My Alpina needs a new home!
A genuine and rare Alpina plaque #105 of 167 built.
The Roadster S' body was prepared at the BMW factory in Spartanburg, and sent to the Alpina factory in Buchloe for final assembly. It was produced by modifying a Z4 3.0i by stripping off the standard interior and installing an Alpina specific interior, modifying its engine and installing Alpina specific components.
Production was carried out for only two years (in 2004 and 2005) with 167 cars built in total. The Z4 was the last model hand built in the Alpina factory before Alpina production moved to the BMW factory production lines.
The engine is a hand-built 3.4 litre generating an output of 296bhp and 360 N⋅m of torque. The engine has a red-line of 7,300 rpm. Modifications to the engine include an Alpina specific cylinder head, crankshaft and high strength MAHLE pistons. The exhaust system is a stainless steel unit from Eisenmann with dual polished exhaust tips, performance figures are 0–60 mph in 5.1 seconds, 0–100 mph in 13 seconds and a claimed top speed of 169 mph (not tried it though) ..........but its an M chaser
It ran 285bhp last year on the rolling road (MAF was u/s now replaced) and ran 300bhp at a previous test (previous owner) Simpsons were pleased to inform me that the compression tests following the HG change were as good as a new engine
This example drives lovely and pulls like a train (exhaust note is fantastic). Everything works. 142k on the clock.
