BMW Alpina D3 Bi-Turbo Coupe (2008) : first pictures

Alpina engineers have taken BMW’s twin-turbo diesel from the 123d, slotted it into the Three Coupe, then tweaked it to produce 211bhp. The result is an engine that produces more horsepower per litre than any other BMW or Alpina road car, they say.

It also served to preview the renaissance of the Shooting Brake that the industry is still experiencing.

Jaguar Land Rover: 800 new jobs & record sales
