    Eh, surely a new M3 would be a) cheaper and b) faster..?

    Judging by the concept I'd say it is. Bear in mind that probably sooner or later this will also be available as a Coupe.

    The M3 is restricted to 250kph (if you don't pay some extra money to the BMW M GmbH), this surely is not restricted.

    Also there is a difference in the philosophy of the BMW M cars and Alpinas:

    M cars are sportier and harder, Alpinas are faster, but with more comfort for long travels. So they are used for long drivings on the Autobahn here in Germany by some business-men, who don't like to get out of the car after 700kilometers with a bad back, like you can get in M models.

    So I would buy an Alpina and not an M, because I'm more often on the Autobahn than on any racetracks (where M cars surely are better).

    I dunno, I seem to be more inclined to the stock factory stuff. The twin turbo I-6 goes in the sedan anyway, so it should be plenty fast. I'll take one without I-Drive or Adaptive Steering please. Nice and simple.

    I usually don't like modified cars at all, but Alpinas are most definitely an exception. They really are my kind of car, fast but comfortable.

    BMW ALPINA B3 BITURBO

    For over thirty years now, ALPINA have been creating exclusive automobiles based on the BMW 3 Series, automobiles that aim to fulfill only the very highest demands. In the beginning of this continuing success story spanning over 6,000 units was the legendary 1978 BMW ALPINA B6 2.8 - revolutionary in its day due to its six cylinder engine.

    This success story is continued in a most prominent fashion by the BMW ALPINA B3 Bi-Turbo.

    Enjoyment, great attention to detail and a unique driving experience come together, creating a synergy of elegance and driving dynamics.

    The B3 Bi-Turbo line up presents itself in an hitherto unparalleled diversity, comprising a Saloon, Touring, Coupé and Convertible. See for yourself!
