New review at GTspirit: Alpina B3S BiTurbo



Alpina is a renown marque in the automotive world of tuning. With 45-years of experience Alpina adds – and lets quote – ‘sensation to sports cars that already drive like a dream’. The latest member to the family is this coupé, called the Alpina B3S BiTurbo. And we had to find out what it is capable of!

Based on the standard and current BMW 3 Series, Alpina is offering a package available for Sedan, Coupe, Estate and Convertible. The main subject regarding the kit is based on improving the car’s performances, positioning itself between BMW’s 335i and M3. Additionally, the Germans offer exterior and interior enhancements giving the sports car distinct looks not losing the true BMW presence and giving him enough skills to attack its close relative, the BMW M3 E92.

The B3S BiTurbo debuted at this year’s Geneva Motor Show, back in March, following similar releases in the past few years. The BMW specialist from Buchloe – close to the home ground of Munich – decided to use the 3.0 liter petrol engine available in the current BMW 3 Series line-up as the main donor for the project. The tuned engine was outfitted within our Coupé test car and the main point of focus during the road test.

Thanks Mark, good stuff as always from you guys!!!

 

I would like to own a B3S if it was available in the US.

 

I feel the same way. I love these things - almost more than M cars because Alpina does an excellent job retaining a discreet styling approach.

One D3S or B3S Touring, please!
