Depends entirely on the Sytner you use. I've used a few now with having Alpina, in my experience, Nottingham and Maidenhead are petty good, another I've used was terble.

Can you not deal direct with Alpina?

With Sytner Nottingham, you almost are as they are Alpina UK. The next closest you'd get is going direct to the factory in Germany.

Some quick sums suggest this D3 biturbo is the new "most power from the least Co2" category leader!

345bhp/706Nm from 139g/km = 2.48 bhp/g/km & 5.09 Nm/g/km

(old top dog was the Maca 12c (@ 2.21 bhp/g/km & 2.17 Nm/g/km)

and in the real world, it's gonna be even better, with people claiming mid 30mpg from the D3, but 12c's apparently struggling to get mid 20s mpg!

So I just checked the Alpina site. The D3 is listed with 19 inch wheels. The B3 is listed with 20 inch. I'm pretty sure these are both go flats. I'd be surprised if Alpina were going anywhere near run flats.

The B3 is showing as available in rwd and 4wd. The D3 is only showing one configuration but it's not obvious if it's 4wd or rwd. I thought the 335d is now 4wd only.

Checked with Alpina. Go flats only ..

..and only RWD in RHD. 4x4 available, but not in UK spec - LHD only.

This is interesting.

335d RHD is 4WD / x-drive only
D3 RHD is RWD only.
