BMW Z8Alpina

This 2003 BMW Alpina Roadster V8 is #287 of 555 examples produced. The car is powered by a 4.8-liter M62 V8 paired with a five-speed Switch-Tronic automatic transmission and is finished in Jet Black over black and Sport Red soft leather. Features include a removable hardtop, a black soft top, staggered-width 20″ Ronal wheels, Dynamic Stability Control, All-Season Traction, xenon headlights, heated power-adjustable sport seats, a six-disc CD changer, a Harman Kardon sound system, navigation, and air conditioning.

The Henrik Fisker-designed Z8 drew inspiration from the 507 roadster of the 1950s and features aluminum body panels over an aluminum spaceframe. The Alpina Roadster was produced for the 2003 model year after standard Z8 production ended. This example is finished in Jet Black and features xenon headlights with washers, front fender air extractors with BMW roundels, painted mirror caps, dual exhaust outlets, and neon taillights and turn indicators.

Staggered-width 20″ Ronal wheels are mounted with Michelin Pilot Sport tires measuring 255/35 up front and 285/30 out back. The four-wheel disc brake system is equipped with Dynamic Brake Control (DBC), and the Alpina model received a softer suspension as compared to the standard Z8. Additional features include Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) and All-Season Traction (ASC).

The cabin features black and Sport Red soft leather upholstery that extends from the heated power-adjustable seats to the dashboard, center console, and door panels. Amenities include a six-disc CD changer, navigation, a Harman Kardon sound system, leather-wrapped roll hoops, air conditioning, and cruise control.
