2003 Alpina B3 S Convertible

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, it’s 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. It’s 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 you’ve 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. It’s been clearly looked after, with the paintwork and interior showing only the kind of light, honest wear you’d expect from a car that’s 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 it’s easy to see why it’s so well regarded. A proper modern classic – one you can jump into and drive just as Alpina intended.

At Cotswold Strasse, we believe owning a classic or performance car should be about enjoyment, not worry. That’s why every car we sell is given a fresh service (if required) before it leaves us, ensuring it’s in the best condition for its next chapter. Each vehicle also comes with a fresh 12-month MOT, so you can be confident it’s road-ready from day one. To give you even more reassurance, we include a 6-month warranty as standard, covering you against unexpected surprises. For those who’d like longer protection, this can be extended for up to 3 years, offering complete peace of mind while you focus on what really matters—driving and enjoying your car.
