My Alpina D3 Biturbo

[Nattyboy888]

Finally got round to signing up ! Have attached pics of my new Alpina D3 Biturbo - my second Alpina. This one is the only one of its kind in the UK and has been driven through the Alpina catalogue by the Nottingham Forest footballer I bought it off - lol !

Really enjoyed looking at all your cars BTW...some crackers and I really admire you guys who've built your own projects. I love a bit of quality engineering !

Ironically I mainly love italian motors. Unfortunately the Alpina makes more £ sense for my business driving, but I've just flogged a couple of my bikes and hope to make way for an Alfa SZ as a weekend toy sometime soon.

I'm also a 2 wheeled nut and love my ducatis ! I currently have a 888, 748 track bike and I've also just finished restoring an RGV250 in Lucky Strike colours.

Cheers
Nat

I believe it's the 2.0 twin turbo from the BMW 123d

Apparently as smooth as silk

[chriis]

Yeah just to confirm , that is a stunner

[wackojacko]

Twin Turbo 4pot 215bhp/330ftlb

Colour choice isn't my thing but very nice overall.

Sat in the entire Alpina Range at Goodwood Festival of Speed 2010 and was very impressed....... wouldn't buy one though

[Stedman]

Massive appreication for Alpinas! Love it. Congratulations.

[iphonedyou]

Love this

[Killer2005]

Really doesn't look great in white but a cool car either way

[Nattyboy888]

Cheers Guys. Yes, based on a 123d twin turbo but this ones been tweaked a little. Really is a great all rounder. Superb handling, more torque than a V8 M3 and will happily return 52mpg at 75 on a motorway run ! Off to the ring next month in it so that should be interesting !

Ross - Heres she is all finished! Had a very early factory pepsi bike followed by a banana arm M when I was younger. 135kg + 68bhp = laugh out loud in your helmet

Very very nice and imo looks great in white.

[snorkel sucker]

cool cars. love the performance steering wheel i think it is? very f1-esque!

[Mr Roper]

From one owner to another...top marks, looks very nice indeed!

[6potdave]

very very nice! Love the Alpina selection!

[Nattyboy888]

Yep - performance wheel. I think we all know that having a G meter, standing quarter timer and lap split is essential when your driving down the M4 lol!

[soad]

Looks rather swell. Wouldn't mind a pic of 748...

[Rawhide]

looks fantastic. I didn't realised Alpinas came with manual gearboxes. I thought they were all auto
