1999 Alpina BMW B12 6.0 Conversion

Based on a BMW 850Ci Platinum Edition

A true unicorn among modern classics this 1999 Alpina BMW B12 6.0 conversion is a masterstroke of engineering and craftsmanship. Built on the foundation of a rare BMW 850Ci Platinum Edition, it represents the ultimate expression of the E31’s potential when guided by Alpina’s hand.

Rarity & Provenance
The Platinum Edition itself is an elusive find. Finished in a subtle Individual silver, it embodies late-90s BMW elegance at its finest. But this car goes far beyond factory specification it has been reimagined into a full Alpina B12 6.0 conversion, merging exclusivity with mechanical artistry.

Heart of an Alpina
Power comes from a genuine 6.0-litre V12 Alpina engine sourced from Japan, with only 39,000 km at the time of installation. Its character is smooth, refined, and deeply powerful, the signature of Alpina’s most respected era.

Manual Perfection
A brand-new Getrag 560G manual gearbox was fitted, the original transmission developed for BMW’s V12 engines. This pairing transforms the car into a driver’s machine, unleashing the full emotion of the twelve-cylinder experience.

Attention to Authenticity
Every element was executed to true Alpina standards:

SuperSprint exhaust system

Eisenmann tailpipes

Original Alpina speedometer

Authentic Alpina badges and decals

Original Alpina gear knob

Crafted by Experts in German Performance Engineering
The conversion was completed in Abu Dhabi by technicians with lifelong experience in high-performance German cars. Their precision and deep understanding of the E31 platform have produced a car that feels factory-built in every sense.

A Collectible Like No Other
With its Alpina V12 heart, manual gearbox, and Platinum Edition pedigree, this car stands alone. It’s not just a conversion, it’s a tribute to the most ambitious grand tourer of its era, reborn for the collector who values rarity, authenticity, and the soul of true engineering.
