Alpina B9 Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1981–1985) — First Generation
The first-generation Alpina B9 is a high-performance sedan aimed at drivers who want four-door practicality with a more sporting character. This page covers that generation and its Sedan bodies.
The Alpina B9 engine in this generation is a gasoline unit with a manual transmission, as in the 3.4 MT sedan. That powertrain uses a rear-wheel-drive drivetrain, so you get a more involving feel than in a typical family saloon. Treat this layout as an example, not the full lineup.
