Description
Here we have a bmw alpina b3 3. 3 saloon in Seana red with alpina deco inside and out.
One of 2 b3 saloons produced in this colour and the number is #184
One of 60 imported to the uk.
Long established as a manufacturer of fine automobiles for the connoisseur, the B3 was built by Alpina between 1999-2006 and based on the BMW E46. This fine example is an early model with the powerful hand built 3. 3 litre inline 6 cylinder engine producing 290 bhp, the B3 models featured upgraded brake pads, and is fitted with a limited slip diff.
The rear wheel width was also increased to a nine-inch section and the car featured a discreet aerodynamic body kit that included the familiar Alpina front splitter.
Features: Alpina door sills, Alpina overmats, front chin spoiler and splitter, rear boot lid spoiler, 18inch Alpina light alloy wheels with weights optimised spokes, B3 rear badging.
This alpina is now using sachs shock absorbers and eibach pro springs to Oem specifications.
It comes with heated rear window, auto lights, remote central locking, cruise control, leather multifunction steering wheel with switchtronic gear change buttons, BMW professional stereo with cassette and CD, on-board computer, auto climate control, headlight wash wash system, heated screen washer nozzles, third high level brake light, e/ windows, e/ heated door mirrors, concealed tyre valves, front and side airbags and rear parking sensors, glass tilt and slide sunroof with black head lining, heated seats, rear blind.
This particular car was featured in BMW CAR in dec 2020 after undergoing a refresh, the next owner after comprehensive checks on the vehicle continued with the refresh with lots of work undertaken by various specialists.
The car comes with comprehensive documented service history and is moted till July 2025.
I myself have done some bits and pieces to the car and after much thought and consideration I’ve gone about putting it back to Oem suspension to vastly improve ride quality by 100% the coil overs did not do the car justice and the ride height remains unchanged with the correct springs and shocks.
Some preventative maintenance and repairs have also been carried out which would give the new owner peace of mind, although it is 24 years old and there is always something else to do.
The works include replacing:
Shock absorbers and springs.
Top mounts front and rear.
Propshaft, centre bearing and rubber flex joint.
Centre exhaust mounts
Alternator regulator
Steering wheel squib
parking sencor module
Fan clutch
Aux electric aircon fan
Amp and speakers.
Adjusted passenger side front window
Replaced key fob batteries.
And much more!
See list in pictures for extra work carried out.
Overall the car is now in good order and ready to enjoy, and despite and small price rise will still put a big grin on your face.
Selling because of to many cars and not the one for me.
