The athletic character of the BMW ALPINA D4 S comes into its own in the exterior design thanks to the stretched silhouette and the flowing roof line. Expressiveness and sporty elegance characterize the vehicle design. The sporty front view with prominent BMW kidney grille is accentuated by the ALPINA front spoiler. At the rear, a subtle spoiler takes up the elegant coupé line. In addition, the rear is characterized by the brand-typical, four oval tailpipes of the ALPINA sports exhaust system. If desired, a trailer hitch can be integrated into the rear diffuser. The variable sports steering responds directly even with small steering angles and gives the BMW ALPINA D4 S a lot of agility. There are three steering modes available to the driver: The COMFORT mode offers smooth straight-ahead driving with a high sense of security up to the high-speed range, the two SPORT modes are characterized by direct feedback. This means that the ALPINA-typical bandwidth between comfort and sporty, agile handling can also be experienced in the steering feel.
The drive of the BMW ALPINA D4 S combines the best of two worlds: Excellent responsiveness goes hand in hand with “diesel-atypical” revving power. The BMW mild hybrid technology used enables immediate response and increases efficiency. In this way, large ranges can be achieved effortlessly. The 3.0 liter in-line six-cylinder engine with bi-turbo charging achieves a maximum output of 261 kW (355 hp). The maximum torque of 730 Nm in the speed range between 1,750 and 2,750 rpm is available for superior power development in every driving situation. The driving performance sets standards in the segment: the Gran Coupé reaches 100 km/h from a standstill in just 4.8 seconds. The top speed is 270 km/h.
The all-wheel drive is based on the BMW xDrive system, which allows fully variable torque distribution between the front and rear axles. In keeping with the sporty character of the BMW ALPINA D4 S, the ALPINA all-wheel drive setup has a rear-biased design. In addition, the standard, electronically controlled rear-axle locking differential ensures optimum traction - especially during dynamic driving maneuvers, for example when cornering at speed.
