Product Overview

Alpina D3 E90 is a compact executive sedan in production from 2005 to 2013. It was available with a modified N47D20 2.0L inline-4 turbo-diesel engine with two configurations. The vehicle was based on E90 BMW 320d.
The base D3 received similar upgrades as the petrol-powered E90 B3. Alpina claimed that it is more efficient than the 335d or the same generation. The D3 Bi-Turbo replaced the single-turbo induction system with a bi-turbo setup, resulting in higher output. It could be considered the counterpart of B3 S.
Drivers who appreciate handling should keep in mind that the Alpina D3 E90 uses MacPherson front suspension, which doesn't provide the best cornering performance.
