Formidable Force
-
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN German automakers Alpina and BMW began in the 1960s after an ambitious craftsman by the name of Burkard Bovensiepen decided to boost the horsepower of his own 80hp BMW 1500 by introducing a Weber twin carburettor. The souped-up 1500 eventually got BMW’s attention and in 1964, Bovensiepen’s subsequent creations were officially certified with its company warranty. The next year, Bovensiepen established Alpina, which he continues to run with his two sons today.
