What we love

  • -The look! Just the right amount of pump and flex
  • -Tremendous and unwavering pull from a very usable torque band
  • -Excellent grip and road manners
MinusIcon

What we don't

  • -Very thirsty around town
  • -Cabin is nice, but could be more special, particularly in terms of technology
  • -Only operates at its best on a smooth road at high speed - both sadly lacking in Australia

2020 Alpina B3 review: International first drive

It’s not an M3, but the B3’s gentler approach might be the more compelling one. We get behind the wheel on both road and track
