Description
I've decided its time to sell my Alpina B3 3. 3 Coupe. I've had the car for about 2 1/ 2 years and done just under 3000 miles in it in that time. It's always been garaged under my ownership and and SORNed every winter whilst the roads are too wet/ icy/ salty.
Here are the main details:
- Alpina B3 3. 3 Switchtronic automatic. No. 140 of 275 cars made worldwide, and one of 90 UK cars.
-Engine is based on a S52B32 out of an American spec E36 M3, which Alpina have then tinkered with to bring the power up to 280 bhp
-117, 500 miles, although about 100, 000 of those were in the first 10 years of the car's life.
- The car has an extensive service history, with nearly every receipt and invoice going back to 2008, plus a fully stamped service book.
-5 Previous owners
-MOT until April 2025
Mechanically it has not put a foot wrong in the time I've had it. When I bought it I had Michelin PS5s fitted all round and new Brembo pads and disks. The car as an aftermarket Alpine head unit that has Bluetooth connectivity for handsfree. The interior is in good condition for the age and mileage of the car. As far as I'm aware the car has no corrosion issues, both front wings have already been changed before I bought it, but the paintwork does have some areas that could do with some attention in the future.
Overall, I have really enjoyed owning this car over the last few years, and I hope I can pass it on to someone else who can cherish it as much as I have.
