Alpina Burkhard Bovensiepen based in Buchloe, Germany has been garnering attention since the 1960s. Based on various BMW models, Alpina was able to position itself in the racing sports’ scene and make a name for itself. The engine was the most important focus of an Alpina vehicle. This was based on a BMW engine block and cylinder head and was modified for the company's various needs. From the Alpina D3 BiTurbo to the B5 S to the XD3 BiTurbo, you can't overlook or fail to hear these vehicles on the roads.
In order to get even more power out of your Alpina B3 BiTurbo, RaceChip offers its popular Powerboxes for engine tuning. In just a few steps you'll increase your torque from 500 Nm to up to 590 Nm and boost your BiTurbo from 360 HP to up to 426 HP. It's a power plus that you can see and feel!

Should this initial configuration not meet your expectations, our customer service is able to further adapt the settings of the 3 distinct driving modes Efficiency, Sport and Race to the performance characteristics of your engine. The new parameters will then simply be transferred from the app to your RaceChip.
