At the heart of the matter is the 2.0litre diesel, endowed with so much potential by the BMW engineers in Steyr that it achieves just over 100 horsepower per litre in the BMW ALPINA D3. This would be a great result for a high-performance petrol engine, and it’s a sensation coming from a diesel. Garrett, of turbo-charger fame, are able to deliver a new charger that simultaneously achieves high levels of air mass through-put with outstanding responsiveness. ALPINA engineers performed intensive development work on the injection system, burn pattern, inter-cooling and exhaust gas emissions (particle filter). The result: 200hp (147kW) at 4,000rpm.

What makes this automobile special? First off – it works brilliantly in times of out-of-hand fuel prices. Torque: at 410Nm/302lbs-ft much like a V8 engine. Performance: 0-100kph in 7.4 seconds, with a top speed of 238kph, much like a six-cylinder. Fuel economy: at 6-7 litres per 100km, more like a small commuter car. A truly dynamic automobile that doesn’t first create false hopes by shooting away from rest at low revs, only to peter out at higher revs. Instead, the 2.0litre loves to rev, in the hopes that its owner will co-operate fully and happily with both it and the buttery-smooth-shifting 6-speed ZF manual gearbox.

When served in this manner – thanks to the enervating drivetrain – an unsuspected level of driving pleasure reveals itself from the first kilometre on. Precise, direct steering allow driver and automobile to bond, rhythmically swinging from one corner to the next. Upon reaching 100kph on the autobahn, all that needs be done is to select sixth gear, and the driver surfs on a 410Nm wave of torque, constant from 2,000rpm to 3,300rpm. It feels relaxed, even easy, and one has the sense that it’s really a muscle car. Far from it, as the distance-to­empty gauge smirkingly tells the story of 800 – 1,000km to go. Heavy mileage drivers know they’ll have the upper hand against every sports car.

ALPINA doesn’t just stand for fun, but also for a clear conscience – which brings us to the topic of particulates. We assure you that you’ll still be able to go shopping into the city with each and every new D3, as the D3 has a diesel particulate filter standard. That said, not even Germany’s Energy Minister, Juergen Trittin, can say anything bad about this sporty car.

Light-footed, exceptionally agile handling is immediately noticeable, with an agility not previously found in diesel vehicles. The secret is the ideal, 50%/50% front/rear weight bias, along with a suspension committed to soaking up bumps and providing Swiss levels of neutrality at the limit. The light, MICHELIN-shod 18� ALPINA CLASSIC wheels demand this agility, with of 225/40 ZR18 dimension front and 255/35 ZR18 rear. In configuring state-of-the-art MICHELIN tyres, we purposely chose conventional tyres over the much heavier Run-Flats. Optional 19� wheel/tyre packages, in CLASSIC or DYNAMIC design, provide the highest levels of lateral acceleration.

nu merg decat 5 atasamente intr-un post :crybaby:

e bine pentru tine ca faci cat mai multe posturi

Salut tuturor, primul meu post aici, sunt fan BMW de cind tin minte si sper cindva sa pot avea una...

Tehnic vorbind, superba jucaria, aveti idee cit costa, cu cit e mai scumpa decit un 320d standard echipat similar ?
Totusi dpdv al aspectului sunt 3 lucruri care nu imi plac:
- colantul cu Alpina lipit de-a lungul liniei laterale in dreptul usilor
- eleronul pe portbagaj
- lemnul de pe bord - ar da mult mai bine un ornament de aluminiu la asa masina sportiva, lemnul e dupa parerea mea pentru limuzine de superlux sau pentru mosi...

oare se poate renunta la chestiile astea trei de mai sus ?

Cred ca se poate renunta la ce spui tu problema ramane pretul cred ca e cu cel putin 8000E mai scump decat un model de serie

mult mai scumpa doar e o "Alpina" oricum superb de-a dreptul, jantele sunt pur si simplu bestiale :eek:

mie nu-mi place E90... :-< poate M3/4 o sa fie totusi ceva nice!

nu vroiam sa mai fac un topic asa ca pun astea aici:
B7-le... sa plangi dupa el nu alta :

http://www.desktopmachine.com/cars/10-BMW%...wallpapers.html

Am innebunit azi... am vazut un BMW Alpina B7.... mama ce masina....

Am pierdut 1 ora holbindu-ma pe site-ul www.alpina.de, ce sa mai, imi doream eu pina acum BMW, acum visez la ceva mai sus, la Alpina.

Acum serios vorbind, Automobile Bavaria credeti ca aduce si Alpina ? Pe site la Alpina se spune ca pot fi comandate la orice dealer BMW...
Si cit o costa oare in Romania un Alpina D3 "de baza"...

astia au pus indicatorul de benzina sub vitezometru, ca sa vezi cit de repede arzi benzina la viteze mari ???

asa e la toate E90-urile

Sunt convins ca un BMW Alpina D3 costa mult mai mult decit 320d de la care s-a plecat (am trimis un mail la AB cu intrebarea, astept raspunsul), acuma insa ma intreb, daca ajunge sa coste mai mult decit 330d-ul stock cu 231 CP si 500 Nm, care mai este ratiunea lui D3 ?

super frumos au aranjato baietii. dar tre sa recunoastem ca au avut si de la ce porni. asa ceva nu o sa faca concurenta nici in 10 ani de acum incolo. bmw-ul tot bmw ramane orice ar zice unii si altii.

Bine platesti mult si pt exclusivismul marcii 35900E pe acolo se invarte pretul http://www.auto.de/content/view/3838/354/
