Something very special - BMW Alpina XD3 Biturbo!
Over the years I've owned a number of high performance BMW's but my new XD3 truly is the best of the bunch. I waited five months from ordering to delivery but it was totally worth it.. just passed the 1000 mile mark and I can't stop smiling! Here are a few pics

wow. that looks hot! guess we need to interview the unicorn. who knows when we may see one again.
can you share specs? hp, torque numbers? was the engine modified from factory? How about suspension, was it lowered? what wheel/tire combo are you running? love the quad exhaust. all X3s and 4s should have that setup. how's the sound? absolutely lovely!

The grill inserts, to me, make the biggest difference. |

Yes inserts and and flattening of the bottom lip and it looks proportional, BMW could have done these small tweaks and made car look this awesome. Let's see if Alpina do an X4.

Beautiful! Don't think I'll ever see one of these across the pond. Love the quad tips and the interior color. Maybe those rims will fit on mine...
