Hey guys,
Hope you are well?
I wanted to share this rare D3 I got the chance to see and experience.
I hope you enjoy this short video I made of it?

That’s ok, just wondering when you’d looked at the Alpina if you’d looked at the Z4 M Roadster (MR)ThomasDE85Z4 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 28, 2020 4:16 pmSorry for the delay, the MR??

Rare 2009 Alpina D3 Touring
Thanks for that Thomas - nice video (apart from the wind)!
I think these used a twin-turbo N47 engine like I had in my 2007 123d, but mine was only 201bhp. BMW never put the twin-turbo 2 litre into the E9* 3 Series, probably because they were selling the 325d!
A couple of things surprised me though. Despite the Alpina "bling" it didn't seem to have dual-zone Climate Control, Auto-lights, rear air vents in the back of the centre console or front parking sensors!
A bit of a quirky choice, which may be why they are pretty rare!

Yeah it was my first Alpina D3 experience, I agree the options on that model were pretty bare bones.

Rare 2009 Alpina D3 Touring
nice car, but for an Alpina it seems pretty bare bones. Most of the Alpina have the badges/logos on the seats etc. That steering wheel though is quite a nice addition and yeah they did use the twin turbo N47, the D3 to me always came across as a bit of a "budget" Alpina.
