2003 BMW 3 SERIES

The Alpina B3S Convertible is one of those cars that manages to balance everyday usability with something genuinely special. Finished in Titan Silver with black Nappa leather, its a subtle but unmistakably Alpina machine complete with the trademark 18-inch wheels, pinstripes, and Alpina interior touches.

Power comes from a 3. 3-litre straight six producing 305bhp, paired to a 5-speed automatic gearbox. Its quick enough to be exciting, but what stands out most is how smooth and effortless it feels to drive. Drop the roof on a sunny day and youve got a car that can cover miles in comfort, but still put a smile on your face when the road gets interesting.

This example comes well equipped heated seats, HIFI speaker system with professional navigation with TV, cruise control, auto xenon lights, air con, CD changer and even a factory hardtop for when the weather turns. Its been clearly looked after, with the paintwork and interior showing only the kind of light, honest wear youd expect from a car thats been enjoyed but cared for. Recently treated to a new thermostat and housing, a fresh set of Uniroyal tyres all round, a new Bosch battery, and refurbished wheels.

With only a limited number ever built, the B3S Convertible is a rare sight on the road, and its easy to see why its so well regarded. A proper modern classic one you can jump into and drive just as Alpina intended.
