The Alpina B3 GT3 is one of the rarest and most focused road cars ever to wear the famous Buchloe crest. Limited to just 99 examples worldwide with a mere four produced in right hand drive, it was created to celebrate Alpina's success in the German GT Championship with its B6 GT3 race car. Conceived as a road-going counterpart to that achievement, the B3 GT3 represents Alpina's unique interpretation of a track-capable yet supremely usable performance car, sitting as a compelling alternative to the more overtly aggressive BMW E92 M3 GTS. Distinctive to Alpina is its unique 'manufacturer' status, with each car effectively hand-built through a multi-stage process. Engines are meticulously assembled and tuned before being delivered to BMW for installation, after which the cars return to Alpina for bespoke interior finishing and final calibration. This labour-intensive approach ensures exceptional quality and, crucially, very limited production numbers.

Based on the already accomplished B3 S BiTurbo, the GT3's 3.0 litre twin-turbocharged straight-six produces 402bhp and 398lb/ft of torque, the latter notably exceeding that of the contemporary M3 GTS. Power is delivered to the rear wheels via a Drexler limited-slip differential, enabling 0-62mph in just 4.5 seconds and a top speed of 186mph. A titanium Akrapovic exhaust system not only reduces weight by 11kg but also lends the car a more purposeful and distinctive tone. Chassis upgrades include lightweight Alpina 'Classic' wheels, uprated brakes and fully adjustable coilover suspension, offering both track capability and everyday usability.

This exceptional example is one of just four right hand drive cars produced and has covered only 26,000 miles from new. Supplied by Sytner Nottingham, it is presented in outstanding condition, finished in Mineral White Pearl with a beautifully preserved Alpina interior. Supported by a comprehensive Sytner service history and accompanying its original book pack and tools, it has also formed part of The Continental Performance Collection, further underscoring its quality and provenance. Blending rarity, craftsmanship and genuine motorsport pedigree, the B3 GT3 offers a compelling opportunity to acquire one of Alpina's most exclusive and rewarding modern classics.
