Default Alpina B3.2 Touring

Just bought one yesterday from Mark at Munich Legends. Steptronic of course and an absoloute minter. The pull it has from idle is astonishing, plus it has that sleeper look.

Nice mate, especially with those genuine Alpina rims. You can't beat the proper stuff especially when it's a BM.

No mate, only genuine pina's have the pull out cap for the key lock. I know my rears are 265 and the fronts 235, and you cant swap rear rims with fronts as the rears are wider.

Well the claimed bhp figures are 265, but on previous pina's iv'e had they always seem to produce more, but the pull from low down and all the way to the red is .

That is a very nice and very rare car!
I'm after a 330D Touring at the moment so I can definately see where you're coming from, I was considering an Alpina B3.3 at one point then I realised there were only about 2 in the country.

Enjoy!

The Alpina bits were for the wifes touring, which is a nicely spec'd se. It's got genuine pina rims,spoiler and skirts and is almost, almost identical from the outside to my b3.2 apart from the wider dished rims on the rear of mine. Nice of you too notice anyway mate

I got my eye on you.......LOL........

Seriously tho,congrats on the purchase,i still regret selling my B10 E34....

Think that Alpina are the best of the BMW tuners personally,including M power.Hartge and ACS are close,but i just like the way Alpina do things,and all the bits they do put on the cars is really the best quality..

Jee's i want another !!

Your deffo right there mate, i had a touring before with a lot of ASC kit on it, including the full ASC suspension set up, and it was a superb set up but expensive. But for some reason even with all the ASC kit on it my other touring did'nt feel as sharp as the Pina. The Pina has an element of E30ish about the way it feels at the front. A lot more direct than any other E36 i have owned or driven including the M's, it letsyou know whats going on. Also today at the shell on the warwick road a guy in his 330i (e46) nearly wet himself and could'nt contain himself about the B3.2, it was almost like it was his own car, lol
