Background: The Alpina C1 2.3 was among the first true performance models developed by Alpina in collaboration with BMW – a precision-focused machine built on the already capable E21 323i.
With 170bhp from a reworked 2316cc straight-six and hallmark Alpina handling upgrades, the C1 offered a distinctly motorsport-derived driving experience with genuine everyday usability.
Built in very limited numbers and were available only through Sytner in the UK, who were (and still are) the official UK importers, the C1 2.3 is now a highly desirable collector’s item.
Each car was individually numbered and adorned with Alpina-specific details – from the signature body stripes and alloys to the bespoke interiors, steering wheels, gear knobs, and instrument clusters.
Few remain today in unrestored, original form.
The Car: This rare Alpina C1, number 1277, was supplied new by Sytner Nottingham on 1st November 1984 and personally handled by noted Sytner's in-house Alpina specialist Gary Lott.
