Long MOT
valid until February 2027 with no advisories; 116,592 miles from new; service
carried out by BMP Performance Ltd in February 2025.
This 2012 BMW Alpina D5 represents the perfect balance of understated
luxury, long-distance efficiency, and genuine performance engineering from
Alpina.
First registered in December 2012, this
example has covered 116,592 miles from new and has had 7 former keepers, with
the current owner acquiring the vehicle in May 2025. Finished in white with a
refined black leather interior, it carries the distinctive Alpina touches
throughout, including Alpina badging to the steering wheel, dashboard, and floor
mats, all contributing to its unique and exclusive character compared with the
standard BMW 5 Series on which it is based.
Under
the bonnet sits a 3.0-litre twin-turbocharged straight-six diesel engine paired
with an automatic transmission, delivering Alpina’s renowned blend of effortless
torque and high-speed capability. Producing approximately 347–350 bhp and a
substantial 516 lb-ft (700 Nm) of torque, the D5 is capable of accelerating from
0–62 mph in just 5.1 seconds, with a top speed of 171 mph, all while maintaining
impressive efficiency of around 47.9mpg.
This
particular example benefits from a strong maintenance history, including a
service carried out by BMP Performance Ltd in February 2025. It is supplied with
a selection of receipts documenting work completed over the years, six previous
MOT certificates, and its original handbooks. The vehicle also benefits from a
long MOT valid until February 2027, with no advisories
recorded.
Mechanically, the car presents well,
having been driven to site for photography and a short video, where it started,
stopped, and ran as expected, further supporting its usability and general
health.
The BMW Alpina D5 is increasingly
regarded as a modern classic, offering a rare combination of performance,
comfort, and long-distance capability in a discreet executive saloon. This
example, with its provenance, long MOT, and recent servicing, represents a
compelling opportunity for both collectors and enthusiasts
alike.
