BMW ALPINA B3 BITURBO SALOON TOURING COUPÉ CABRIO incl. ALL-WHEEL In ALPINA’s more than 40-year history of manufacturing automobiles, turbo-charged engines have consistently set enduring accents. Launched in 1989, the BMW ALPINA B10 Bi-Turbo is just one example of the cult status some of these automobiles achieved. In fact, ALPINA’s turbo-charging history began in 1978, based on the 5 Series and 6 Series of the day. ALPINA - the innovative automobile manufacturer from Buchloe - takes its next progressive step forward with the advent of the new B3 Bi-Turbo: turbo-charged powerplants are used for the first time in the current 3 Series model. “ GOOD THINGS come in THREES ” 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. The B3 Bi-Turbo line up presents itself in an hitherto unparalleled diversity, comprising a Saloon, Touring, Coupé and Convertible.

Genuss ohne Reue: Ungeachtet der hohen Leistung nimmt der neue BMW ALPINA B3 Bi-Turbo hinsichtlich seines Verbrauchs eine Spitzenstellung im Wettbewerbsvergleich ein T h e B 3 B I T U R B O Touring War ein familientauglicher Sportwagen bis dato für Sie ein Widerspruch? Der B3 Bi-Turbo Touring realisiert diesen vermeintlichen Spagat. Er erfüllt mit fünf Türen die Ansprüche an Komfort, den Familien zu schätzen wissen und erweist sich zugleich als idealer Freizeitpartner Die hohe Alltagstauglichkeit unterstreicht die Tatsache, dass auch auf der Rücksitzbank lange Reisen Vergnügen bereiten. Trotz dieser praktischen Nutzwerte ist er ein Garant für Fahrgenuss, Effizienz und außergewöhnliche Fahrleistungen T h e B 3 B I T U R B O C oupé The new BMW ALPINA B3 Bi-Turbo Coupé achieves the ideal: the most attractive 3 Series Coupé yet, impresses with outer and inner values – especially those svelte, elegant lines. A world-class athlete in multiple disciplines: in the sprint – at 0-100km/h in 4.8 sec – as well as in the marathon – with ranges of more than 300 miles, showcase the B3 Coupé’s best side. Audible enjoyment is provided by the quartett of endpipes and their fitting bass note. With a CW of 0.30, the slender chassis’ aerodynamic efficiency is better than that of many sports cars. It comes as no surprise then, that comparison drives between Buchloe’s newest 360 hp / 500 Nm creation and a certain new 420 hp super-sports-car from Ingolstadt, ended in a dead heat T he B 3 B I T UR B O C abrio 360 hp, 500 Nm – absurd in an convertible? The opulent torque of the turbo-charged inline six-cylinder guarantees a myriad of driving experiences – only limited by the driver‘s imagination. Especially alluring is the ability to cruise in relaxed fashion – far afield of any rev-limit orgies – a most pleasurable automotive stroll. This leaves time for open-top motoring. A mélange of fresh air, sweet smells and the finely-composed exhaust note – powerful, sonorous, but never intrusive. The fully-retractable hardtop proffers two worlds – as Cabrio, or with the hardtop closed, as a fully-functional, four-season automobile. At the touch of a button, the Cabrio becomes a Coupé, built so that one may enjoy relaxed, comfortable long-distance tours. The B3 Bi-Turbo’s intelligent all-wheel-drive uses BMW’s xDrive system as its technical basis. This dynamic control system distributes the engine’s power steplessly and variably to the front and rear axles The heart of this system is the electronicallycontrolled multi-plate clutch that reacts to changing driving and road conditions in milliseconds. The required information, such as wheel rpm, steering angle and throttle position, are supplied by the DSC sensors. The all-wheel-drive system’s functions go almost unnoticed by the driver, the B3 Bi-Turbo’s selfsteering properties indeed positively influenced by the instantly-variable shift of power, right up to the limit. If the system recognises under-steer or over-steer, even in their earliest stages, it will re-distribute the power to the axle that will help neutralise the condition. It is only at the limit that the ALPINAspecific DSC programme comes into play, with targeted intervention for maximum safety The B3 Bi-Turbo’s all-wheel-drive system feels far more agile and dynamic than those of its competitors. This drivetrain concept also supports a sporty driving manner. Experienced drivers will especially enjoy it BMW xDrive Lamellenkupplung © BMW Group on snow-covered roads, as the dynamic control can be stepped down to “DTC” or “DSC Off”, providing the good driver a certain level of “dynamic play”. Through it all, the intelligent all-wheel-drive system remains ever active har mo n i c SUSPENSION Immediately noticeable is the B3 Bi-Turbo’s lightfooted, extremely agile handling. The secret lies in an ideal 50/50 weight distribution between front and rear axles in combination with ALPINA’s neutral and supple suspension. Augmenting this agility are light-weight 18” ALPINA CLASSIC wheels shod with conventional MICHELIN tyres, 225/40 ZR18 front and 265/40 ZR18 rear, with a conscious choice having been made not to use heavy Run-Flat tyres. 