The B3 Biturbo is based on the 335i model and its 3-liter 6-cylinder petrol engine. The original BMW N55 engine had 306 HP and 400 Nm of torque. The Alpina conversion takes it to 410 HP and 600 Nm of torque. That's the most powerful BMW 3 Series available while we wait for the M3.

The engine is hooked up to a 8-speed Sport-Automatic transmission with Alpina Switch-tronic and is now sitting on Alpina sport suspension for the sheer driving experience you should experience in a BMW.

The exterior design has been changed due to Alpina's own aerodynamic kit which includes new front and rear spoilers, two elliptical double tailpipes and the usual Alpina Classic 20" wheels. The exhaust system has been developed in collaboration with Akrapovic for the ultimate sound and performance.

The performance figures are impressive, the B3 Biturbo reaching 100 km/h from a dead start in 4.2 seconds and going all the way up to a top speed of 305 km/h. The fuel consumption figures for the Saloon and the Touring are almost the same: 7.6 l/100km for the Saloon and 7.7 l/100 km for the Touring, whilst the CO2 emission are almost identical (177 and 179 g/km).

Furthermore Alpina ever offers the 2 new models with all-wheel drive if requested, using their own 4WD system called Allrad.
