The BMW 335i-based Alpina B3 S Bi-Turbo is not just your usual run-of-the-mill modified Bimmer. Alpina are in fact registered as an automobile manufacturer, and as such all their cars are registered and sold as Alpina's, not BMW's. Compared to cars from BMW's own performance division, BMW M, Alpina's vehicles have more emphasis on luxury, higher torque, and have automatic transmissions instead of manual or semi-automatic transmissions. Anyway enough company background information.
The Alpina B3 S Bi-Turbo is powered by a 3.0 litre inline 6-cylinder engine which is boosted by two turbochargers. This engine produces 400 hp @ 6,000 rpm (that's nearly 100 hp up on the 335i), and a massive 540 Nm (398 lb ft) of torque @ 4,500 rpm. The 0-60 sprint is completed in just 4.7 seconds, and thanks to the removal of the electronic speed limiter, top speed is a supercar-like 186 mph.
The Alpina B3S Bi-Turbo is set apart by a redesigned front spoiler and a new rear diffuser which encloses the tailpipes, reducing lift and ensuring optimum engine cooling. The ALPINA Classic alloy wheels get the new design treatment seen on the latest B7.
