Rare Alpina B3 Bi Turbo in desirable convertible form
Suspension and brakes recently renewed
Wheels just been refurbished
The Appeal
The BMW Alpina B3 Bi Turbo is Buchloe's hand-finished interpretation of the E93 3 Series, pairing a twin-turbocharged straight-six with Alpina's hallmark blend of performance and grand touring refinement. The convertible variant is rarer still, offering open-top motoring with a degree of exclusivity beyond the standard BMW range.
This 2008 example presents very well and benefits from a recent service. The photographs show it to be in a very smart order, and the vendor demonstrates the roof to be in working order. Significant mechanical investment has been made recently, and the vendor describes the car as ready to drive and enjoy.image.png1.36 MB
