Chris Harris Drives the Alpina B3 Biturbo

The Man

Chris Harris really likes the Alpina B3. That statement does not remotely spoil the video you are about to see. I could describe every frame of the video below, but words could never live up to the moving images that result when Chris Harris reviews a car.

The Car

Alpina is an automaker completely separate from BMW, but like olive oil and balsamic vinegar that mixes to create a delectable salad dressing, the mixture of BMW and Alpina brainpower yields cars that are frighteningly close to perfection. Case in point: the Alpina B3 Biturbo — a BMW 3 Series that can round corners in ways that will make a hoonigan’s cheeks rosy, and can do 190 mph more comfortably than most cars do 70. Here are some stats for you:

• Twin-turbo 3.0L inline-six
• 404-horsepower
• 443-lb-ft of torque
• Optional locking differential
• 0-60 in 4.2
• 0-125 in 14.0
• Not for sale in the United States – Bimmer bummer
