With the introduction of the E30 3-series, Alpina phased out the previously popular four cylinder engines and focused their efforts on the small-block six-cylinder models. All of these cars were based on the same platform with different versions of the same basic engine. <\/p>\n
In 1986, BMW introduced the 190hp E30 M3. This meant the C1 2.5<\/a> was no longer competitive. Alpina responded by introducing the C2 2.7 with 210hp; this was achieved by increasing the stroke by using the crankshaft of the 325e.<\/p>\n
In 1987, Alpina also introduced the C2 2.7 Allrad. This was the first 4WD Alpina model.
\nAdditionally, the C2 2.7 Katalysator with catalytic convertor and 204hp was introduced.<\/p>\n
Despite its high price, the C2 2.7 was popular and featured in many magazines tests – often in conjunction with the BMW M3. The C2 2.7 resulted in a number of spin-off models including the Japan-only B6 2.7<\/a><\/u> and the 325iS<\/a><\/u> model for BMW South Africa.<\/p>\n
Between 1986 and 1988, in total 108 examples of the C2 2.7 and 52 examples of the C2 2.7 Katalysator were produced.<\/p>\n
