Original-Owner 2003 BMW Alpina Roadster V8

This 2003 BMW Alpina Roadster V8 is #387 of 555 examples produced, and the current owner purchased it new and has added the 29k indicated miles. Finished in Jet Black over Creme and Black Nappa leather, the car is powered by an Alpina-tuned 4.8-liter V8 paired with a five-speed Switch-Tronic automatic transmission. Equipment includes 20″ Ronal wheels, a removable hardtop, a black soft top, heated Sport seats, and a Harman Kardon sound system. This Alpina Roadster is now offered on dealer consignment with a window sticker, manufacturer’s literature, two keys, service records, a hardtop stand and cover, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Arizona title.

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 a color-matched removable hardtop and a black soft top. Additional equipment includes xenon headlights with washers, front fender air extractors with BMW roundels, painted mirror caps, dual exhaust outlets, and neon taillights and turn indicators. Clear paint protection film covers various areas of the body.

Staggered-width 20″ Ronal wheels are mounted with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires. 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 Creme and Black interior offers Nappa leather upholstery on the heated power-adjustable Sport seats, and color-coordinated hide extends to the dashboard, center console, and door panels. Other appointments include navigation, a Harman Kardon sound system, a six-disc CD changer, leather-wrapped roll hoops, air conditioning, and cruise control.

A plaque mounted between the seats denotes this Alpina Roadster as chassis #387 of 555 in the series.

The leather-wrapped three-spoke steering wheel features Switch-Tronic shift buttons and frames an Alpina-branded gear indicator ahead of the driver. Centrally mounted instrumentation includes a 170-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer with an integrated analog clock, and gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level. The digital odometer indicates 29k miles.

The 4.8-liter M62 V8 was shared with the contemporary B10 V8 S and features double-VANOS variable valve timing, individual throttle bodies, a double-row timing chain, and hollow camshafts. Factory-rated output was 375 horsepower and 396 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed Switch-Tronic automatic transmission.

The window sticker notes initial delivery to Joe Self BMW in Wichita, Kansas, and lists factory equipment, colors, options, and a total suggested retail price of $139,295.

A hardtop stand and cover are also included with the car along with manufacturer’s literature, two keys, and service records.

The Carfax report is free of accidents or other reported damage.
