I passed one on the road yesterday in Houston (Westheimer and Wilcrest).

What is the Alpine Roadster? If you're talking about the Z3 roadster...they are shitty looking

 

(Typo....Alpina).

No - it's not a Z3 roadster.

It's a 375-hp V-8 Dodge Viper look-alike.

MSRP: $136,900.

 

Wow....post some pics

 

Enjoy....

 

What the big deal. The Z-8 has the 400hp M5 v8 and looks identical.

 

My buddy's Mom has an Alpina Z8. Sweet car Comes stock with 20's.

 

Alpina = Z8
they just changed the name, no big deal.
its a sweet car, ive seen a couple around here.

 

Alpina Z8 -- BMW Z8

Alpina V8 engine 375 HP -- M5 V8 engine 400HP

auto tranny -- manual tranny


The Alpina Z8 is a car geared for American buyers.

 

I dont think they sell the z8 anymore and they are all now called the Alpina. Hell i think they even ended production of the car this year.

 

i sat in an apina z8 becuase the place where i did my internship was working on one...

trust me, its different, the whole interior feels different. i would check the torque numbers because they bore the block out for more displacement. the gagues becomes center mounted with a round lcd which shows your gear directly in front of you....

trust me, its hot (but i would still take the normal z8)

 

the alpina has diff. suspenion and also its auto , and a bunch of other things

 

BMW Alpina are build for all series.

 

that car is awesome, itll be a collectors item in the way future, its the first alpina model in the us

 

There is a Z8 around where I live too....I looked twice. It is once thing to know what they are and another to see one. The same with the 850. But with those they blended a bit better.

Bah, I love my CL. (and the $60K that I saved by not buying one of those....used....)

 

A Z8 with a slush box and less power.....great.

Anyway, my dealer had a silver Alpina in for service the last time I was in (the wheels are hideous).

Doesn't matter, never really liked the Z8 or its plastic rear window.

 

i saw a sweet black one with a red interior at the dealer in either southhampton or east hampton, the one thats around that area, the guy pulled up with his wife in a cl600 to go pick it up
