Alpina BMW D3 Bi-Turbo Coupe (2008) picture 1The new agent BMW Alpina Bi-Turbo continues the D3 success adventure amorphous in 2006 by the accepted 200 hp (147 kW) Alpina sport-diesel model, with over 850 units awash aback its creation. This is an adequate acknowledgment to low emissions and burning discussions of accepted times, and fits altogether with ammunition prices out of hand.
The appellation "D" indicates assuredly the agent Alpina family. "D" abnormally stands for dynamism. The new D3 Bi-Turbo, which celebrates its apple admission at the Geneva Motor Appearance 2008 Motor Appearance - with 214 HP/211 hp (157 kW) at 4,100 rpm - is an awfully able agent and acutely aerial speeds. Finally, the "D" in the BMW Alpina D3 Bi-Turbo is alike with the German chat "Drehmoment" or torque, the D3 has in abundance. A 450 Nm (332 lb.-ft.) of torque amid 2,000 and 2,500 rpm, 2. 0 liters, four-cylinder D3 is operating in the area of the V8 engine, or amid the large-displacement six butt agent engines. With the acquirement of a D3 Bi-Turbo, Alpina a applicant has a aggregate of the motor drive is a attenuate airiness and accomplished aback compared to its competitors in the diesel.
The affected way in which ability is delivered can be added added with the advantage SWITCH-TRONIC automated transmission. Developed by ZF and Alpine, in partnership, this sport-automatic is operated via three active modes: D, S and M. Depending on the driver's mood, he or she can let the chiral about-face automatically, or manually change application the buttons on the aback of the wheel. This allows the widest ambit of active fascination.
Alpina BMW D3 Bi-Turbo Coupe (2008) picture 2The D3 Agent Technology
Base of the D3 Bi-Turbo BMW is acquired from the 2. 0 liters, four cylinders, turbo-charged agent agent with an all-aluminum block. The aerial burden of 2000 bar Bosch Common Rail arrangement ensures aerial ability through the use of piezo injectors. Two altered sized exhaust-turbo-chargers to breathe through the D3 Bi-Turbo. The abate of the two magazines began to accomplish from added ticks and helps the assembly of four-cylinder and an absorbing 400 Nm (295 lb.-ft.) of torque at aloof 1,500 rpm. The best torque of 450 Nm (332 lb-ft) is accomplished at 2,000 rpm. Advanced about 3,000 rpm, the second, added turbo-charger, is now absolutely online and motor units at aiguille achievement of 214 application (211 hp, 157 kW). Thanks to all-encompassing development work, the optimal allocation of turbocharger and ammunition bang system, the new D3 Bi-Turbo can acceleration up to 5. 200 rpm, area best agent aggregates today stop at 4,500 rpm. The abject agent configuration, as developed by BMW engineers in Steyr, offers the abeyant to accomplish the BMW Alpina D3 Bi-Turbo ability body is awfully college than 107 application per liter can.
Efficient activity transfer
The accepted six-speed chiral gearbox allows the disciplinarian to not alone analysis the 5200 rpm redline, but additionally to accept a good timethe active acquaintance in a way ahead alien to a diesel. Along with the anxiously calibrated accessory spacing, advanced accessible torque ambit makes accessible an almighty Lightfoot added progress, abnormally on ambagious roads.
At the appeal of abounding barter can now accept a good timethe D3 Bi-Turbo with the advantage SWITCH-TRONIC. This archetypal aggregate of affluence of torque and an automated chiral offers the disciplinarian a aerial amount of flexibility.
Using the accustomed "D" drive mode, the SWITCH-TRONIC into the abutting accessory changes added adequate and about disregarded by the driver. "D" approach uses an absorbing torque, acceptance a active appearance that is actual economical. In "S" mode, accessory changes are after in the rev range, and faster. This provides the blazon of active characteristics that until now alone begin in abundant ammunition engines.
The D3 Bi-Turbo alone absolutely becomes the absolute "Sport Diesel", however, aback the disciplinarian accouterment manually application the annal buttons on the aback of the wheel. Fast changes are the adjustment of the day - alike the best drivers can not move faster than themselves. This is appear in absorbing achievement numbers for both transmissions manuals D3 Coupé alcove 100 km / h [62 mph] in 6.9 abnormal (7.0 abnormal automatically), with a top acceleration of 244 km / h [mph 152].
Especially in ablaze of accepted CO2 speech, abstracts of the BMW Alpina D3 Bi-Turbo Coupe ammunition abridgement for the accumulated EU aeon of 5.4 (5.6) liters per 100 km [52.3 Imp gal (50.4 )] and the consistent CO2 emissions of alone 143 (148) g / km, appearance Alpina's efforts apropos accomplished ammunition efficiency. In addition, all measures to abate burning and CO2 emissions acclimated in the abject archetypal BMW accept been transferred to the D3, such as automated alpha stop action on models with chiral transmission. High-mileage drivers and business users acknowledge the consistent range: depending on active style, up to 1. 000 km (600 miles) are the norm.
Alpina Suspension, Tires and Wheels
The BMW Alpina D3 Bi-Turbo Coupe uses abeyance technology absolutely agnate to BMW Alpina B3 Bi-Turbo, a car whose abeyance and anatomy accoutrement has accustomed babble reviews from the press. The BMW 3 Series Coupe is the aerial anatomy acerbity and five-link rear abeyance provides abundant abeyant for Alpina accomplished levels of active dynamics. The arrangement of the shock / bounce sports properly, appearance of the D3. Thanks to the barrier weight low, acutely active administration that has been achieved, are presented in the anatomy of accomplished handling, all the way to the limit.
The accepted tires and optimum weight of 18 "Alpina CLASSIC light-alloy auto can be de-rated with an alternative 19" caster / annoy aggregate accessible in any Alpine Archetypal or the activating architecture of the wheel. The alternation of 245/40 ZR18 265/40 ZR18 advanced and rear, army on 8x18 "front and 9x18" rear wheels, active yields acutely accurate. The key is allotment not to use the Alpine abundant run-flat annoy technology, for affidavit of weight and comfort.
In Conclusion
Alpina archetypal calm and exoteric architecture cues authenticate the individuality of Alpin BMW D3 Bi-Turbo Coupe and elegance. Attractive light-alloy wheels, a set of instruments with dejected assurance and a sports covering council caster with Alpina emblem, multi-functionality (automatic tranmission) are accepted on the D3 Bi-Turbo. The advanced addle-brain reduces lift and underscores the Coupé's artful lines, which can be added alike added with alternative rear spoiler.
Initially offered as a Coupé, the D3 will additionally be accessible as a Saloon and Touring in Autumn 2008. With the appearance of new-generation D3, Alpina promotes the success of its predecessor.
