Powered by a hotted-up version of the same twin-turbo straight six that gooses the 335i to factory fame, the Alpina B3 cranks out 360hp, an improvement of 54hp over stock. Those raging horses are not lacking for traction either, thanks to Xdrive AWD technology, which gives AWD launches, safe performance in bad weather and handles like you'd expect from a performance sedan - or coupe, or touring wagon, since it's available in all three forms. No word yet on availability or pricing, but expect it to clock in somewhere between the 335i and the M3 - remember, this is Goldilocks' car, and the price, like the performance-to-comfort ratio, is intended to be just right.
