Alpina - B3 (2001)

Ever wondered what it’s like to own a BMW at the very edge of performance and luxury? The Alpina B3 – a hand‑financed, track‑ready version of the standard 3‑Series – pulls that promise out of the coaching block and into the front seat. The lineup first arrived in the late 1990s, and views of the 2001 model are especially prized among enthusiasts because that year captures the peak of engine refinement and chassis balance before the transition to the newer models.
