ALPINA B3 GT Review - Better Than the BMW M3?

[@nathanwright4967]

It’s frustrating that Alpina seems to understand what makes a great BMW better than BMW does.

[@bmwblog]

Different customer base though

[@samibeemer7619]

Alpina now is owned by BMW

[@user-jf8gd3lv7q]

Shut up, dude... You are annoying! Why are you using a term like "frustrating"...??? This makes no sense at all, you trashtalker! Alpinas are for quite different customers than most of BMWs. Here in Bavaria and Germany nobody complains about differences between Alpinas and BMWs, because both make fantastic vehicles. An Alpina is still a BMW after all, you trashtalking clown!

Alpine owns bmw

The gentleman's M3.

[@verde629]

Hate how we can’t get these in the US. The perfect car

[@bmwblog]

It would have been nice

[@Illtechnica]

US market wouldn't appreciate it. It would fill the price gap between the (starting price) of the M3 competition and the M3 CS at $95k. I know we've had the B7 and currently the B8, and XB7 Alpina models, but those were lower volume cars.

[@sabr159]

issa 340 with an s58

[@Silverwarhawk]

​@@sabr159 Like the m3 isn't

[@Righteousnations]

Special order

[@373axle]

This is what the front end of the new M3 and M4 should have looked like.

[@mazzflex9896]

It’s literally a 3 series body

[@ISLAMICSTORIES13]

​@@mazzflex9896 its not a 3 series body. the 2023 LCI 3 series has a huge black plastic on the back bumper now. this has the rear bumper more similar to a 2020 Pre- LCI m340i but with the front end of the 2023 LCI M340i but without black grille (as m340i has shadowline package standard). plus the canards on it. so you cant spec any regular BMW m340i or 330i to look like this alpina b3 GT

[@TheJcwDriver]

Alpina is the perfect simbiosis between power and luxury! I love it

[@Hiluxtaco]

It's definitely better looking! That's for sure.. 🥰🥰🥰

[@bmwblog]

:)

[@jw6188]

I'm just starting out in my career and I'm especially disappointed because I can't afford the last of the combustion performance cars new. All of these legendary cars will be electric before I can buy them new and what will be the point then?

[@AilikeLi]

Second hand ICEs are still better than new BEVs, just go for it! Buying new only means you lose more money in terms of depreciation, so buy second hand is the smarter way!

[@rolexr]

…never thought it but some sad circumstances made me able to order one ALPINA B3 GT in tanzanite blue metallic. I’m so curious about this car. Current ride is a Mustang GT but it has to go for the ALPINA after over 5 years. I think I will miss the V8 sound for sure… but the 3.OL inline-six sounds also great and is a fantastic engine! 🤩🥰😎

[@umbrollo]

I did exactly the same. It’s a beauty and will be very rare

[@rolexr]

@@umbrollo …yes you’re right! When will you get yours?

[@steadybreeze1443]

Engine bracing in brushed aluminum is well done

[@kbc8090]

Alpina B3 GT with CCB's would be a forever car! So sad we don't get these in the states, they bring over models that barely sell here which is probably intentional.

[@bmwblog]

I wonder if those brakes can be fitted

[@tjallaballa]

You think that they intentionally sell FEWER cars? That might be one of the dumbest statement i ever read. Just accept the fact that there is no market for Alpina in the US because it does not appreciate these types of cars.

[@diepieche]

the best way to test Alpina GT is by test it on mixed road long distance 2500km within 7 days. Then can make some conclusion.

[@lucwijngaard8413]

Alpina's are stylish and not too flashy, you're still sort-of under the radar as the public doesn't always know what you're driving and see it as a regular BMW

[@paulpateman6723]

Absolutely stunning car one of my dream BMWS fantastic video 🇬🇧👍🇬🇧👍

[@teamcraftedmcpe9578]

do the alpina b5 gt touring review pleaase

[@bmwblog]

In the future

[@samly1762]

Yes please. Even better: review the B5 GT sedan....

[@flavioc5389]

This car looks amazing in ALPINA Grün (green). 👍🏻

[@colin21699]

Are the burbles gone from the normal B3?

[@machspeed8153]

I have an M340i in U.S. I wish I could drive a B3/B5 instead.

