SUMMARY

Making diesel glamourous and stylish, Alpina's version of the E90 is something else. Combining performance, ride quality and excellent handling with all the precious MPG.

DESCRIPTION

Background:

Diesel doesn’t often get exciting. However, for years, Alpina has excelled at revitalising BMW’s diesel offerings. A departure from the usual straight-six, the E90 Alpina D3 used a modified version of the N47 inline-four diesel engine. With some light breathing from the German tuning specialists, the D3 gained impressive performance while maintaining excellent fuel economy—claimed to be significantly more efficient than both the 325D and 335D.

The engine received the same modifications as the B3, with the only difference being a cat-back exhaust system featuring dual exhaust tips instead of the B3's quad setup. The suspension system on the D3 comprises a mix of Alpina-developed components and BMW parts. Coil springs from the 335i Sport are used throughout, with the front stabilisers also shared with the 335i Sport. The rear stabilisers, however, are bespoke and smaller than those on the 335i, improving turn-in and providing safe, composed cornering.

The Car:

The Alpina D3 presented here could well be one of the best daily drivers available at a very reasonable price. With 132,000 miles on the clock, this example feels tight and well-sorted. The inline-four engine pulls strongly across the rev range, working in tandem with a manual transmission that feels slick and precise—no notches or crunching in any gear.

As ever with Alpina, the standout feature is the suspension. It’s far more comfortable and engaging than the standard BMW setup—ideal for UK roads.

Cosmetically, the car could benefit from some attention. A new bonnet would likely be in order (though not essential), and the wheels would benefit from refurbishment. While there isn’t an extensive file of receipts, the car has been regularly serviced according to the service book, with records up to 2020. It has been serviced twice since, although no paperwork is available to confirm this.

If you’re looking for a way to stand out in daily traffic on a budget, look no further.
