Unbeatable
combination of performance, economy and emissions
The new BMW ALPINA
D3. Saloon car evolution of the acclaimed D3 Coupe is now in the
showrooms. A four cylinder four-door car, arguably the cleverest buy for
all discerning UK drivers, delivering more than any larger engined
counterpart in terms of performance, economy, low emissions and sheer
exclusivity.
ALPINA
engineers have once again used their development of BMWs
state-of-the-art twin turbo diesel engine from the 123d, which at 214
hp produces more horsepower per litre than any other engine in a
current BMW ALPINA road car.
Like the previous
D3 Saloon, all UK cars will be ordered in a single specification meaning
that customers only need to choose between manual and automatic gearbox
and select their preferred colour and trim.

The car is capable of
152 mph and 0-62 mph in 6.9 secs and yet the official fuel consumption
and emission figures tell a very different story: 52.3 mpg (overall EU)
and 143 g/km (manual gearbox version).
John Quigley, Managing Director of ALPINA GB said: The previous model
D3 was one of our most successful cars ever. We believe we really hit
the spot in terms of performance, exclusivity and price. But the new
car is even better than the previous model in all the key areas;
performance is improved, yet both fuel economy and crucially
emissions are reduced. Around half of D3 sales will be to business users
who will relish any opportunity to lower their personal benefit in
kind charges. |
