Stunning. If there's a touring version I'm having one! Darling, don't be mad I've done a bad thing....

Here's a summary of the press teaser:
It would seem that the engine is an updated version of the N54 with two turbos and the valvetronic system that has been introduced in several petrol engines lately (N55, N63Tü) which in particular explains the better fuel efficiency. I would wager that the engine for the new M3 will look somewhat similar to this. Alpina_B3_Lux

For the E9x, Alpina offered this as an option. The current price list however bears no mention of it. I would therefor assume that it will not be offered, at least not straight away (in the past if was often offered at a later point in time as an option).

Would be really interesting to see the exact technical details, in particular as to the turbochargers (which will probably be different from both the N55 and the N54). Alpina_B3_Lux

As a Touring F31 this is a great alternative to a not existing M car. It's clear to me, bye bye M and welcome Alpina. I'll order the touring as soon as possible.

I love it! Can't wait to see pics of the whole car Exhaust by Akrapovic and beefier brakes with blue calipers is also a nice touch

I'am totally baffled by this car! How is this all possible?
WOW, really and deeply impressed. This car is from outer space... no other explanation possible. Never before earth has seen such opposites combined in one car. |

Why pay extra for Alpina when you can get the real deal - M3 for the same or very close amount of money?

I wonder if it would ever be possible to order one of these for the US? Seeing as you can order just about anything from BMW, I wonder what the sticker price for that sucker is....
Simply beautiful. |

Might be some annoying stuff with North American spec safety requirements. I notice that Eurospec 3 series is almost 150lbs lighter than the equivalent NA version. Seems like Germans are often apprehensive to bring over cars unless they can make a serious case for sales margins. Especially if you're a fan of the hot hatch or wagons.
