Not nearly as famous as BMW's own M division, but in many ways every bit as potent, Alpina has been making Bimmers go from fast to frightening for decades.

And if their latest showcase at the 77th annual Geneva Auto Show is any indication, they're still up to their old, tyre smokin' tricks.

Alpina has débuted their own version of super-tuned 3-Series - in saloon form. The Alpina B3 is set to charge onto the marketplace with a twin-turbo, 3.0 liter, straight-six cylinder transmission. BMW traditionalists are sure to thrill at Alpina's decision to keep the six alive in well in the performance grade 3-series category.

By the by, the Blue Roundel recognizes Alpina to the extent that Alpina's modifications will not void the manufacturer's original warranty.
