Owner and Head of Sales & Marketing of Alpina, Andreas Bovensiepen, introduces and explains the new Alpina B3 and XD3 models in these first videos of Alpina's two newest models.

The Alpina B3 is based on the F30 335i sedan and the XD3 on the X3 xDrive35d SAV, each recently making a showing at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show.

The Alpina B3 bi-turbo features 410hp, which propels the B3 sedan from 0-62mph in 4.2 sec (4.0 sec for xDrive model) and the B3 touring in 4.3 sec (4.1 sec for xDrive model). It consumes only 7.9 l/100km (29.8 MPG U.S.).

The Alpina XD3 boasts 350hp and covers 0-62mph in just 4.9 seconds.

Full tech specs and photos from the recently concluded Geneva motor show.

Isn't the XD3 based on the X3 xDrive 35d ?

KN| BMW · 03-22-2013, 07:39 AM

Why dont they make another colour instead of blue?? Lol

SedateMe · 03-22-2013, 07:55 AM

Those are some seriously impressive power figures. Especially with that low of fuel consumption. I'm assuming this is an extensively reworked N55 in the B3 right?

I do want the station wagon !

Yes i said it! The Station Wagon ! ME DO WANT!

Dackelone · 03-22-2013, 08:39 AM

I would be happy to take either car. But the Alpina XD3 really appeals to me.

The Alpina Blue and Alpina Green are their trademark colors. Alpina Tradition. Just as the stripes are.

When you buy an Alpina... its made to order. Like a taylored suit. Alpina will build your car in any color you want. Its all up to you.

Yes, typo. Fixed and thanks

BMWags · 03-22-2013, 10:20 AM

And neither of these are available in Canada or the US?

Die Wolfe · 03-22-2013, 11:27 AM

Damn, an X series Alpina?! This is awesome! Those wheels would look pretty badass on my current X5M too...hmmmm

Agamemnon · 03-22-2013, 11:38 AM

Great car - no doubt! Not really a fan of the Alpina wheels - a little too yesterday. I also never cared for their pinstriping. I know this is a trademark of Alpina but I feel it makes their cars look a little dated. Alpina's engineering is absolutely top drawer and shows what a great platform the 3 series is.

i001947 · 03-22-2013, 11:43 AM

I'm so confused with all of these variations. Why?

lmaleke · 03-22-2013, 12:50 PM

The electronic gauge on the B3 nice

it shows boost, EGT, pressures (oil for sure, perhaps fuel and wideband as well?). Super cool

. Else, one can go either the 3D (needles) or P3 (electronic)

vladberca · 03-22-2013, 12:59 PM

Alpina is a great addition to the current BMW line up and is very exclusive too.

Related to performances

AndreyATC · 03-22-2013, 01:54 PM

Is Alpina XD3 ever coming to US?

Yeah the Alpina B3 TCU flash allows for improved mpg and quicker shifting in sport and manual mode, in addition to rev matching while downshifting

For the diesel... could be.. But then again, it depends if Alpina sees a credible business/demands...

lmaleke · 03-23-2013, 02:57 AM

Anyone got any info on the wheels spec on the B3? Trying to find out on their ET set up for 20" on the B3

Lost · 03-24-2013, 01:07 PM

Impressive numbers. So Alpina seas the need of a high performance wagon but BMW doesn't???!!!

Common. Where is the M3 wagon???