[@bmwblog]

Lots of us would :)

[@machspeed8153]

@bmwblog BMW is thinking of or has already purchased Alpina. Should be interesting

[@profahrer5160]

Top Auto und Video 🤙⭐️

[@Marie_1227]

How can I get one in the USA do we have to wait or it’s never coming ?

[@bmwblog]

It's never coming

[@LuckyQuadrifoglio]

Its basically a M3 in sweatpants.

[@bmwblog]

:) Good one

[@LuckyQuadrifoglio]

@@bmwblog same for the other alpinas I guess

[@dunx.6955]

It's just so beautiful 😭

[@busterscrugs]

I desperately wish I could get one of these in the U.S.

[@ccabz08]

Dream car

[@rare6499]

I would have this over an M3 every single time. This is a classic BMW, done properly. I absolutely love it. I just hope BMW don’t end up ruining the Alpina brand…

[@bmwblog]

It is a great car. Let's see what happens

[@ZimZimmer2010]

Does anyone know more about how the Alpina brand won’t exist in a year and a half?

[@bmwblog]

It will exist, he meant not the way it is today. Production moves to BMW and the brand also

[@randybrickson4290]

@@bmwblog do you have a link to a news release? don't doubt you but I can't find any info on this

[@M328i92]

I love the bmw alpina b3

[@schrimpf]

The biggest advantage of this Alpina car compared to the M3: it looks are much better, is not punished with the ugly front grill…👍

[@oversteer_9339]

Dyno numbers must be mad on this

[@maziarzarea2540]

How can we get these in the USA?

[@bmwblog]

You can't really. Unless it's show and display probably

[@lucassitanggang5154]

XB7 Alpine please

[@brandontheshirt]

Why no alpina logo on the hood or trunk?

[@bmwblog]

It's still a BMW car

[@AnthonnyAndria]

When a new Alpina is realeased, all medias in all countries : BeTtEr tHaN m3?? And always the same conclusion : NoT tHe SaMe uSe

[@AllanteGrissom]

Wouldn't it be possible to buy one of these and simply bring it to the US? Or is there some mundane law prohibiting such an attempt. Because if that were not (or maybe still even) the case and I was in the market for one of these beauties I'd definitely do that in an instant and up keep + maintain it for life.

[@bmwblog]

Likely only as show and display. But it will be costly

[@alexlam24]

Isnt that Shmarc150?

[@Shmarc150]

Yep it is me! :)

[@thelionsden5510]

What does he mean 04:05 ( before the brand unfortunately will end ?!!!!!

[@tepes141]

It will be integrated into the BMW Group, it will not remain a standalone manufacturer anymore..

[@rolexr]

@@tepes141…but it will still exist as a brand and with new models as it’s true what Andy Bovensiepen say last year. And I HOPE SO 😢

[@jimmybraden3334]

The only thing that I would consider replacing my E92-N54 335IS with - but its got a custom tune, LSD, Konis, brembos, delren arms and rods,, a few other ///M parts now and since its LeMans blue ( one of 269 with the DCT) and 79K miles - its still pretty sweet - and did.I say it only weighs 3565 lbs?

[@samueldasari1524]

Ford excursion the red one that s diesel. Jet propulsion

[@chrispyG20]

Imagine they put an S68🫣

[@raven0666]

S58 is the name of the engine. And thats the main reason why i ordered one B3 GT. This formidable engine (with 80 Nm more then the M3, better cooling and more reactive new turbos).

[@Cernold]

There is bmw logo on this "Alpina"

[@bmwblog]

Yes, it's BMW ALPINA

[@WilliamInternational]

What about the giant absorbent pad attached to the lower plastic engine cover to prevent you from seeing the leaks before your warranty is up? Only buy a bmw if you can afford a new car every 2 or 3 years because you shouldn’t keep a bmw past 40k miles. It’s called euro trash for a reason.

[@Franzino]

Nonsense! I have a BMW M2 with almost 200.000KM (that also comes on track) > with original engine. My previous 325i had 300.000KM…

[@siegfriedbarfuss9379]

Too heavy for a sports car

[@KgByson]

Not worth it.

[@maximusEagle]

M3 F80 Competition is still Better though ✌️

[@BUILTDIFFERENT25]

[@Magic_Vince]

No drifting? Boring

[@bmwblog]

You're not allowed on track. Safety

[@ISLAMICSTORIES13]

It has an LSD

[@Shmarc150]

Let's leave that to Chris Harris... If I would have drifted, I would have been told off by the whole ALPINA team.
