Alpina introduced the new XD3 Biturbo at this year’s edition of the Geneva Motor Show, a model based, as you probably guessed, on the F25 X3.

In terms of styling, the German company provides a special blue finish, new 20-inch Alpina Classic wheels fitted with Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires, new side skirts and a stainless steel exhaust system.

Inside, buyers will find new door sills, revised sport steering wheel, leather seats and new floor mats. Other improvements brought by Alpina include a new exhaust manifold and electronically-adjustable dampers.

Power is offered by a 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine producing 350 hp and 700Nm of torque. It is linked to an eight-speed automatic transmission from ZF and returns fuel economy figures of 41,5mpg US or 6,8 liters/100km, impressive figures to be honest.

The additional power for the Alpina XD3 Biturbo is obtained thanks to two turbochargers, variable turbine geometry and common-rail direct injection.
