The new Diesel Bi-Turbo BMW Alpina D3 continues success story began in 2006, the popular 200 hp (147 kW) Alpina sport-diesel model, which has more than 850 units sold since its inception. This is a more viable low emissions and consumption discussions of current times, and fits perfectly with the out-of-hand fuel prices.
The name "D" is clear evidence of the Alpine family of diesel engines. "D", a particularly dynamic. The new D3 Bi-Turbo, celebrates its world debut at the Geneva Motor Car of 2008 - 214 HP/211 HP (157 kW) at 4100 rpm - is exceptionally strong and exceptionally high-speed driven by diesel fuel. Finally, the 'D' BMW Alpina D3 Bi-Turbo is the German "Drehmoment" or torque, which is the D3 is a spade. 450 nm (£ 332-ft) of torque from 2000 to 2500 rpm, 2.0-liter four-cylinder D3 is an area V8 engine, or other large-displacement six-cylinder diesel. When you purchase the D3 Bi-Turbo, the customer has the Alpina engine gearbox combination, which is a rare and wonderful pleasure, as measured by its rivals diesel.

The elegant way in which power is delivered can be further increased by SWITCH-TRONIC automatic extra. Developed by ZF and Alpina in a partnership, this sport-automatic is powered by three driving modes: D, S and M. According to the mood of the driver, he or she left a quarter of the automatic transmission, or shift manually using the buttons on the back of the wheel. This provides the broadest range of conduct fascination.
D3 diesel technology
Base D3 Bi-Turbo 2.0 is derived from the liter BMW four-cylinder, turbocharged diesel engine with all-aluminum block. High pressure 2000 bar Bosch Common Rail offers high efficiency by making use of piezo injectors. Two different sizes of exhaust-driven turbocharger, to breathe the D3 Bi-Turbo. A charger minor ticks will begin working immediately on a four-cylinder, and help restore an impressive 400 Nm of torque (295 pounds-ft) of torque at just 1,500 rpm. Maximum torque of 450 Nm (332 lb-ft) is achieved at 2000 rpm. About 3000 rpm onwards, a second, larger turbo, fully online, and then run the engine peak power is 214 horsepower (211 hp, 157 kW). Thanks to extensive development work, the optimal mapping of turbochargers, fuel injection system, the new D3 Bi-Turbo can speed up to 5200 rpm, where most diesel aggregates today it stops at 4500 rpm.
The base engine configuration, as developed by BMW engineers in Steyr, has the potential to make the BMW Alpina D3 Bi-Turbo immensely high specific output 107 horsepower per liter can.

The effective transfer of power
The standard six-speed manual gearbox allows the driver to test not only the 5200-rpm redline, but also to enjoy the driving experience in a gas known. Together with carefully calibrated gear spacing, wide torque curve allows an unusually lightfooted used in the form of forward progress, especially on winding country roads.
At the request of many customers can now enjoy the D3 Bi-Turbo Switch-Tronic option. This classic combination of a lot of torque and an automatic transmission offers the driver a great deal of flexibility.
Use the normal "D" Drive, SWITCH-TRONIC shift into high gear as comfortably and almost unnoticed by the driver. "D" mode uses an impressive torque of the motor, allowing a driving style that is very economical. Mode "S", until late in the displacement speed range, and faster. This gives the kind of driving performance to date has been found only in powerful gasoline engines.
D3 Bi-Turbo only really becomes perfect "Diesel Sport", even when the driver switches to manually move the buttons back behind the wheel. The speed of light changes in the order of the day - even the best drivers can not move faster than the self. This reveals itself in impressive performance numbers as well as manual transmissions D3 Coupé reaches 100 km / h [62 mph] in 6.9 seconds (automatic 7.0 sec), with a maximum speed of 244 km / h [152 mph].
Especially in light of the current discourse of CO2. The figures of the BMW Alpina D3 Bi-Turbo Coupe fuel economy for the EU combined cycle of 5.4 (5.6) l/100 km [52.3 gal (50.4)] and therefore emissions CO2 of only 143 (148) g / km, reveals the efforts Alpina for maximum energy efficiency. In addition, all measures to reduce consumption and CO2 emissions used in the base model BMW transferred to the D3, such as automatic start stop function on models with manual transmission. High mileage drivers and operators will appreciate the resulting large: depending on driving style, is the standard up to 1000 km (600 miles).
Alpina suspension, tires & wheels
The BMW Alpina D3 Bi-Turbo Coupe uses suspension technology quite similar to the BMW Alpina B3 Bi-Turbo, a car whose suspension and chassis set-up has received rave reviews from the press. The BMW 3 Series Coupe chassis rigidity and five high Alpina rear suspension equipped large potential for higher levels of driving dynamics. The first leg of calibration / Spring is the character worthy sports correspondent D3. The low vehicle weight, agile handling was achieved, which is in the form of excellent handling, all the way to the limit.
Standard tires and weight-optimized 18 "Alpina Classic alloy wheels can be ranked up with optional 19" wheel / tire combination, available in Classic or the Alpina Dynamic wheels design. 245/40 ZR18 tires interaction with 265/40 ZR18 tires in front and rear ride 8x18 "and 9x18 in the face" to the rear wheels, producing an incredibly accurate reading. Even more important is the choice not to use heavy Run-Flat technology, Alpina tire, for reasons of weight and comfort.
In conclusion
Alpina typical indoor and outdoor track design to demonstrate the individuality of the Alpine BMW D3 Bi-Turbo Coupe and elegance. Attractive alloy wheels, instrument cluster with blue balls and a sports leather steering wheel with Alpina emblem, multi-functionality (automatic tranmission) are standard on the D3 Bi-Turbo. The front spoiler reduces lift and highlights the aesthetic lines of the coupe, which can be further enhanced with an optional rear spoiler.
Initially offered the Coupé, the D3 is also available in sedan and touring in the fall of 2008. With the advent of a new generation of D3, Alpine contribute to the success of its predecessor.
