The BMW ALPINA D3 S drivetrain impresses with an eagerness to rev despite offering remarkable amounts of low-end torque. Mild hybrid technology with a 48-volt starter generator improves throttle response and efficiency, effortlessly offering long driving ranges in combination with a high performance output.

The straight-six 3.0 litre engine with bi-turbo charging offers a maximum output of 261 kW (355 hp). The maximum torque of 730 Nm (538 lb-ft) is available between 1750 and 2750 rpm for immediate power delivery in every driving situation. The BMW ALPINA D3 S Saloon accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.6 seconds (Touring in 4.8 seconds) and reaches a maximum speed of 273 km/h / 170 mph (Touring 270 km/h / 168 mph).

The high specific power output of the engine is made possible by the latest injection and charging system with two exhaust gas turbochargers. Both the high- and the low-pressure stages have variable turbine geometry to ensure spontaneous boost delivery and throttle response. In combination with the ALPINA intercoolers, the ALPINA high-performance cooling system with large-volume coolers, a transmission oil cooler, two relocated coolant coolers and an electromechanical coolant pump, ensure the thermodynamic stability of the engine, even under maximum operating envelopes. A diesel oxidation catalyst and SCR coating in the diesel particulate filter together with an engine-near SCR system and two SCR catalysts with AdBlue® injection provide for reduction of the nitrogen oxides contained in the diesel exhaust. Fuel consumption measured according to the new and more realistic WLTP measuring cycle (Worldwide Harmonized Light-Duty Vehicles Test Procedure) is 6.9 l/100 km with CO2 emissions of 182 g/km.*

PRECISION. AGILITY. DYNAMICS.

ALPINA SPORT SUSPENSION

The superior driving experience of the BMW ALPINA D3 S is largely influenced by the ALPINA Sport Suspension. Utilising the variable damper control, the ALPINA chassis engineers have created a wide range of set-ups offering excellent ride comfort and precise, dynamic handling. Four driving modes are available: COMFORT+, COMFORT, SPORT and SPORT+. The precision and agility that characterise the BMW ALPINA D3’s handling are achieved through the ALPINA calibrated variable sports steering as well specific springs, bump stops and stabilisers for improved body control.

TRACTION & COMFORT

WHEEL & TYRES

The BMW ALPINA D3 S features a fully variable all-wheel drive system and an electronically controlled rear axle limited-slip differential as standard, which in combination with the tailor-made performance tyres, provide very high levels of grip and traction. The ALPINA engineers, in cooperation with the Pirelli tyre experts, have developed model-specific tyres for both the standard ALPINA DYNAMIC 19“ cast wheels* in a 5×4 spoke design and the optional ALPINA CLASSIC 20“ forged wheels** in a 20-spoke design. These bespoke tyres can be recognised by the manufacturer identification ALP on the sidewall of the tyre. Through the use of materials and construction techniques usually reserved for the ultra-high-performance segment, the tyres offer high safety margins, dynamic grip and ride comfort.

The brake system, comprising 4-piston fixed brake callipers with brake discs of 395 mm diameter on the front axle and floating brake callipers with brake discs of 345 mm diameter on the rear axle, offer excellent deceleration and sensitive modulation. Brake callipers are finished in ALPINA Blue and feature a white ALPINA lettering. The optionally available high-performance brake system*** with light-weight drilled brake discs and highly heat-resistant brake pads offers even more direct pedal feedback and thermodynamic reserves.

PROGRESSIVE DESIGN & EQUIPMENT

The revised exterior design underlines the sporty character of the BMW ALPINA D3 S models. The ALPINA aerodynamic components at the front and rear take up the new, progressive shape and give the BMW ALPINA D3 S models a unique appearance. In addition to the traditional ALPINA paint finishes ALPINA Blue and ALPINA Green, there are many BMW and BMW Individual paint finishes available, including new options such as Melbourne Red, Brooklyn Grey and Skyscraper Grey.

The latest generation of the BMW iDrive adds a new, digital dimension to the vehicle-driver interaction. The technological basis is provided by the BMW Operating System 8 in combination with intuitive control options like the outstanding voice control offered by the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant. The degree of personalisation in the displays has reached a new level, including in the optional head-up display with optimised graphics performance. In accordance with the BMW design principle of “eyes on the road – hands on the wheel”, all displays offer logical driver orientation and can also be tailored to drivers’ individual needs. The integration of third-party apps works seamlessly.

In the cockpit, the large 14.9“ curved display allows the digital instrument panel and the central control display to merge into one unit. The gauges of the digital instrument panel are designed in a trademark ALPINA Blue and Green colour scheme. The digital vehicle illustration in the central display now depicts a detailed image of the actual ALPINA model in question.

The model update also brings along additions to the standard equipment which now includes LED headlights with extended features in a new design as well as the interior and exterior mirror package with automatic dimming function.
