2025 Alpina B3 based on the new BMW 3 Series. Here are my key takeaways:
Design Changes
- Minor exterior styling updates to the front and rear bumpers based on the camouflaging
- Signature Alpina multi-spoke wheels remain unchanged
- Sleek wagon/touring body style also spotted in addition to the sedan
- Familiar Alpina blue and green paint options expected
Under the Hood
- While no specifics yet, we can likely expect powertrain enhancements by Alpina over the standard BMW 3 Series
- This could include more power, improved acceleration, and revised suspension/chassis tuning for sharper handling
Powertrain:
- Expected to use the same 3.0L turbocharged inline-6 engine as the current B3
- 488 hp and 538 lb-ft torque, slightly more than M3/M3 Competition
- All-wheel drive and 8-speed automatic transmission
- Diesel D3 S variant also available with 350 hp and 538 lb-ft
Performance:
- 0-62 mph in 3.6 sec for B3 sedan, 3.7 sec for B3 touring
- Diesel D3 S takes 4.6/4.8 sec for sedan/touring
Interior/Tech:
- Likely updates to 14.9-inch infotainment and digital gauge cluster
- Alpina styling touches like steering wheel badge, door sills
