Legendary BMW tuner Alpina is expanding its range with a brand new line, the B4, now that BMW’s 3-Series Coupe has been replaced by the 4-Series. The car made its debut this week in B4 Biturbo trim at the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show, where Alpina also showed off its B3 model based on the BMW 3-Series sedan.

The B4 Biturbo is based on BMW’s 435i which comes standard with a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter straight-six. Extensive modifications, however, sees the car’s output rise to 410 horsepower and 442 pound-feet of torque. What’s more impressive is that as much as 405 pound-feet of torque is generated from as low as 2,200 rpm and maintained all the way up to 5,200 rpm.
