Frankfurt IAA Motorshow 2013 (Lots of photos & videos !!
And here's the XD3 - interestingly it is the same car used at Geneva - now with the alcantara stitched trim (at Geneva it previewed potential future interior featuring innovative LED technology).
All the photos here: (Photos 70 onwards taken at Frankfurt (rest from Geneva))

Brilliant coverage Neil, your head must be hurting (not just from all of the Alpina wine you've consumed!)
Managed to 'borrow' an Alpina wine glass or two?!
Interesting that Alpina are now seeming to be using Brembo and Akrapovic for their new cars. An excellent choice.
Not quite sure about the B6 rear carbon spoiler or position of the build plaque but I'll never own one so won't worry too much
Can't wait for some in depth facts and figures for the D3 and of course a good test drive with sounds
Enjoy

I think the new ALPINA Blue brakes look fantastic.neil wrote:
The D3 gets the same discs and pads - Brembo
But does ALPINA having switched back to using Brembo brakes and pads mean that the parts are going to be special order from a dealer and very expensive?
