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?

Did you have a look at the MR while you were there? I nearly went for a look at it when I was up in Glasgow at the end of Feb

Sorry for the delay, the MR?? May I ask what MR is/means?
I actually ended up buying a SUV from these guys!

That’s ok, just wondering when you’d looked at the Alpina if you’d looked at the Z4 M Roadster (MR)

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!

Thanks for watching, I do apologise about the wind!
Yeah it was my first Alpina D3 experience, I agree the options on that model were pretty bare bones.

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.
