The new B3 Bi-Turbo comes with an 8 speed auto and custom Akrapovic exhaust system. Sweeeeeet!
The 3 series is the right size for me and Alpina just made it awesome ![]() http://www.thealpinaregister.com/pho...Turbo/saloon/1

Generally a good looking car, but I don't like the look of the huge chunky steering wheel. What's the deal with transmissions these days too? 7 and 8 gears?
![]() Anyone know what the benefit is of having more gears? Aside from some kind of weird bragging rights of "my car has more gears than yours." |

I agree the look of the steering is one of personal tastes, but after installing the meaty M steering wheel in my own car, I would never go back. The larger diameter gives the perfect grip IMO. I do prefer my smaller airbag section over the B3's however.
![]() As for the 8 speed, to quote Alpina: >> ZF 8-Speed Sport-Automatic transmission means that the new BMW ALPINA B3 Bi-Turbo is positively playful in every situation – its power can be called upon at all times in order to enjoy that typical ALPINA driving experience. << The engine is rated at 410HP while still delivering a combined ECE norm of 7.6L/100KM. I personally still prefer the "being part of the car" feeling a manual shift offers ![]()
