About this Collectable

A very fast and exclusive car, which is at the same time practical and comfortable? With the Alpina B3 Biturbo Touring you don't have to make any compromises. This example is finished in the very stylish colour Havanna Metallic, with upholstery in Saddle Brown.

BMW has finally announced the first M3 Touring, but all the previous generations missed out on this version, including the F31. The fastest petrol version that BMW offered before the facelift was the 335i. Fortunately, you can always count on Alpina.

Alpina thoroughly overhauled the 335i, which resulted in the B3 Biturbo Touring. Instead of 326 hp and 450 Nm, the straight-six now delivers 410 hp and 600 Nm of torque. This almost on the level of the M3. The Alpina even has 50 Nm more torque than the M3.

Alpina managed to do this by replacing the turbo with two turbos as well as a range of other adjustments. The result is an incredibly fast station wagon that reaches 100 km/h in 4,4 seconds and has a top speed of 300 km/h. Alpina does not limit at 250 km/h.

In accordance with the Alpina philosophy, the B3 is incredibly fast, but not as hardcore as a BMW M model. That makes the Alpina B3, especially as a Touring, the ultimate choice if you are looking for a fast and practical daily driver.

Of course, a B3 is more sporty than a regular 3-series. For example, the car is equipped with adaptive dampers and Eibach springs that are 45% stiffer. The B3 also sounds a bit more aggressive, thanks to the Akrapovič exhaust that is fitted from factory.

The appearance of the Alpina B3 reflects the character of the car. The car looks a bit more aggressive than a normal 3-series, but it is still a stylish car. The front bumper, the four exhausts, the blue brake calipers and the beautiful multi-spoke rims are the main features by which the Alpina can be recognized.

This car is finished in a stylish colour: Havanna Metallic, combined with a two-tone interior in Saddle Brown and black. The details in piano lacquer finish it off. This Alpina B3 Biturbo Touring is one of the first examples produced, number 15 to be precise. The car was originally delivered in Germany and has been in the Netherlands since 2019, where the car is currently in the hands of the third owner.
