The Alpina brand was founded in 1965. Initially a tuning company, it has grown into a specialist in producing exclusive, performance vehicles based on BMW’s. What is very special is that Alpina has developed into an independent car manufacturer so they can have their own brand name and assign their own chassis numbers. To make the cars’s recognizable, Alpina works with subtle but distinctive style features. Moreover, they pay a lot of attention to the chassis and the interior with which a sporty yet luxurious driving experience is created.Also based on the BMW E90 generation, Alpina has produced cars’s. From this range, however, one Alpina is not the other: at one point Alpina also produced a number of ‘budget cars’s’ such as the Alpina D3 with 200 hp 4 cylinder diesel engine. Moreover, the D3’s are often equipped with a standard BMW exterior color and with, if you really have a budget Alpina, a cloth interior. Not really the way an Alpina should be, for that you have to have the Alpina B3 Biturbo. You then have an Alpina based on the fine 3.0-liter six-in-line with two turbo’s or, in other words, BMW’s B54B30. In the B3, after the Alpina sauce, this is good for 350 hp and 500 Nm with which you can sprint to 100 km/h in less than 5 seconds and a top speed of close to 300 km/h is possible.The most beautiful from the E90 series is of course the Alpina B3 based on the Coupé. The already beautiful lines are then further enhanced by the subtle classic Alpina styling elements such as the Alpina front lip, the beautiful optional and rare 19-inch Alpina Dynamic rims, four subtle exhausts, an understated spoiler and, of course, the Alpina logo’s on the trunk lid. This B3 is also finished in theé Alpina color: Alpina Blau metallic II. Fortunately, the famous Alpina striping is also present in this case and in white to match the interior. Nice detail, the Alpina corset is reflective. The unique combination of these makes it immediately obvious to an enthusiast that this is an Alpina while still remaining understated. ‘Chic sporty’ is perhaps the term that covers the load.The party continues in the interior. Of course, the speedometer has been updated to reflect the B3's new speed potential and the dials have been given the beautiful signature Alpina blue color. But that's not the most spectacular thing in this particular interior. This B3 is equipped with a Lavalina leather interior. Now that probably needs some explanation: with Alpina, you have the standard BMW Dakota leather and optionally the nicer Individual leather. Lavalina leather goes well beyond that. In terms of leather, a Lavalina interior is much softer and of higher quality: exactly the interior you want to find in an Alpina. That's one of the reasons you buy a B3. This B3 is also equipped with fine options such as an electric glass sunroof / tilt roof, electric seats with memory and heating, the ‘Professional’ navigation system, front and rear parking sensors, and a parking heater to name just a few.This Alpina was delivered new in 2008 and in 2021 the car was registered in the Netherlands. That the previous owners must have been enthusiasts is reflected in the car and history. The car is in very nice condition, the Alpina manuals are obviously also present and everything is stored in the original leather Alpina case. The maintenance history shows that the car has been neatly maintained by BMW dealers and specialists.Classic Park's core business is buying, selling and consignment sales of classic and exclusive cars’s.
