Alpina B3 Bi-Turbo Burns All the Midnight Oil
What we're talking about, of course, is the new Alpina D3 Bi-Turbo. BMW's wickedly talented but lesser known stepchild has created a 3 Series with a 3.0-liter twin-turbo diesel six packing 345 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque.

You – and by "you," we mean overseas buyers – can choose between sedan or wagon, as well as rear- or all-wheel drive. But the bottom line is a 4.6-second 0-100 time and a 280-km/h top speed... from a diesel.
