Interested in picking up a new <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/bmw/4+series/">BMW 4 Series</a> with a turbo six? You've got options: you can get the 435i with 300 horsepower or spring for the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/bmw/m4/">M4</a> with 425 hp. But if it's the convertible model you want, we're afraid you'll be limited to the latter as the M division can't help you (at least not for the time being). But that's where <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/alpina/">Alpina</a> comes in.<br />
<br />
The aftermarket tuner closely associated with <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/bmw/">BMW</a> offers the B4 Bi-Turbo (at least in Europe) with that same 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline-six massaged up to 410 horsepower that starts to pose a threat to the M4. What's more is that the Alpina's 442 pound-feet of torque eclipses the M4's 406 lb-ft, to say nothing of the 435i's 300.<br />
<br />
Best of all, Alpina just confirmed via Facebook that it'll offer the B4 in convertible form, bringing the resulting BMW Alpina B4 Bi-Turbo Cabrio to the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/geneva-motor-show/">Geneva Motor Show</a>. We'd expect the weight penalty to knock it slightly off the coupe's quoted 4.1-second 0-60 time, but not by much. If only BMW were to bring this one Stateside like it does with the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/bmw/alpina+b7/">B7</a> sedan.<p style="padding:5px;backgr ound:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2014/02/24/alpina-b4-bi-turbo-cabrio-geneva/">Alpina bringing new B4 Bi-Turbo Cabrio to Geneva</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblo g</a> on Mon, 24 Feb 2014 16:01:00 EST.
