According to unofficial information, the new generation BMW M3 concept was to be shown at this year's Geneva Motor Show. In the end, this did not happen, so the strongest BMW 3 Series to be seen at Palexpo was Alpina .
Its sedan and station wagon with the designation B3 Bi-Turbo will offer those interested a performance of up to 410 horsepower, which is obtained from a twice-turbocharged six-cylinder 3.0 originally from BMW. The maximum torque is 600 Nm, acceleration to 100 km/h takes place in 4.2 seconds and the speedometer needle stops at 302 km/h. All these values are transmitted to the rear wheels by the eight-speed ZF automatic transmission supplied as standard. For an additional fee, you can also choose xDrive all-wheel drive (right-hand drive cars do not get this option).
Visually, the B3 is distinguished from the rest of the 3 series primarily by the twenty-inch Alpina Classic wheels, new front and rear bumpers and a discreet rear spoiler. The interior is distinguished mainly by new upholstery and green stitching on the steering wheel.
