Alpina F30 3 Series F31 Touring

Bi-Turbo and Style, The New Alpina B3 BiTurbo

It takes a lot to be an auto manufacturer in Germany. It takes even more to hang with the best and that is precisely what Alpina has done with their newest offerings (at least on paper). The all new B3 is a slick interpretation of luxury and performance in an exclusive package. Truth is, over the years we have met some seriously passionate BMW personalities but few come close to Alpina\'s proprietor Andreas Boviensapien and we have grown to respect the brand a great deal. As an engineer and race driver that has a knack for building things that get up and go in a hurry Andy shows genuine enthusiasm, as is evident by the twinkle he gets in his eyes when discussing products that are finished up at his Buchloe factory.

Chris Harris Buys an E30 and Goes Rallying

Everyone\'s favorite English auto journalist Chris Harris has long talked about his love for old BMWs. Having owned countless M3s and currently an E28 M5 he\'s got quite a bit of experience with vintage Bimmers. So it shouldn\'t come as a surprise that he recently bought a well sorted but rather ragged E30. What may surprise some is that it was bought for one purpose, to rally.

The Joy of RWD

50/50 weight distribution and a limited slip differential. These are the not-so-secret ingredients for perfect and effortless drifting. But along with that there\'s one that we often forget to talk about - a lack of adhesion.

M235i Production Details and Timeline

The 2 Series is coming. But perhaps more importantly for BF readers the M235i right behind it. According to sources August of 2013 will mark the start of production for the F22 2 Series rear wheel drive coupe. The successor to the 1 Series, the 2 series will see a slight increase in size and a slight decrease in weight. It will also see the introduction of a M Performance Line version of the small BMW coupe to be called the M235i. And thanks to some digging similar to what we did with the 4 Series we\'ve uncovered some data (and dates) around the new M235i.
