Alpina B8 Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1977–1980) — First Generation
The first generation of the Alpina B8 combines the appeal of a sports sedan with everyday practicality, giving you room for passengers alongside an engaging driving experience.
One powertrain example is the 3.2 MT, which pairs a gasoline engine with a manual transmission and rear-wheel drive. You control gear selection and clutch engagement, adding involvement on an open road but requiring more work in traffic. The drivetrain sends engine power to the rear wheels.
