The BMW Alpina D5 S has had its public debut at the 2017 Frankfurt motor Show, a automobile which Alpina is calling one of the fastest diesel production automobiles in the world.
Based on the most recent BMW 5 series saloon, the D5 S comes fitted with a 322bhp 3.0-litre six-cylinder biturbo diesel engine that develops 700Nm of torque. A four-wheel drive system based on BMW’s xDrive system has been fitted as conventional for the first time, which allows the saloon to hit 0-62mph in 4.9 seconds and 170mph flat out, Alpina claims.

A high-performance, four-piston braking system hides behind 20-inch forged alloy wheels. To keep weight down the wheels also feature visible wheel bolts and do without centre hub covers.
To mark the D5 S out over any other 5 Series, four chrome-tipped exhaust pipes protrude from the redesigned rear bumper, while a deeper front bumper and bold Alpina badging feature at the front.
As conventional every D5 S comes with two-zone climate control, vehicle parking sensors, BMW navigation, electrically adjustable front seats and a digital instrument panel in place of conventional dials.
A Touring estate version of the D5 S is available in mainland Europe but not in the UK. Left-hand drive models also feature a much more powerful version of the 3.0-litre biturbo diesel engine, which develops 385bhp and 800Nm of torque.
