165 mph BMW Alpina Roadster S
Alpina GB announced lower prices and enhanced equipment levels for the exciting BMW Z4-based two seater convertible.
Strong performance comes courtesy of the 300 bhp available at 6300 rpm and the Roadster S’ low kerb weight of 2910 lb. Together they yield a 0-62 mph sprint time of just 5.3 seconds and a top speed of 165 mph.
Newly accessible pricing of the Roadster will do little to diminish the exclusivity of the Alpina marque on British roads. Production of the entire range, including ultra-high performance derivatives of BMW 3 series Coupe and Convertible plus 5 and 7 Series Saloons, remains restricted to about 120 cars in the UK in 2005.
Developed in a unique collaboration with BMW, Alpina power units are hand built in Buchloe and transported to Munich with specifically engineered Alpina handling components and accessories, for assembly by BMW as complete Alpina cars and marketed in the UK with a BMW 2 year new car warranty.
The BMW Alpina Roadster range starts at £37,850 mrrp OTR, and standard specification includes:
Climate Control Air Conditioning
Special Alpina Extended Leather
19” Alpina DYNAMIC Wheels
6 CD Changer
Cruise Control
Park Distance Control
Multi-function Steering Wheel
Economy & Environment
Fuel consumption is commensurate with the performance level of the Roadster S with a combined figure of 28.5 mpg (Urban 18.6mpg, Extra-Urban 40.9mpg). The CO2 combined emission value is 238 g/km.
