Rare 1988 E30 Alpina C2 2.7 goes to auction

More powerful than the BMW E30 M3

A rare silver BMW E30 Alpina C2 2.7 from 1988 vintage will be sold on April 12 by Silverstone Auctions in Birmingham, UK. The car is actually more powerful than the E30 M3 but is expected to find its new owner for a smaller price. Currently E30 M3s are valued in the $30,000 - $130,000 (21,750 - 94,250 EUR) range.

The Alpina E30 has an upgraded 2.7-liter petrol engine, sending 210 HP to the rear wheels. This could easily accelerate you from 0 to 100 km/h (0-60 mph) in 6.9 seconds with top speed reaching 225 km/h (140 mph).
