Narrative:
We were being vectored for a visual approach to runway 12R. The final published speed on the NITZR2 arrival is 230 KTS; and we were maintaining that speed. ATC gave us a descent to 4;000 [feet]; and then a base turn and a descent to 3;000 [feet]. Somewhere between 4;000 and 3;000 feet; ATC said 'aircraft X you have left class bravo airspace and will reenter in around a mile.' I acknowledged the call and the pilot flying continued calling for configuration changes as we prepared to land. Our base turn was well before dolee on the arrival; so we couldn't have been under the msp class bravo airspace for more than a few seconds; but we were at 230 knots.
