After the upcoming 2016 Guangzhou Motor Show taking place in mid-November, the Chinese market will be literally flooded with lots of German models from BMW, specially dedicated for this part of the world.

Alpina will shortly follow with its own hardcore models, and the first one to get a proper introduction is no other than the B4 Bi-Turbo, a much more potent interpretation of the BMW M4 model.

Once arriving in China, BMW and Alpina will open their local dealerships to present their wide offering. BMW already partnered Prestige Cars Group to display its wide network on dealerships throughout the country, in the country`s most important cities – Beijing, Shanghai, or Shenzhen, which is further up-North of Hong Kong.

On the other side, Alpina will also offer some new models in China as well, starting with the B4 Bi-Turbo Coupe, also arriving at the designated BMW dealerships. According to BMW`s hardcore division, this particular model will be offered as a hardcore alternative of the BMW M4. Soon after, a long-wheelbase of the M4 Bi-Turbo will be arriving on the Chinese market.

And if you think that both German models will come cheap, think again. Because of the current exchange rates, these high-end models are extremely expensive in China. The BMW M4 for instance, will be rated at 900,000 yuan, or $140,000, while the M4 GTS will be priced at around 2,000,000 yuan, or $300,000. So imagine that the B4 Bi-Turbo Coupe from Alpina will sit somewhere between the two of them. The official prices however, will be displayed at a later date.

Alpina released UK pricing details for the B4 Bi-Turbo, in both Coupe and Convertible variants. The Coupe model received a starting price of 58,950 while the open-top model kicks off from £62,950.

According to Alpina, the new model comes with a revised 3.0-liter six-cylinder unit producing 404 horsepower and 600 Nm of torque.

The additional 98 horses enable the Coupe to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in 4,2 seconds while the Convertible needs 4,5 seconds. Top speed is limited at 305 km/h for the Coupe while the open-top is 4 km/h slower.

You can get even better figures with the all-wheel drive system available for the Alpina B4 Bi-Turbo Coupe. It improves the 0-100 km/h by 0,2 seconds, therefore, it does the job in just 4 seconds.

The twin-turbo powerplant is linked to an eight-speed automatic gearbox while standard features include 20-inch alloys, leather upholstery, bi-xenon headlights, heated seats and an Adaptive M Suspension.
