Look up your Alpina

Example — from a real report

Descriptions use Alpina's factory terminology. A typical report lists 60–150 codes.

Buying a used Alpina

Verify the spec in the advert against the factory record — original paint, factory options, and whether the advertised package is genuine.

Selling with confidence

A documented factory spec supports your asking price — desirable factory options are worth showing, not claiming.

Restoration & parts

Order the right parts first time and return a project car to its exact original specification, down to the trim code.

Insurance & valuation

Agreed-value policies and specialist valuations often ask for proof of factory options — the build sheet is that proof.

Which Alpina models are covered?

Factory build data is available for B3, B4, B5, D3 and XB7, among others. Coverage varies by model year and delivery market — the free preview confirms availability for your exact VIN before you pay.

Can it verify a genuine Alpina conversion?

Yes — genuine Alpinas are built and numbered at Buchloe, and the factory record reflects the Alpina specification rather than a standard BMW with cosmetic parts. The build sheet is the fastest way to check before buying.

What are the S option codes?

Factory options are recorded as S-prefixed codes in the production record. Your build sheet lists every code against your VIN with the factory description — the definitive record of original equipment.

Do I need the VIN, or will the UK reg work?

Either works. For UK-registered cars the reg is enough — we resolve the VIN automatically. For imports or unregistered vehicles, use the 17-character VIN.

Is service history available for Alpina?

Not currently — the Service History add-on covers selected manufacturers only. For Alpina, the Factory Specification PDF is available on its own. See pricing for details.

Where does the data come from?

Directly from official manufacturer build records, keyed to your VIN — the same data a franchised Alpina dealer sees. It can't be edited by a seller and doesn't rely on paperwork surviving.
