Introduction
Paul Wright
With just 247 E46 Alpina B3 S made, this is number 237, and the last one to be registered in the UK.
Looking like a bit more of a sleeper over the M3, with the Alpina you get similar performance but much more refinement, this making the B3 S an excellent all rounder. Using the engine from the B3 3.3, Alpina increased the bore from 86.4mm to 87mm, bringing the displacement to 3346 cc. A newly reworked intake and a new exhaust manifold was developed to allow the new 3.4L to breathe more freely. A new engine management system was the icing on the cake for the new and improved engine.
The suspension and brakes remained the same as the B3 3.3, and there was the addition of the 5-speed "Switch-Tronic" gearbox which this particular model we have here has.
This 2005 Alpina B3S is stunning. Just two former keepers, low mileage at ~40,000 covered, and coming to market from 4 years ownership. Presented with all the right bits in terms of full Alpina decals, colour matched calipers and overmats etc, this is definitely one for a true enthusiast to cherish for years to come.
