BMW ALPINA B4 Ultra-rare

Unusually, the numbers are actually rising — up 3 (5.2%) over the past year, as imports and barn-finds rejoin the register faster than cars leave it. In all, the BMW ALPINA B4 is rarer than 64% of the 2,315 UK car models we track, putting it firmly in 2026's endangered class.
