  • Bi-turbo straight-six diesel produces 261kW/730Nm
  • Deliveries expected to begin around December

BMW Alpina has released the pricing and features of its updated XD3 ahead of the model's arrival later this year.

Utilising the BMW X3 xDrive30d as a base, the XD3 gains 48-volt hybrid assistance and performance hardware to push power and torque up to 261kW and 730Nm – a 66kW/110Nm boost over its donor.

Starting at $119,900 before on-road costs, the 2021 XD3 is $10,900 more than its predecessor and an extra $25,000 on top of the X3 xDrive30d – a considerable jump which is justified with a more premium range of standard equipment.

Engine, drivetrain and fuel economy

Utilising BMW's 3.0-litre, straight-six bi-turbo diesel engine as its base, Alpina has installed a larger intercooler, transmission oil cooler and radiators to help support the XD3's 261kW and 730Nm – which helps the car achieve a claimed 0-100km/h sprint time of 4.9 seconds.

Power is sent to all four wheels through an eight-speed torque-converter automatic gearbox, controlled through either Alpina's switch-tronic gearshift buttons or paddles behind the steering wheel.

A limited-slip differential can be found on the rear axle, helping control the power and torque, which is predominantly sent to the rear wheels.

With a rated combined fuel economy of 6.8L/100km, the XD3's consumption is higher than the X3's 6.0L/100km.

The BMW Service Inclusive program is also available for the XD3, allowing buyers to include their future services in the purchase price.
