2010 Geneva: Alpina debuts new 400hp LCI Alpina B3 S Biturbo - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum

Jason · 03-02-2010, 08:07 AM

Unexpected debuts have been rare so far at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show, but one car which we didn't expect to see was a new Alpina B3 based on the LCI (facelifted) E92 coupe. Power has been bumped up to 400hp / 397lb-ft tq and the car has been fitted with some beautiful aero parts and a stunning interior. Check out the B3 S and the other Alpinas present inside.

ibeclueless · 03-02-2010, 08:37 AM

MassBimmer · 03-02-2010, 08:59 AM

Looks awesome

JoeyBananaz18 · 03-02-2010, 09:12 AM

honestly, id rather have this than an M3. this is the ultimarte 3-series. sick coachwork and unbelievable power.

Craig@SupremePower · 03-02-2010, 09:51 AM

very nice..

tgb1974 · 03-02-2010, 10:18 AM

Although I am sure I hold the minority view, I believe all of the Alpina models are utterly garish. This is no exception.

jose_sonictuning · 03-02-2010, 10:22 AM

looks amazing!

s3touring · 03-02-2010, 11:21 AM

thanks for sharing. those alpinas are beautiful (and so is that b7.) permanently bookmarked!

bmwaddict · 03-02-2010, 11:24 AM

Wtf!? Alpina Is The Ish...look At those seats

!!! WOW! CAN WE HAVE THOSE SEATS IN THE US?

yamazaho · 03-02-2010, 11:35 AM

Nice, love them face-lifted headlights!!!

Zero.7 · 03-02-2010, 11:41 AM

I like the two-tone interior

The taillights and rear Quad diffuser also look stunning.

But, honestly, nothing that spectacular cosmetic wise. Definitely NOT a fan of those wheels....AND I tend to like spoky wheels too.

sathees siva · 03-02-2010, 11:55 AM

Love the 7 series

cotmfk · 03-02-2010, 11:58 AM

Not a big fan. (400 hp is nice, though...)

latinfury · 03-02-2010, 12:10 PM

Those are some nice performance numbers. I wish I could just get their tune on my current e92.

MCMLXXXIX · 03-02-2010, 12:36 PM

BADGING!!!

love the 7er. 3er looks good too

shragon · 03-02-2010, 12:42 PM

nice specs performance wise! not really feelin' the front end of the e92 though. i do however like the rear diffuser and trunk spoiler.

the alpina 7 series looks nice!

jlstyle · 03-02-2010, 12:48 PM

Maybe i'm weird but I don't get what's the big deal about the alpinas...
Their badge, wheels, body kits, random lines on the body and stupid lettering on the back is hideous IMO.
I dont' get it.

fast4door · 03-02-2010, 12:55 PM

very nice, dont like the wheels though, but I still want one

Prowess Symphony · 03-02-2010, 01:00 PM

Wow, im gonna make my interior just like the black and white one. I love that. And what happened to the cup holders?
