I saw one of these today, would of taken some pictures if I wasn't driving.
It was an E90 - usual Alpina stuff on it.
Anyone know a bit more about them? Specification etc?
Looked pretty nifty anyway.

Ah okay, bit of a sheep in wolves clothing then.
Still, I wouldn't say no to one.

200bhp and 302lb ft.. with a bigger turbo and injectors.. I bet with a remap and little more work that would get some nice figures

These have been around for a couple of years and Ive seen quite a few around....They look pretty good but I think theyre a little to common to be classed as special like most Alpinas.

Only 2.0l, that's definitely good going.

There was a very good buying guide for them in last month's BMW Car magazine. The newer version looks even more special and a nice alternative to a E90/1/2 Sport.

If i remember righty they were cheaper than the equivilant spec 320D M-sport.
They were also pretty much fixed spec with i think only the colour being a choice.

Yep, spec was fixed with the only options being colour and a choice of two different sets of alloys. You could spec other options but would need to part with a further 2K before doing so!bss325i wrote:If i remember righty they were cheaper than the equivilant spec 320D M-sport.

Great car with the usual Alpina majic in the suspension department which can't be said of E90's in SE or Sport forms.
Great ride quality,handling with ya big rims!
