Expect it to debut at next year's Geneva show in March 2013 and to be powered by the N55 engine, but massaged by Alpina to an even higher output than the current B3 S which has 400HP from its N54 engine.
I don't think the new B3 will have the N55 engine in it. There's just not enough potential in this engine, especially not for over 400hp. They'll either use an upgraded N54 or a toned-down version of the new M3 F80 engine.
