Amazing how the Chrome grille really looks better than BMWs standard offering.
The black one looks like lipstick on a pig, and the Hyundai grill on the MSport looks like - well a Hyundai. So it's nice to see the older tradition of the six cylinder model still being given some respect by Alpina. Currently this is the only 3 series I would consider. |

Everyone is saying it has S58 engine but someone told me it's a modified S58 and now it's called B58 in the Alpina B3. So does the new Alpina have S58 or B58? Any link with technical data?

I don’t know the exact process, but I think it’s pretty obvious BMWNA makes decisions on what to import independently from what BMWAG decides to produce for the overall world market. Otherwise we’d surely get the G21 over here.

But it appears that they really did get access to the M engine this time. Read from this post below to the end of its thread. https://g20.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...0#post25241860 All evidence says S58. |

Put wider hips on this, more aggressive hood and this is what the G8X M3 should have been.

This looks old after seeing the new grills. I hope they make a 4 series version of this.

They are essentially a boutique manufacturer and have been so since they received manufacturer status from VDAT (German DOT) back in 1983. And they should be importing other cars in their lineup than an X7 but that model does make sense for the North American market. |

But I think you miss the point. Alpina is specifically not trying to make another M3. They are deliberately making something different. It's ok that you don't like it, but you can't call it an M3 wannabe.

You are right I was giving it way too much credit since there is no point to it.
