Re: ALPINA at IAA 2019 - WP of B3 Touring
A very handsome car, love the Green and the 20” classics - interesting the forged offering have centre caps (if I’ve understood that correctly). Not keen on the Dynamics, only a few cars look good with them over the years.
Like the front bumper, much more aggressive and resolved compared with other Alpina front ends.
Stripes look a bit odd I think - not a fault of Alpina per se, but I think a consequence of the door handle layout on the G20
From what I’ve read it’s running the S58 motor - so detuned M engine versus the speculated tuned up B58 (340). Is this a first, sharing the lump with the forthcoming M3? Although to be more accurate I’m sure the engine will be a lot more sorted than a simple retune, the torque curve I’m sure will be flat, high and accessible from low down revs

Re: ALPINA at IAA 2019 - WP of B3 Touring
The dynamics used on this new model are of a different design to the B6. The spokes are flush with the rims which make them look somewhat awkward. Mine are deep dishes which seems to suit the design better imho.

I think the S58 is already available in the X3M Competition. Whilst it is certainly the new M3 lump, it's also spreading its wings across the ranges in different states of tune. 455bhp and 516ft/lbs is certainly a healthy unit mind you.

The new dynamics will be a buggar to repair if and when they get kerbed.

Looking at a close up they look like cheap replica’s. Don’t like how far the casting comes in on the spokes. Just my opinion of course but they seem to have lost their delicacy and precision somewhat.

Re: ALPINA at IAA 2019 - WP of B3 Touring
Agreed, but appearing only in M cars, hence me asking if this was a first for an Alpina engine to be based on an M engine?

Re: ALPINA at IAA 2019 - WP of B3 Touring
I think it is. First Alpina engine to be based on an 'S' and not an 'N' or 'M'.

Re: ALPINA at IAA 2019 - WP of B3 Touring
It isn’t the 1st or 2nd even S engine. The 1st was the S70 used in the E31 B12 and the 3rd was, if you include all the B3 engines based in the North American market with the E36 M3 S5x engine.
