Car of the week: BMW ALPINA B5 GT Touring in Imola Red
23/05/2026
These are cars that make you open the listing three times, just to check if it is actually real.
This week’s Car of the Week is exactly that kind of car: a 2023 BMW ALPINA B5 GT Touring, finished in Imola Red II, showing just 620 kilometres and offered at €185,000 excl. VAT. Yes, 620 kilometres. No, that is not a typo.
This is not just a fast BMW estate with nice wheels. This is one of the final true ALPINAs from Buchloe. One of just 250 B5 GT models built. A 634 hp V8 Touring that combines supercar pace, old-school craftsmanship and that typical ALPINA confidence: quiet when it wants to be, devastating when it needs to be.
The last proper ALPINA recipe
The B5 GT feels important because it sits at the end of a very specific story. For decades, ALPINA did something almost nobody else could do. They took BMW’s best foundations and made them faster, more comfortable, more elegant and somehow more special, without turning them into loud caricatures.
The B5 GT is the final evolution of that philosophy. Under the bonnet sits the familiar 4.4-litre V8 biturbo, here tuned to 634 hp and 850 Nm. That means 0 to 100 km/h in around 3.4 seconds and a top speed close to 330 km/h. In a Touring. That remains completely ridiculous in the best possible way.
Imola Red makes it dangerous
Most ALPINAs look discreet. This one? This one is different. Imola Red II gives the B5 GT Touring a completely different attitude. It still has the ALPINA elegance, but now with a bit more drama. A bit more temptation. A bit more “how on earth is this still for sale?”
Combined with the signature ALPINA forged wheels and the full leather BMW Individual interior with Walnut Anthracite, it becomes a very rare mix: emotional on the outside, old-money inside, violently fast underneath. Exactly how a great ALPINA should be.

AutoNext Take
We will not even pretend to be neutral here. As BMW ALPINA fans ourselves, this is exactly the kind of car that makes us weak. The B5 GT Touring is not the obvious choice, and that is precisely why it is the better one. Everyone understands an M5. Fewer people truly understand an ALPINA. But the ones who do, know.
