Alpina in more than 40 years history of manufacturing automobiles, turbo-charged engines have consistently sustained tones. Launched in 1989, the BMW ALPINA B10 Bi-Turbo is just one example of the state of worship of some of these automobiles achieved. In fact, the story began in 1978 Alpina overeating, based on the series 5 and 6 of the series of days (E12 and E28 and E24). The new BMW Alpina B3 Bi-Turbo continues this tradition for the first time on the basis of the BMW 3-Series with its world premiere at the Geneva Motor Show 2007 's.
Heart B3 Bi-Turbo offers 265 kW (360 hp) from 5500 to 6000 rpm as maximum torque of 500 Nm at 3800-5000 rpm. B3 Bi-Turbo engine has a sporty engine will speed at 7000 rpm. Also present but usually reserved for diesel engines, is difficult because the torque at 1500 rpm. The result: a broader power range than ever before experienced, which ensures a sporty and bullish driving dynamics.
Technically, this is made possible by the database engine with exceptional BMW injectors are in the pistons - the state of the art in direct injection technology. For over a year, ALPINA engineers research, developed and tested in both the engine test bench and on the road. But refining the ALPINA engine map to exploit all the advantages of modern direct injection, the potential inherent in the founding of BMW has been maximized. The use of extremely durable MAHLE pistons allows for a maximum load of 1.1 bar, with a compression ratio of 9,4:1. The result, specific maximum values of 89 kW (121 hp) per liter and a maximum average pressure of 21 bar.
BMW ALPINA B3 Attractive Bi-Turbo can be found in its V8 like performance, but the benefits are much lighter and very economical 3.0-liter six-cylinder in-line six, with aluminum block and twin-turbo charging. The smooth nature inherent in this engine concept is even more important when the engine is loaded.
BMW Alpina B3 Bi-Turbo embodies pure driving enjoyment - whether cruising along or enjoying all the 7000 plans in each report. The reason for the spontaneous responsiveness of the B3 Bi-Turbo is the ZF 6-speed sport automatic with its very short shift sequences, which deals with the smooth power of the drivetrain without any uncomfortable interruption of propulsion. The driver can also choose to manually switch on the steering wheel with SWITCH-TRONIC, which contributes largely to both the impressive performance numbers and the ability to save fuel in Top Gear. Contentment and the driving experience is not contradictory in the B3 Bi-Turbo. Driven by high torque, using the sixth report on the Autobahn is more than sufficient in almost all situations.
The engine to kick surprises even they know: 0-100 km / h in 4.9 seconds and push the acceleration, which pulls all the way up to a maximum speed of 285 km / h. Indulgence without remorse: in spite of its stellar performance, the new BMW Alpina B3 Bi-Turbo time, fuel consumption than its competitors. One of the B3 Bi-Turbo, which literally stands out are the four exhaust pipes, catalytic converters, which will contribute significantly to achieving the low emission Euro 4.
The intense driving experience and an immediate connection with the B3 Bi-Turbo are markedly influenced by fine materials and superior ergonomics. The interior features leather sports seats standard with padded comfort with excellent lateral support, making long journeys a joy. The ALPINA SWITCH-TRONIC steering wheel falls perfectly to hand and offers a clear view of the typical ALPINA blue instruments with red needles. As required by any enthusiastic driver, the provision of essential information on how to measure the oil temperature below the analogue rev counter means the B3 Bi-Turbo can be pushed to its limits, once the oil temperature of 50 ° C was reached. Next to the analogue speedometer, the B3 Bi-Turbo also provides a digital reading speed and average fuel economy and instantaneous fuel economy figures - economic driving also creates driving pleasure.
Immediately noticeable is the B3 Bi-Turbo light, very agile. The secret is an ideal balance between weight 50/50 front and rear suspension with neutral and flexible Alpina. Increasing this agility are light 18 "wheels shod with the traditional ALPINA CLASSIC Michelin tires, 225/40 ZR18 front and 255/35 ZR18 rear, made a conscious choice not to use heavy Run-Flat tires 19." Wheels provide even higher levels of potential lateral acceleration - either dynamic or classical.
Alpina new creation reduces aerodynamic lift, especially approaching top speed. Major contributors are the front and rear aerodynamics, helping guarantee true driving safety, not only to create a sense of security.
Quite unique, we will end, but a few hundred B3 Bi-Turbo in Buchloe per annum for car lovers. As tradition holds, each automobile will be fitted with an ALPINA plaque identifying its unique production number.
The new BMW Alpina B3 Bi-Turbo - revel in its unique driving experience infused with impressive grace, power, and the economy.
