Immediately look like the car in the picture an ordinary BMW X3 jeep. It is far from, but the anonymous expression is completely premeditated.
In fact, the car is built of sportsvognsproducenten Alpina, which since 1965 has made a virtue out of making BMW’s models forpustende fast without having to flaunt it.
The dark BMW X3 is the latest model which is rolled out from the manufacturer’s headquarters in the small southern German town of Buchloe. The car, according to Auto, Motor und Sport comes on the market in the first quarter of 2019, states in fact the Alpina XD3 and have in the ‘basic version’ of a diesel engine with two turbochargers under the hood, providing 350 hp and torrential 700 Nm.
the Forces in the basic version is just enough to run a race with the BMW’s current flagship model, the X3 M40i, which offers 360 benzinheste and a torque of 500 Nm. Alpinaen perform the sprint from 0 to 100 km/h. 4.9 seconds against 4.8 BMW.
of course, It is not good enough to justify building a completely new and sportier version of the X3 model, and therefore available Alpinaen also in a quadroturbo version, which as the name suggests features three turbochargers. The pumps dieselmusklerne up to the impetuous 388 hp and 770 Nm, while the 0-100 km/h.-the time at the same time is reduced to 4.6 seconds for the car that weighs just over 2 ton.

It is this-going style, to ensure the car’s continued eligibility, when BMW before long presents his own hard-boiled BMW X3 M. Nothing is yet announced officially, but according to Auto, Motor und Sport will get between 450 and 460 hp.
The southern German bilbyggere will, therefore, not allowed to offer the strongest BMW-model for too long. It is far from the first time, BMW has overtaken them the lead, and it may also be a contributing cause to that the Alpina is still a niche brand.
Alpina is considered to be an independent automaker, but the hårdtpumpede models are in practice assembled along with BMW’s other cars on bilgigantens factories. The engines are made, however, in hand in Buchloe and sent to the factories, and the new passenger cars must also a trip past the headquarters and have the last details sorted before they are put up for sale.
The Danish prices on the Alpina XD3 is not known, but in Germany the starting price of 80.000 euros, equivalent to 600,000 crowns.
