The new BMW ALPINA D3 Bi-Turbo

The BMW ALPINA D3 Bi-Turbo sets whole new standards of performance and efficiency in the segment of sporty and luxurious vehicles powered by diesel. The 3-litre straight-six engine with Bi-Turbo charging produces 257 kW (350 hp) and 700 Nm torque and delivers impressive performance in the compact, agile body of the multi-award winning BMW 3 Series.
With the introduction of the 2016 Model Year the BMW ALPINA D3 Bi-Turbo participates in the BMW model update and also sees a number of ALPINA specific changes in design and equipment.
The front features a new spoiler and a chrome BMW kidney grill, both accentuate the dynamic appearance and exclusive design. The new LED headlights are extremely efficient and provide even better illumination of the road, their design underlines the sporty, aggressive stance of the D3 Bi-Turbo. The two twin tailpipes are elegantly integrated into the re-designed rear apron, above which the new LED rear lights are clearly visible.


High quality materials, new surface elements and subtle design changes dominate the interior. The standard equipment now features Cruise Control, Park Distance Control and Storage Package for added security and comfort.

SALOON

The D3 Bi-Turbo Saloon accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.6 seconds and reaches a top speed of 276 km/h. This makes the a combined fuel consumption of only 5.3 l/100 km and 139 g/km CO2 based on the ECE norm all the more astonishing. With this automobile, ALPINA again redefines the benchmark for performance, combining extraordinary power output and excellent efficiency with familiar ALPINA virtues appreciated by our customers worldwide, and presents a car that currently knows no equal.

TOURING

The D3 Bi-Turbo Touring combines extraordinary performance and excellent efficiency with a high level of versatility for everyday and family use. Its large cruising range, generous power reserves and functional stowage space make it a sporty, luxurious all-rounder – optionally also available with all-wheel drive. Despite all this practicality, the D3 Bi-Turbo Touring will accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.6 seconds and reach a top speed of 274 km/h. The combined fuel consumption measured to ECE norm is just 5.4 l/100 km and 142 g/km CO2.
Powertrain



The 3-litre six cylinder Bi-Turbo diesel engine sets standards in terms of power, torque and efficiency. The outstanding base engine from BMW is constructed entirely from light-weight aluminium and features latest-generation common rail direct fuel injection as well as a two-stage turbocharging with variable turbine geometry. Effective optimisation of pressure losses and special intake air ducts exploit the full engine potential and lead to significant gains in power output and enhanced engine characteristics. By also utilising the achievable boost and injection pressure a maximum power output of 257 kW (350 hp) at 4000 rpm and an impressive 700 Nm of torque between 1500 and 3000 rpm is achieved. The throughput of the cooling system has a major influence on the performance of turbocharged engines. Full power delivery even under the highest thermodynamic loads is ensured by the high-performance cooling package, which comprises a large-volume intercooler with optimised intake and outlet ports as well as two radiators located in front of the wheel arches for optimum effectiveness. Despite its impressive performance characteristics and high specific power output, this drivetrain is also extremely economical. Long cruising ranges are achieved effortlessly thanks to a combined fuel consumption measured according to ECE norm of only 5.3 to 6.6 l/100 km and CO2 emissions of 139 to 174 g/km, depending on the model.


D3 Bi-Turbo Touring with all-wheel drive

The all-wheel drive system uses the technical possibilities of the BMW xDrive system, whose intelligent and dynamic control system distributes output smoothly and fully variably between the front and rear axles in milliseconds, thereby ensuring maximum traction and superior performance in all driving situations. The torque distribution control system, which is interconnected with the engine management and chassis control systems, is performance-oriented. It significantly increases driving dynamics and agility, particularly during high lateral acceleration and guarantees sporty and neutral handling. Besides ensuring optimal traction during acceleration by preventing slip-related losses, the system also permanently monitors the driving conditions and actively distributes torque to always ensure a high degree of propulsion and safety at all times, e.g. on snow or road surfaces with abrupt changes in the friction coefficients.

Exhaust System

The construction and design of the exhaust system, made from high-quality materials, guarantees an elegant look and emotional acoustics foregoing the need for technical compromises. The silencer volume is reduced to a minimum in order to optimise the exhaust gas flow characteristics and to reduce weight. Simultaneously the exhaust system produces a pleasingly rich sound for a diesel vehicle, particularly at higher engine speeds. Downstream of the middle silencer, the specific pipe routing is realised in stainless steel and ends in the two elliptical twin tailpipes typical for ALPINA, with discreet ALPINA and Akrapovič lettering.

Ma veramente c'è qualcuno che compra le Alpina?

Ma che senso ha?

certo sono rassicuranti queste elaborazioni visto l'elevato grado di affidabilità dei recenti motori bmw 

A parte che costa come una M3 questa ha il 3000 diesel quindi grossi problemi non dovrebbe averne o sbaglio?

Sinceramente, le Alpina, le ho sempre trovate affascinanti, sono auto speciali, prestazionalmente simili alla miglior produzione M, ma con quell'aura del "fatto artigianalmente" e quindi con particolari che la rendono speciale.

concordo

si dovrebbe essere il n57 sarà certamente meglio del n47, così come per i benzina spero che abbiano risolto i problemi del vecchio biturbo. ma a quanto si vede ingiro la componentistica rimane di qualità abbastanza dubbia. le famose pompe acqua in plastica dei benzina ora sono elettriche, quindi oltre a rompersi costano anche 3 volte tanto. gli iniettori...
poi l'integrale andrà ad incasinare tutte le operazioni di riparazione aumentando i tempi, anche i cambi automatici moderni non è che siano indistruttibili.

insomma ad aggiungere cavalli su queste auto mi ispira meno fiducia di taroccare la centralina di un vecchio diesel, sono auto che al primo problema fuori garanzia si buttano.
