1978-1983 BMW Alpina C1 / B6 E21 photo gallery

ALPINA's range took off where many others would finish, with a modified version of the BMW 323i. The engine was the standard overhead camshaft in-line six with the compression ratio lifted from 9.5:1 to 10:1. With special pistons and a re-worked cylinder-head which housed a new camshaft, it produced 125 kW (170 hp at 6000 rpm instead of 105 kW (143 hp at 5800).
