Special Alpina chassis
Back to the actual Alpina hobbyhorse: the performance. Thanks to the special sports suspension, the diesel 3 Series should always shine with balance and stability, even when driving sportily. That was taken over by the gasoline brother B3, which was over 300 km / h. In terms of hardware, this means: Eibach springs, additional springs and specially coordinated stabilizers. Three characteristic curves can be set electronically so that the car rolls particularly smoothly or provides lateral dynamics. The same also applies to the variable sports steering and automatic. In keeping with the sporty demands of the D3 S, the all-wheel drive system xDrive on the Alpina is also designed with emphasis on the rear.
Rims save 14 kilos
The brake system of the petrol brother B3 is hidden behind the blue brake calipers.
Visually, the Alpina 3 Series can easily be recognized by the typical front spoiler with Alpina lettering and the four oval tailpipes in the special diffuser. The same brake system as the B3 is hidden behind the blue painted brake calipers with white Alpina lettering. Four-piston fixed calipers with 395-millimeter brake discs at the front and floating calipers with 345-millimeter brake discs at the rear are standard. For a surcharge, there is also a high-performance brake system with perforated lightweight discs and special pads that can withstand higher temperatures. The car is also available for a surcharge on special cast wheels, which are available in two designs in 19 or 20 inches. But they not only ensure the right appearance, they also save 14 kilos in weight.
Sports seats and steering wheel as standard
The hand-sewn leather steering wheel and the sports seats, some of which are covered with Alcantara, are standard.
In the interior it is digital cockpit in Alpina design with red pointer on a blue background designed, there are also special customizable views. In addition to Alpina emblems in the backrests of the sports seats and floor mats, a hand-sewn leather sports steering wheel is also standard. In addition, the Live Cockpit Connected Drive infotainment system, Active Guard Plus driver assistance systems and the parking assistant are on board from the factory.
