Product Overview
Alpina B3 E93 is a compact executive convertible based on the E93 BMW 335i in production from 2007 to 2012. It was powered by a tuned N54 bi-turbocharged inline-6 engine that displaced 3.0 liters paired to a ZF 6HP19 6-speed automatic transmission.
Unlike previous Alpina models, the E93 B3 is the first generation of 3 Series-based vehicles that used forced induction. This limited the ability of Alpina to do aftermarket modifications that a normal tuner could not. As a result, this and future Alpina B3s are less distinctive compared to the standard BMW.
