We are delighted to be able to offer for sale this special order Alpina B3 Gt Touring, which is presented in BMW Individual Porsche Riviera Blue with Ovory Merno hide seating, complete with all of the must have options detailed below
"Should BMW M cars be too common for your liking though, Alpina has always been the first place to turn, and now it’s created a direct alternative to the ever-popular M3 Touring with the B3 GT.
On first impressions, this is an entirely different proposition to an M3 Touring. Granted, it’s a tuned 3-series estate, but gone are the M3’s imposing swollen arches and full height kidney grilles, with an ordinary narrowbody shell in its place.
Finished in Porsche Riviera Blue (a £4260 option) and with GT-specific gold detailing, 20-inch wheels and decals, this particular example does look the part, but to the untrained eye there’s no immediate tell as to the performance at playthe GT gains subtle aero devices all-round, with front canards, a more pronounced splitter and a new rear diffuser all contributing to a boost in visual purpose.
Lift the bonnet and bespoke Alpina strut braces are front and centre, proudly finished in the same GT-specific Oro Tecnico gold shade as the wheels, badging and decals. They also happen to frame the most significant component in the B3 GT’s armoury.
The GT’s output is no lower than its M relative at 522bhp, and given Alpina’s focus on long-distance comfort and autobahn performance, it actually produces more torque. The current M3 (even in hardcore CS spec) makes do with 479lb ft, while the B3 GT pushes pulling power to an Aventador Ultimae-beating 538lb ft. Don’t expect great economy, with an average mpg readout in the mid-20s likely on a mixed drive – at the very best you can nudge 30mpg on a long run" Evo Magazine - 4.5 Stars out fo 5!
