The 40-year-old German tuner Alpina picked the Geneva Motor Show to unveil its latest creations and celebrate its age and wisdome. Amongst them, the best and most powerful F30 3 Series you can get while you're waiting for the release of the new M3, the B3 Biturbo.
The B3 has 410 HP and 600 Nm of torque coming out of the 3-liter inline 6-cylinder biturbo engine making it extremely fast and agile. The engine is hooked up to a 8-speed Sport-Automatic transmission that helps the sedan reach 100 km/h in 4.2 seconds and a top speed of 305 km/h.
A lot of exterior changes were done to the car in order to help out with the aerodynamic numbers and, let's face it, to make it look more attractive. However, this time we're interested in the interior of the car.
The interior has custom Alpina floor mats, Alpina Instruments, luxury Burled Elm wood trims, Dakota Leather upholstery with Alpina roundels in the seat backs, sport memory seats and many other improvements.
The main attraction as you get in the car is, without a doubt, the new display. It is made by Alpina and shows a couple of interesting facts as you drive it down the road, or even on a race track. It has a G-meter that shows you the maximum longitudinal and lateral acceleration you ever registered inside the car and other interesting facts like the engine water temperature, the engine oil temperature, the transmission oil temperature, the maximum speed and a nice graph of the boost the engine has at any given moment.
Furthermore, going through the options this new screen shows you you'll end up on one that even times your lap times and performances for a complete sporty feel. This really is an impressive sedan. Nice work Alpina!
