Some other attractive vehicle at the ALPINA exhibit in Geneva was the facelifted version of the ALPINA B3 South Cabriolet. Based on the BMW 335i, the BMW ALPINA B3 S Bi-Turbo combines improved performance and torque with reduced fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.

B3 Due south Bi-Turbo uses a modified iii.0 liter twin-turbo directly six engine that delivers 400 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 540Nm or 398.iii lb-ft of peak torque. The 0-62mph (100km/h) sprint takes iv.7 seconds for both the saloon and coupe models which are also capable of achieving a superlative speed of 186mph or 300km/.

The dynamic appearance of the B3 S Bi-Turbo is in role defined by the modern and functional forepart spoiler. Engineered using the newest developments in aerodynamic blueprint, the spoiler reduces lift at the front and enables optimal air flow to the high performance cooling organization. The B3 Southward carries a new rear valance which communicates a tasteful sporting charm through its integrated rear diffusor and two distinctive double-ended frazzle pipes.

Within, the usual ALPINA pattern cues heighten the already elegant look of a three Series vehicle. Special leather and trim increase the level of luxury, while paw-stitched steering wheel is another ALPINA trademark.

The ALPINA B3 S BiTurbo is only available in Europe.
