ALPINA RECYCLING
Your BMW ALPINA is part of an all-embracing recycling concept. Recycling demands are already considered early in the development process of a BMW ALPINA. An example of
this is in the selection of materials – they are chosen, such that they are environmentally friendly and easily recyclable, using a minimum of resources to do so. Every BMW ALPINA
is built so that it is easily and cost-effectively recyclable at the end of its useable life span. All this occurs in close co-operation between BMW and ALPINA. BMW Group have built
a European-wide redemption and recycling infrastructure, and require high quality and environmental standards. For return of your automobile for the purposes of recycling, please
contact your BMW ALPINA partner. They are ready to help. For further information about recycling firms and redemption locations, please see www.bmw.com

The models illustrated in this brochure may show the specifications of vehicles produced for Germany or another market. In part, the specifications include optional equipment
and accessories not fitted as standard. According to the specific requirements of other markets or countries, alterations in models, standard and optional equipment may occur.
Not all model versions, for example all-wheel drive, may be available in your market or country. This is a translation of the original German brochure which fulfils the requirements
of German law. All technical data in this brochure apply to the German market, additional international units of measure shown in the technical data for the purposes of information
