Our contributor Antti Järveläinen visited the Alpina factories and a separate story has been published. On the same occasion he let us have a look at the BMW Alpina D3 Touring Allrad.

The car has a straight six-cylinder 2.99-litre diesel engine. The engine produces 350 horsepower and 700 newton metres of torque.

According to the manufacturer, the car accelerates from zero to 60 km/h in 4.5 seconds and has a top speed of over 270 km/h.

Despite the enormous power, the car’s fuel consumption is 5.6 l/100 km.

As this is a driver’s experience, only a video test drive has been made.
