Coral red looks so much better on f30 sedans. Can't stand the "extended plastic" red dash on the f32.
Anyway, this car here is fugly, IMO. I'm sure its a beast to drive and will probably be reviewed exceptionally well (Alpina), but ... Ugly wheels, awkward exhaust, sits high, basic after thought looking spoiler, ... |

i prefer it when they put the ALPINA placard on the ceiling....and ALPINA pls somehow introduce a D3 with a smaller engine like the last D3, that definitely would sell better than this 3.0 diesel.

I am in love with that red interior. Is it an Alpina only color? It seems a lot brighter than the standard red.
With those wheels they really need a larger rotor. slotted, cross drilled or both.

What's the point? They wouldn't even use/include all the add-ons that comes with M-Sport anyway. I'm pretty sure all the modifications done for the Alpina cars are all done from/by Alpina thus having any prior modifications before it getting to Alpina pointless because it would be removed anyway.

Diesels have unreal torque. Beautiful car by the way. Right now regular is $2.90 and diesel is $3.60, kind of discouraging for diesel enthusiasts.

Even though many of the options would be replaced, the front bumper and steering wheel from a M-Sport would make this car look much better. |

Drove the D3 F31 last week as xdrive. Impressive car, quite fast, very efficient but no sound from the exhaust, that was disapointing. Afterwards we drove the B3 F30, what a difference. D3 is for the money, B3 is for the heart!

Not a fan of the quad pipes either but overall a lovely car and a great blend of performance and economy. Great company car! |

It's a great car and I really like the exterior, including the spoiler and the quad exhaust. I do find however that 20" wheels are just a bit too large (not even speaking about their other disadvantages) - at least the D3 comes stock with 19" unlike the B3.
I don't like the interior (always hated red), but tastes differ. Alpina_B3_Lux
