Description: Alpina has been in the business of making BMWs go faster since the days of the BMW 1500. Over time it has become a registered motor manufacturer and moved from a virtual speed shop operation to producing complete cars. The brainchild of Burkard Bovensiepen, the company is still under his control, although his three children each now own 10% of the company. This book tells the story of the company from its beginnings, when Bovensiepen turned to the BMW 1500 after his modified Fiat 1500 broke its crankshaft, to the successful world wide operation of today. It is a must read for any BMW or Alpina fan.
