Vehicle Description
With just 555 units ever made, it's safe to say the BMW Z8 tweaked
by Alpina is a rare sighting the wild. These gorgeous roadsters
modeled after the iconic 507 was called "Alpina Roadster V8" and
was for the first time in Alpina's history was available straight
from a dealership located in the U.S. Acting as the Z8's swan song,
the special version went through some significant changes during
its transition to become an Alpina-badged model. These Alpina
Roadsters had a 4.8-liter V8 375 horsepower with more low-end
torque than the standard Z8 and when mated to the ZF automatic
transmission the magic happened. Other changes included softer
suspension setup with Alpina exclusive 20-inch wheels, individually
numbered plaque, blue instrument dials, different upholstery
stitching, and an extra dial showing the gear position. This Z8
Alpina comes from its original owner and has been exceptionally
maintained from new. Traveling only 17,000 miles from new in the
past 16 years this Alpina has had a pampered life with a great car
collector in the Pacific North West. Coming with its original
window sticker, serial number matching coffee table book with a
reproduction window sticker, covers for the hardtop and vehicle,
hardtop stand and matching hardtop, original books and manuals in
the original Alpina portfolio, both keys with pouches, valet key,
battery charger, tool kit, inflator and first aid kit.