19” wheels offer an even higher level of potential lateral acceleration – in either DYNAMIC or CLASSIC design. T he H E A RT. . . ... of the B3 Bi-Turbo offers 265 kW (360 hp) at 5,500 - 6,000 revolutions per minute, as well as maximum torque of 500 Nm from 3,800 - 5,000 rpm. The B3 Bi-Turbo’s engine has a sporty engine’s willingness to rev to 7,000 rpm. Equally as present but usually reserved for diesel engines, there is vigorous torque from 1,300 rpm onwards. The result: a powerband broader than ever before experienced, guaranteeing both sporty and bullish driving dynamics. Technically, this is all made possible due to the exceptional BMW base engine with injectors centrally located over the pistons – the state-of-theart in direct injection technology. For more than a year, ALPINA engineers researched, developed and tested, both on the engine test bench and on the road. Ever refining the ALPINA engine map to leverage all the advantages offered by modern direct injection, the potential inherent in the BMW basis was maximised. The use of extremely durable MAHLE pistons allows for a maximum boost of 1.1 bar with a 9.4:1 compression ratio. The result, peak specific values of 89 kW (121 hp) per litre and a maximum average pressure of 21 bar. PERFORMANCE AND TORQUE DIAGRAM BMW ALPINA B3 BITURBO AND AUDI S5 330 310 BMW ALPINA B3 Bi-Turbo 3,0l V6 265 kW (360 hp) at 5500 rpm 500 Nm at 3800 rpm 290 270 250 (source: brochure AUDI S5 3/07) 230 210 190 170 150 130 110 90 70 50 500 Torque EG (Nm) 400 300 200 100 0 0 1000 2000 3000 4000 5000 Engine speed (rpm) 6000 7000 8000 Power EG (kW) AUDI S5 4,2l -V8-FSI 260 kW (354 hp) at 7000 rpm 440 Nm at 3500 rpm T he SWI TC H -T RO N I C p u re P L E A S U R E . . . The BMW ALPINA B3 Bi-Turbo embodies pure driving enjoyment – whether cruising along or enjoying all 7,000 revs in each gear. The reason for the spontaneous responsiveness of the B3 Bi-Turbo is the ZF 6-speed sport automatic transmission with its very short shift sequences, which smoothly processes the power through the drivetrain without any uncomfortable interruption of forward momentum. The driver may also choose to shift manually at the wheel using bSWITCH-TRONIC, which contributes in no small part to both the awe-inspiring performance numbers and the ability to save fuel in top gear. Frugality and driving excitement are therefore not contradictory in the B3 Bi-Turbo. Driven by high torque means using sixth gear on the Autobahn is more than sufficient in almost all situations. finest M AT E R I A L S . . . The intense driving experience and the immediate bonding with the B3 Bi-Turbo are markedly influenced by fine materials and superior ergonomics. The standard leather interior features comfortablypadded sport seats with excellent lateral support, making long journeys a joy. The ALPINA SWITCH-TRONIC steering wheel falls perfectly to hand and affords a clear view of the typical ALPINA blue instruments with their red pointers. Next to the analogue speedometer, the B3 Bi-Turbo also provides a digital speed read-out as well as average fuel economy and instantaneous fuel economy figures – thrifty driving also creates driving pleasure. STANDARD / OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT Active headrests, front Airbags: driver and front passenger, front and side and ITS head airbags Air conditioning, automatic All wheel drive (xDrive) with Hill Descent Control (HDC) AUX-IN connection (auxiliary input connection for external audio players) Brake Energy Regeneration Centre armrest / console with storage compartments and cup holder, rear Child seat ISOFIX attachments, rear Cruise control with braking function Digital speedometer readout via Info Display in instrument cluster Door sills ALPINA Dynamic brake lights Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) incl.
