Alpina D3 BT pics
Hi guys, quick clean and a couple of pics. Not the best I'm afraid but done my back in and in considerable pain. Anywho got back from a quick trip to the Cotswolds yesterday and now getting 40.9mpg. Only done 660 miles so far but its loosening up nicely. Came back on the A roads upto leicestershire and reminded me why its much more comfortable than the M sport and S line suspension.
Wheels: preferred the classics but on the BT the rears are not as deep dish and dont look as good. And these are easier to clean LOL Sunroof: a long lost and forgotten option. expensive but nice Sat nav: excellent and handy HDD rather than using an ipod. Expensive option when you consider the price Steptronic gearbox: out of the B3, quick and ever so smooth. Much better than in the e9x Engine: much smoother than the monoturbo, more frugal and cleaner. Very refined in comparison to all other 4 cylinder diesels out there. Race exhaust makes the car sound nicer too Interior: black headlining does make the interior much darker than needs be with the black leather and black piano gloss, but having a sunroof negates the darkness. Performance steering wheel: Fan-bloody-tastic if a little bit gimmicky, especially on an automatic diesel, but makes me use the manual switches more! Handling: :-) Styling: not to everyone's tastes LOL

Very nice.
The Alpina styling is funny - in my mind, it shouldn't "work" as it always looks like "all they've done is bolt on some bits". BUT, it does work. Apart from those wheels, I'm afraid.

Leather is regular black dakota and the wheel is standard fit on the D3. The full leather lavalina wheel is a no cost option.

Thanks Steve. Its faster but hard to say as engine so tight. Could only compare like with like but the combination of lack of turbo lag and the gearbox makes it seem a whole lot faster. I personally think its all psychological LOL
