What's the obsession with those jet engine fins look like wheels on all body types.

Alpine F31 · 09-20-2013, 06:51 PM

I'll take a green touring with oyster interior

It's an Alpina traditional styling element just like kidney grills for BMW. The first set of Alpina wheels I ever saw was in 1971.... finned style.

Will any of these Alpinas be offered in the US?

positiveions · 09-21-2013, 02:33 AM

Do I want a wagon so bad. So sexy.

F80NJM3 · 09-21-2013, 03:59 AM

That green and yellow is the best combination. It looks hot. ðŸ‘

Joop! · 09-21-2013, 05:27 AM

Indeed larger than usual, therefore nicer to look around.

Alpina 3er Touring is superb looking.

Pure · 09-21-2013, 06:29 AM

Beautiful BMW of Alpina ,made in Buchloe.

alpinab6 · 09-21-2013, 06:32 AM

The Alpina with green color is very nice!!!!

PatrikG · 09-21-2013, 06:44 AM

I understand its Alpina tradition but same wheels don't look same on different body types. It's just my opinion.

So, here I am coming with the same question:
will they be offered in Canada ? US?
I am really interested. I believe that due to the special attention, Alpina's are more reliable than regular BMW's.
Jason, Dackelone, will these toys be offered in Canada/US?
If yes, do you know if we get the diesel as well (D3)?

Thank you.

.BMW. · 09-21-2013, 03:17 PM

The D3 Touring looks great!

The only Alpina model that BMW NA currently imports to the US market is the Alpina B7. Perhaps that will change in time. I think the X3D would stand the best chance to be the "next" Alpina model for the US market. But that's just my own guess.

Dawko · 09-22-2013, 03:53 AM

Pretty sure there's much more to come from Alpina's model range. X4D would be great and obivous since there's already the X3D.

I'm welcoming it!

335ifanatic · 09-22-2013, 04:22 AM

My dealer told me that the only reason why the B7 is sold in NA is because there's no M version in the 7 series range. The rest of the Alpina cars have M versions and BMW doesn't want to sell Alpina models which might take a bit out of M sales in NA.

Teutonic · 09-23-2013, 07:23 PM

That's bad.
I wanted an Alpina for more finesse and for all the power put into an AWD.
B3/D3 will be my choice.

Orjan · 09-26-2013, 01:22 AM

I absolutely love Alpinas, and the new F3x-based cars is no exception! That Alpina-green B3 is just amazing

P1 · 09-26-2013, 09:20 AM

Alpine does it right every single time. Modified but still not over the top. Just right.
