Want a fast 3 Series estate with a straight-six diesel? We did too, of course, so we added an Alpina D3 S to our long-term fleet. matty_prior shares his initial thoughts
In the meantime, here’s a rundown of the basics. The D3 S costs £66,000 and is respectably equipped off the bat, but you can add a lot of options. There’s a full list of what this car contains on the opposite page, but the important extras are the 20in black forged wheels, instead of 19s, black paint against which it’s hard to see the subtle decal kit and high-performance brakes. Inside is a Harman Kardon hi-fi and merino leather trim . I’ll go into the others later.
The diesel has lost out to the plug-in hybrid in particular , but you would have to plug one in a lot to match the D3 S’s economy. In jobs like mine, with lots of long journeys to places where I can’t plug in on location, it’s still incredibly useful.Apparently, those high-speed, high-mile journeys play a big part in the popularity of Alpina’s diesel models in Germany , while in Japan, traditionally a petrol rather than a diesel market, they think of them as we did in the early 2000s too.
It’s usually tempting to compare an Alpina with its equivalent BMW M car, but that this is a diesel and BMW itself doesn’t offer this engine means I won’t make the M3 Touring comparison. I think they are really quite different cars – the D3 S doesn’t have M levels of agility.
