The 2010 BMW ALPINA B3 S BiTurbo which was launched at this year’s Geneva Motor Show is now available in Great Britain.
The 2010 BMW ALPINA B3 S BiTurbo extracts power from a 3.0-litre straight 6-cylinder engine that delivers 400 horsepower @ 6,000 rpm and 540 Nm @ 4,500 rpm. At this power level the tuned German coupe is able to accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in 4.7 seconds with a top speed of 186 mph.
As far as fuel consumption and efficiency the 2010 BMW ALPINA B3 S BiTurbo returns 29.1 mpg in a combined cycle while CO2 emission levels are of 224 grams per Km.
Responsible for puting power to the ground is a 6-speed automatic gearbox, and the tuner announced that it’s first customer deliveries in UK will start in July.
Alpina press release :
Following its recent world debut at the Geneva Motor Show, the new
ALPINA B3 S Bi-Turbo is now available in the UK. Higher levels of output
and efficiency make the model’s unique edge in this rarefied market
sector even sharper.
The new B3 S reflects the ALPINA ethos of ultra high performance
combined with environmental consciousness. The 3 litre straight six now
yields an extraordinary 400hp at 6000 rpm and massive torque – 540 Nm at
4500 rpm. In Coupe form this delivers 0-62 in 4.7 seconds and 186 mph,
yet economy is improved (29.1 mpg combined) and CO2emissions lowered to
224 g/km.
The B3S is readily identified 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.
With switchable six-speed automatic transmission in Saloon, Touring,
Coupe and Convertible forms, the B3 S stays faithful to another ALPINA
manufacturing edict – that the sporting nature of its cars should not
compromise luxury, comfort and everyday usability.
First deliveries of the B3 S Bi-Turbo start in July with availability
through Sytner, UK concessionaires for ALPINA.
ALPINA GB, part of the Sytner Group, has been the sole UK importer
for ALPINA since 1983.
ALPINA has worked closely with BMW since 1961, with shared warranty
coverage since 1964.
ALPINA were registered as an automobile manufacturer to ISO standards in
1983.
