A 5 speed automatic gearbox (these late B3S were only supplied as automatics) was fitted with Alpina\u2019s own switchtronic wheel-mounted gearchange system which gave the driver the option of relaxed fully automatic driving or a more sporty manual gear change. Of course this was rounded off with Alpina\u2019s own bespoke suspension and Alpina Classic 18\u201d wheels.<br \/>\nThis particular Alpina B3S, number 174, is finished in the unique Alpina Metallic Blue with Alpina Black leather with contrasting exclusive Alpina wood trim and embroidered Alpina floor mats.
