the starting point of a success story.<\/p>

Between 1968 and 1977, Alpina cars did very well in competition. The highlight was in 1970, when the team's cars won the European Touring Car Championship, the German Hillclimb Championship, rally and track racing championships and the prestigious Spa 24 Hours.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

These vehicles are likely the most renowned individual automobiles based on BMW cars, and have been developed and produced at the small autonomous family business, in friendly cooperation with BMW, for more than 50 years. The love for details is always eminent in this process.

The close cooperation with BMW is the basis for ALPINA\u2019s continued success: it\u2019s what empowers the creation of products that are highly individual while at the same time meeting the stringent quality and safety standards that apply to large-scale production cars.<\/p>
