Per thread title… still considering an Alpina (or Z4M) and thought this looked interesting

It’s #204 and the owner is on here as PhilA52, based in Plymouth area I believe.

I’ve messaged you more details Martin

If you like BMWs, then an Alpina is BMW +

I don't know how Alpina do (did) it, but they make an ordinary BMW into something very special. Much more than the sum of their parts.
Alpinas are (were) the 'mature M' version of whichever model it is IMO.

It isn't often anyone suggests I'm immature at my age, so I'll take that as a compliment!

Although I always think of Alpinas as the "lazy M" alternative - apart from the Z4 they are nearly all Autos.

Couldn’t agree more, this car felt very special, quite different to an M but being 130KG lighter… just as quick in the real world, but more civilised

Nice! What colour is that?
I love Alpina 'dynamic' wheels.

I thought it was no more manuals for you ATM?

If you didn't know already www.thealpinaregister.com is a very useful forum for all things Alpina. Not quite as 'fun' as this one, but there are some VERY knowledgeable people on there!

It’s a one off Alpina Roadster colour called ‘Alpina Blue’…” Alpinablau II Metallic (A46) “ I love it, only 15 Alpina Roadsters in this colour in the UK apparently and doesn’t appear on any non-Alpina Zeds. Exclusive little club

Forgot to say, Mrs not going to be insured on this one. Hence doesn’t need to be auto

Nice result on purchase.
Expect to see this out on a run shortly, still not as rare as a white E85

I’m not sure how much more Tomo can take before he gets his wrapped in black

Congratulations True-Blue.

It's great to see an Alpina in a distinctive colour too. Apart from Perry Gunn's Red one I've only ever seen them in Black (2 at the National) or Silver (3 at Zedfest).
