Alpina BMW D3 Bi-Turbo Coupe
The designation "D" unmistakably indicates the diesel powerplants in the Alpina family. "D" especially stands for dynamism. The new D3 Bi-Turbo, celebrating its world debut at the 2008 Geneva Salon d'Automobile - with 214 HP/211 bhp (157 kW) @ 4.100 rpm - is an exceptionally powerful and unusually high-revving diesel. Lastly, the "D" on the BMW Alpina D3 Bi-Turbo stands for the Deutsch "torque" or torque, the D3 Which has in spades. At 450 Nm (332 lb-ft) of torque from 2,000 to 2.500 rpm, the 2.0-liter, four-cylinder D3 is operating in V8 engine territory, or amongst large-displacement six-cylinder diesel engines. With the purchase of a D3 Bi-Turbo, Alpina to customer owns an engine transmission combination that is a rare and fine delicacy when measured against its petrol competitors.
