The story of Alpina began in 1962 when it's founder Burkard Bovensiepen designed a Weber dual carburettor for the BMW 1500. From that point on, Alpina has been synonymous with bespoke luxury and performance variants of some of BMW's best driving cars, taking a more refined approach to BMW's M Division.For many people, the Touring is the ultimate expression of BMW and Alpina's partnership. In this case, the B3 starts with the BMW 3 Series Touring as the canvas, which then gets dispatched to Alpina for them to add their own flair. Beneath the bonnet lies a twin-turbocharged engine, a powerhouse that is mated with its a silky-smooth eight-speed automatic transmission. The B3 is fast and extremely agile with each Alpina being all-wheel drive, with rear wheel steering and standard 20-inch wheels. Even with 488bhp, the B3 Touring's drive is nothing short of astonishing even on British B-roads, with suspension that offers an unprecedented amount of comfort. The 488bhp 3L Twin-Turbo Inline-6 effortlessly accelerates the Alpina from 0-62mph in 3.7 seconds.
