And in general there were only 28 vehicles from the E7 Alpina B278 Turbo. And vehicle number 1 of the Turbo/3 specification is currently supported by the Enthusiast Auto Group (WEEE) offered for sale. EAG is based in Cincinnati (Ohio/America) and they are known for the fact that their vehicles are sometimes in better condition than when they left the factory.

It shows in the color Black Blue Metallic and in the cabin is one black leather interior to see.

It has only run 59.345 miles and is being driven by a 3,5-litre turbocharged straight-six and mighty 320 PS (316 hp) and 520 Nm torque driven.
