Due to this, the D3 is the first Alpina that is not produced in Ost Allgäu, but is produced in the BMW factory in Leipzip. The same procedure will be used for the new B3 twin turbo. the engine and many other parts will be produced at the Alpina factory, from where they will be shipped to Leipzig.
Due to this BMW and Alpina will be like AMG from Merc. small differces in the bodywork (only front and rear aero parts), different breaks, wheels and engine.
And M-Power will stand as a super sport. The Alpinas will nearlymatch the M modells in performance, but the target is to be the "comfortable" M version.
