In the first stage, the power output was risen from 340 to 380hp and the overall torque to 530 from 450Nm. In Stage II there was added control device to the six-cylinder gasoline unit that has further boosted the power to a total of 410hp and 580Nm. All these modifications result on sprinting from 0 to 100km/h in mere 4.4 seconds.
Furthermore, there is a Stage III in which the mapping optimization is mixed with two control devices, two air filter housing and new downpipes. This further boosts the output to the massive 629hp and 820Nm of torque. All this reduces the 0 to 100km/h run to 3.6 seconds.

Downsizing, one of the most important feature and keyword when it comes to engine construction has been Karl-Otto Noelle’s passion for decades.

In later years, in the early 90s, he makes a noticeable achievement: Noelle is already the Alpina engine boss, thanks to the double forced ventilation, 360hp (264kW) and 520 Nm produced from the Alpina B10 Biturbo’s 3.4-liter unit, geared in BMW 5 series. So, let’s see what made this man special and what made this machine special.
