Direct injection and Double-VANOS make a contribution to the B6 Bi-Turbo's elegance-main intake and emission figures: 10.9l/100km (25.9mpg) and 255g/km CO2 (Combined, measured in line with ECE Norm).
Adapted and examined in co-operation with ZF, the superior SWITCH-TRONIC 8-velocity Sport Automatic Transmission units benchmarks. With ALPINA's philosophy the guiding credo, engineers have spent lots of improvement and take a look at hours making sure that no different overall performance computerized transmission comes near presenting this stage of each consolation and overall performance.
The combo of 8 speeds and lots of torque makes for remarkable snug equipment adjustments with out a great interruption to the shipping of strength - best the accompanying acoustics and the dynamic rev counter offer comments as to the workings of the transmission. 700Nm of torque approach the B6 Bi-Turbo excels at cruising alongside at velocity in a excessive equipment at minimal rpm, reaping benefits each intake and consolation.
Using the Sport (S) Shift Mode a totally unique individual emerges: the transmission is crisp and unmistakably immediate. The revolutionary single-cylinder fadeout (recognised as 'Einzelzylinderausblendung' in German) permits excellentb short up-shifts which take simply milliseconds. Depending at the load at the transmission, the injection of gasoline right into a given cylinder is interrupted for a fragment of a second, growing the desired discount in torque that the automated transmission desires for the up-shift. The benefits as opposed to the standard technique of timing retardation are quite faster shifts, stepped forward thermo-dynamic performance because of decreased exhaust temperatures and decrease gasoline intake. Each up-shift is observed through a deep lower back-stress burble.
The SWITCH-TRONIC buttons, to be used withinside the Manual (M) Shift Mode, are ergonomically and unobstrusively placed at the lower back of the guidance wheel, and permit the driving force to take entire manipulate of the transmission. The device permits for multi-simultaneous down-shifts in milliseconds, hereby the transmission will pass numerous gears relying on engine hundreds and rpm. In this way the 8-velocity Sport Automatic Transmission with ALPINA SWITCH-TRONIC exhibits itself as extraordinarily multi-faceted, presenting the proper shift function for any and all conditions.
The Automatic Up-Shift characteristic approach that the transmission will up-shift right into a better equipment as soon as a sure rpm threshold has been handed withinside the contemporary equipment. In sure riding conditions this could now no longer be desired, as an example for the duration of in particular sporty riding or as an example whilst encountering a couple of tight hair-pin corners. The simultaneous choice of both Sport, Sport+ or DSC OFF Mode the use of the Drive Dynamic Control button and the choice of the M Shift Mode (transmission) will deactivate the automated up-shift funtion. The transmission will preserve the chosen equipment as much as most rpm's (electronically limited) and could now no longer robotically up-shift right into a better equipment.
The wise coupling of modern-day engine and transmission technology supply the ALPINA BMW B6 Bi-Turbo Convertible lovely overall performance figures: zero-100km/h in 4.8s, and a pinnacle velocity of 311km/h.
EXHAUST SYSTEM - Pure-bred, Sonorous, Lightweight
Special attention turned into given to the improvement of the exhaust device withinside the ALPINA BMW B6 Bi-Turbo Convertible. A person's feel of listening to is mainly heightened whilst riding with the pinnacle down and nearly craves for a incredible sound enjoy. For the primary time, ALPINA has collaborated with Akrapovic at the improvement of a light-weight exhaust device crafted from excessive-energy titanium. Faithful to the guiding precept of 'shape follows characteristic', the complete device is stated now no longer best for its acoustics and look, however additionally for its technical refinements. In addition to a weight-saving of 50% as compared to the traditional use of stainless steel, the exhaust device additionally boasts mind-blowing technical details. The engineers from ALPINA and Akrapovic have performed pretty a feat, coping with to maintain a diameter of two x 70mm at some stage in the complete period of the exhaust device, regardless of the tricky 'packaging'. In conjunction with similarly layout refinements, exhaust lower back-stress is decreased to an absolute minimal.
In interplay with the effective engine, the exhaust device generates a backdrop of deep, sonorous 8-cylinder sound - effective, sporty, however by no means obtrusive, because of wise, controllable exhaust valves. These provide the driving force a unique diploma of have an impact on over the sound enjoy, and may be managed the use of the Drive Performance Control. In Comfort+ and Comfort Mode the valves are closed, commencing at 3000rpm, no matter the chosen equipment. In 1st and second equipment decisive use of the accelerator will purpose the valves to open (at approx. 60% load) and the B6 Bi-Turbo to elicit a unique symphony from the tailpipes for the duration of dynamic bursts of acceleration. As befits the individual of the B6 Bi-Turbo in Sport and Sport+ Modes, the exhaust valves stay open in any respect times.
CHASSIS - Dynamic Comfort
High-overall performance convertibles vicinity unique needs on their chassis - requiring awesome ranges of consolation for smooth cruising, secure and impartial dealing with at pinnacle velocity, and light-footed agility for the moments in among.
