BMW Alpina B3 Touring Allrad Biturbo

↑↑↑Please watch the archived video above with audio if possible...

Even in complete silence, the Alpina engine sound that transforms above 4000 rpm is utterly sensual...! Extremely rare, with only 138 units worldwide and just 4-5 reportedly in Japan, the Alpina B3 Touring Allrad Biturbo was an all-purpose super tourer you could drive every day…

There is likely no internal combustion engine as thrilling as the high-precision tuning units crafted by Alpina…

In 1961, a small family business began in a typewriter factory in Bavaria, introducing the legendary “Alpina Unit”—a double-choke Weber carburetor for the BMW 1500. Over more than half a century, Alpina evolved from this humble origin into one of the world’s most celebrated tuners, recognized for its excellence.

Alpina, while developing its unique models based on BMWs, upholds the value of “Understatement,” embracing an understated philosophy in design. Each car is a sophisticated super machine, an embodiment of quiet intelligence rather than flashy exteriors. Yet, Alpina’s car-making is infused with fierce passion. Since its early days in the 1960s and ’70s as an official BMW tuner, legendary drivers like Ronnie Peterson, James Hunt, Jacky Ickx, and Niki Lauda have piloted Alpina models like the BMW 3.0 CSL Alpina and the Group 5 Silhouette Formula BMW 3.5 CSL Alpina, claiming dominance in European touring car and German championships. The intense DNA from these victories continues to flow through every Alpina car created to this day.

The “Alpina Tune” is a masterpiece in its own right—a reflection of race-proven engineering, handcrafted in meticulous small batches. The main attraction, the Alpina engine, is honed with the utmost precision. While standard vehicles tolerate a piston weight variance of about 5–10 grams, Alpina’s Mahle pistons are crafted to a stunning tolerance of only 1/1000th of a gram and are carefully assembled by master technicians.

In modern times, Alpina’s captivating “Alpina Magic” extends beyond engines alone, bringing the brand from tuner to full-fledged manufacturer. By transforming BMW-supplied bodies into Alpina models, Alpina establishes its identity with unique chassis numbers, replacing BMW’s original numbering—a distinct mark of the Alpina brand.

Neither too flashy nor ordinary, yet it possesses an unmistakable presence…! One glance at the E91 BMW Alpina B3 Touring Allrad Biturbo reveals it as a car in a league of its own. Let’s dive into the allure of this extraordinary model!

The flawless “Alpina Blue” signature color gleams against the greenery of mountain roads, and witnessing this compact yet incredibly commanding Alpina B3 Touring Allrad Biturbo up close is a special experience…

It’s no wonder—the Alpina B3 Touring Allrad Biturbo, produced between 2007 and 2013, had a mere 138 units worldwide. In contrast, the sedan version, known as the “limousine,” saw 374 units. With only 4 to 5 of these imported to Japan by Alpina’s official distributor, Nicole, this is an exceedingly rare model.

The four-wheel-drive model known as “Allrad” has a wagon-style dynamic exterior with an aggressive edge. Even in its fully stock form, it sports wide tires that fill the tread, with a slight negative camber at the rear that gives it an irresistibly commanding stance—one that stands out strikingly.

In typical Alpina fashion, the B3 Touring Allrad Biturbo sets itself apart from ordinary cars in every detail. It boasts a 40% larger intercooler, a lightweight Akrapovič exhaust system 7.5 kg lighter than standard, an Alpina-specific ECU, and finely crafted MAHLE pistons. These components enable the Alpina-tuned N54 twin-turbo engine to reach a redline of 7000 rpm with incredible responsiveness, producing 370 PS and 51.0 kgm of torque right from low RPMs.

With superb low-RPM response and pickup, the 3.0-liter inline-six twin-turbo N54 engine pairs beautifully with the B3’s compact body. While its contemporaries, like the M3, switched to a V8, Alpina chose a different path, acquiring the tools and molds necessary to manufacture the N54 engine independently, creating a masterpiece that accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in a stunning 4.9 seconds. This is the magic of Alpina, once you’ve tasted it, you can’t get enough.

The ZF 6-speed automatic transmission includes Alpina’s “Switch-Tronic” manual mode, with shifts as fast as 100 milliseconds. The rear-wheel-drive feel, enhanced by a capable all-wheel-drive system, allows for exhilarating control in any situation. This thrill, especially when engaging the transmission via buttons behind the steering wheel, makes winding through mountain roads an unforgettable experience in the B3 Touring Allrad Biturbo.

With a speedometer that confidently reads up to 310 km/h, the B3 Touring Allrad Biturbo has all the makings of a super tourer. Despite this incredible performance, it remains a gentleman’s car. The abundant low-end torque is well-suited for everyday driving, with a silky and smooth engine sound, characteristic of the inline-six. Starting up provides a refined exhaust note, which then shifts seamlessly into a quiet and refined drive, delighting anyone who rides in the passenger seat as you glide smoothly through city streets.

Its suspension setup includes an enhanced rear axle, driveshaft, and differential, with an adaptive system designed by Alpina and Eibach springs. The elegant 18-inch classic Alpina wheels come with a slight negative camber for that assertive stance, and yet, Alpina’s signature suspension remains plush and comfortable.

The result is sublime handling that makes driving pure joy. You can open the expansive electric panoramic sunroof, sink into the Dakota leather seats, and take the family on a relaxing drive, or unleash its potential solo on winding roads early in the morning. The Alpina B3 Touring Allrad Biturbo is the ultimate all-purpose super tourer you can truly enjoy every day.

2009model BMW Alpina B3 Touring Allrad Biturbo: Post-Review Reflections

This incredibly rare 2009 BMW Alpina B3 Touring Allrad Biturbo was a love-at-first-sight find for its seasoned owner, who had already experienced a broad range of classics—from Japanese vintage cars now at a premium to beloved British classics and even Stuttgart’s iconic air-cooled models. Encountered about four years ago, the B3’s allure was immediate, becoming an instant treasure in his collection.

As one might expect from such a discerning owner, the interior leather and plastic components are impeccably preserved. Thanks to storage in a climate-controlled, dehumidified garage, the car’s exterior remains in stunning condition, testament to attentive maintenance and careful care.

Since purchase, the owner has invested generously in both essential upkeep and thoughtful enhancements. During the review, the B3 displayed no issues at all; the only minor flaw was a few scratches on the underside of the lip spoiler from a small scrape, practically invisible unless viewed closely. The B3 sports nearly new Pirelli all-season run-flat tires, replaced three years ago with plenty of tread remaining. Additional features include a dashcam, GPS radar detector, backup camera-equipped Carrozzeria HDD navigation system (updated in 2021), an ETC device, and high-quality KARO floor mats that extend to the trunk—all primed for an exceptional driving experience.

In my work covering rare vehicles like this, one thought often crosses my mind: the owners may have resolved to let go of their cars, but as we discuss their beloved machines, their faces light up like proud parents, with no sign of letting go in their enthusiasm. This B3’s owner, with a smile, described the “unrivaled smooth acceleration,” clearly savoring every moment shared with his Alpina.

The Alpina B3 Touring Allrad Biturbo is truly a collector’s item, with only 138 ever made worldwide and just a handful reaching Japan. At 36,019 km (at the time of review), this example is exceptionally well-preserved and ready for its next journey. It’s the kind of car that, once found, becomes a lifelong companion—a rarity that waits for a fateful encounter. Whoever becomes its next owner will no doubt find their automotive life immensely enriched.

This B3 Touring Allrad Biturbo is indeed a gem worthy of admiration. We invite you to come witness the supreme beauty of this remarkable Alpina firsthand.
