186 mph Alpina-fettled BMW 3 series

The twin-turbo, 400-horsepower Alpina B3S has been let loose on the UK market. With just about 400 pound-feet to get you off the line you'll get from 0-to-60 in 4.7 seconds. That might not sound too impressive for an Alpina, but you'll be able to hang with Porsche Carrera S's, and that's not bad for a 3 Series. Staying away from hard going will get you another impressive number, though: 24.2 combined miles per gallon (29.1 Imperial).
The Alpina B3S is offered in Saloon, Touring, Coupe and Convertible, with deliveries beginning in July. Follow the jump for the full press release and have a look at it in the gallery of high-res photos below
