Hi all, just bought a bianchi oltre xr2 frame 2015. It came without a bottom bracket, I think I need a bb386 is it evo? Where can I buy one? Was also going to run it with Ultegra di2 groupset, will I need adapters for bottom bracket or am I better off with a fsa crankset?
Any help would be much appreciated, As I had never heard of this kind of bottom bracket before,

The bike frame is just a shell for whatever BB is needed for the crankset you want to run. So decide on that and then choose the appropriate BB. If running Di2 then you also want a BB that provided some room between the shell and BB for the wiring. Here is a link to one example http://wheelsmfg.com/products/bottom-brackets.html

It depends what chainset you are planning on running.
I don't think you'll get a standard HT2 shimano to fit no matter what.
You could either use an FSA 386evo chainset, or "i think" that the Rotor 3DF is compatible.

Its a bit of a duff system- 30 mm axle and and 86mm shell width. Crankarms have to be a different shape otherwise you end up with a massive q-factor

It is the shell which has BB386 Evo dimensions. OP can fit a variety of cranksets in there including Shimano. Just needs a 386BB with reducers in the bearings to fit a 24mm crank. See here http://wheelsmfg.com/products/bottom-brackets/bb386evo.html

The first google hit is to a review where the frame had Dura Ace cranks http://road.cc/content/review/109775-bianchi-oltre-xr2-road-bike

It "looks" like you need something along the lines of this:

and then reducers to take the ID down to 24mm:

edit: RichT's option looks like a cheaper way :thumbup:
