Alpina B3 E46
ConvertibleProduct Gallery
Product Overview
Alpina B3 E46 Convertible is a compact executive convertible based on the E46 BMW 330i Convertible in production from 2000 to 2006. It was available with two tunes of a bored-out M52TU naturally-aspirated inline-6 engine that displaced 3.3 liters.
Alpina applied the classic Alpina treatment for the E46 B3, adding a more aggressive body kit and Alpina classic wheels in the process. The vehicle was made more powerful, even though its performance still lagged the M3.
