Those are some seriously impressive power figures. Especially with that low of fuel consumption. I'm assuming this is an extensively reworked N55 in the B3 right?

I would be happy to take either car. But the Alpina XD3 really appeals to me.
The Alpina Blue and Alpina Green are their trademark colors. Alpina Tradition. Just as the stripes are. When you buy an Alpina... its made to order. Like a taylored suit. Alpina will build your car in any color you want. Its all up to you.

Great car - no doubt! Not really a fan of the Alpina wheels - a little too yesterday. I also never cared for their pinstriping. I know this is a trademark of Alpina but I feel it makes their cars look a little dated. Alpina's engineering is absolutely top drawer and shows what a great platform the 3 series is.

The electronic gauge on the B3 nice it shows boost, EGT, pressures (oil for sure, perhaps fuel and wideband as well?). Super cool . Else, one can go either the 3D (needles) or P3 (electronic)
