Alpina Z4 vs my Z4
Hey Guys,
I recently got the opportunity to see a rare Alpina Z4 and compare it to my E85. Here is a video I made on it for anyone that would like to check it out? |

Nice video! It was fun to see the specifics of the Alpina version, although your car looks nice too - and in pristine condition. Here’s to an early spring and the return of warmer weather !

So was the Alpina built in Spartanburg alongside the "regular" Z4, or was a "regular" one massaged and tweaked by Alpina in the fatherland?

According to Wikipedia:
The Roadster S' body-in-white was prepared at the BMW factory in Spartanburg, Greer, South Carolina and were sent to the Alpina factory in Buchloe for final assembly. In addition, the Roadster S was also 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. Europe production for the Roadster S was carried out for only two years (in 2004 and 2005) with 167 cars built in total. The reason behind the short production span was that the M54 engine was not compliant with the new Euro 4 emission regulations coming into effect from January 2006 due to which BMW stopped supplying engines to Alpina. The car was still sold through 2006 via dealership inventories.[2][1] |
