The facelifted fifth-generation Alpina B3 comes in Sedan and Estate 5-door body styles. The estate’s larger load opening makes it the more practical choice if you regularly carry bulky luggage.
The 3.0 AT versions of the Alpina B3 pair a gasoline engine with an automatic transmission, making stop-start traffic easier to manage. Examples include rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive Sedans, plus a rear-wheel-drive Estate 5-door. All-wheel drive can improve traction when pulling away on slippery surfaces, though suitable tyres remain essential.
