Unique and rare 2008 Alpina B3 BiTurbo for sale. This car is #18 of a total 276 produced.
The car has been extensively and tastefully upgraded (see below for details) and continuously pampered at Octane Dubai, PP-Performance Abu Dhabi and AD Motors Abu Dhabi since new.
Most recently it has had a full engine out service, incl. installation of new OEM turbo chargers to ensure reliability and performance remain at the highest levels (AED 20,000) as well as a replacement of the active headlights and front fascia (AED 15,000).
The engine was replaced under warranty in 2013 @130,000 KM - chassis is currently @150,000 KM (the car formed part of a large collection and was not driven much following the new engine install) and is an upgraded version of the extremely reliable 6 cylinder, twin turbo BMW N54 engine also installed in the 335i models which means that maintenance costs are very reasonable compared to an equivalent M3 despite having the same (or better) performance. The 6 cylinder setup coupled with twin turbo charging makes for a high performance package without the high fuel consumption of a V8. In its stock setup the car is rated at 360 HP - at the moment in its conservative setup it delivers around 450 HP.
As mentioned, this car has been upgraded using only the very best parts available. These include a stainelss steel exhaust system (AED 6,500), custom stainless steel catless downpipes (AED 6,500), Gruppe M Carbon fiber air intake system (AED 9,700), Autowerks upsized Intercooler (AED 4,750), Dual Oil Coolers (AED 2,000), Forged AC Schnitzer Type VIII wheels (AED 30,000+) which save app. 100 KG of vehicle weight, Vorsteiner V35 vented carbon fiber hood (AED 9,500) saving another 30 KG vehicle weight, Vorsteiner CSL style carbon fiber decklid (AED 2,400), Carbon fiber body trim (AED 2,000), Custom ECU tuning by PP-Performance (AED 7,000) - all in all more than 80,000 AED worth of upgrades.
I am putting the car up for sale as new job requirements unfortunately requires a 4x4 vehicle.
There is no car like this in the world, let alone the UAE, and it was honestly no less than a dream come true for me when I was able to purchase this car. I therefore would prefer to sell it on to someone who will take as good care it as I, and its previous owners, have. Test pilots and tire kickers will not be entertained nor will low ball offers and requests for last price prior to viewing the vehicle.
Asking price is AED 75,000 but willing to negotiate for BMW Club UAEW members. The car will go on Dubizzle and a friends car dealership page later this week but wanted my fellow enthusiasts to have the first opportunity.
