This is an interesting vehicle.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2004-BMW-Z4-2-2i-SE-ALPINA-ROADSTER-S-BODYKIT-AND-WHEELS-ONLY-49K-MILES-FROM-NEW-/302012529979?hash=item4651597d3b:g:BzcAAOSwanRXhVMk

I've seen a few 3.0 Z4's with all the body kit on, but never a 2.2 before.

Still a 6-pot but possibly a tad cheaper on the insurance for anyone who likes the look but is too young for the genuine Alpina !
 
If the wheels are genuine, it'd be cheaper to buy the car than to buy the Alpina bodykit and wheels :lol:

The ad says 'It Looks And Sounds Like A Genuine Alpina From The Outside' - well it could look like a debadged RS if they removed the Z4 badge on the boot, but there's no way it'll sound like one... :evil:
 
Interested to find out how he's made it "sound like an Alpina from the outside" :)

That's an expensive homage though - wheels (if original and unmarked) are worth £1000+, and the other body trim bits would pick up a few hundred second hand. Looks a nice vehicle, but I wouldn't try to register it on the Alpina forum; funny if the purchaser did though :D

...some of the guys on there would tear him a new arsehole...
 
Yeah, worse than the ///M police over there. Would be funny though to read the posts of incredulity that someone would dare to build a "homage" :D
 
Ruined a perfectly good 2.2 Z4 by putting all that TAT on it :poke: :poke: :rofl: :lol: :rofl:
If the new owner does join the forum, he must be allowed to post in the hallowed Alpina section...surely ??
And I wonder what production number it is :rofl: :wink:

Anyone can post in the Alpina section... it's not 'hallowed' and we're not as anal about things as the ///M boys... :wink:
 
There was a 3.0 Silver replica knocking around for sale last year for about £5k. If it was in the £3-4k's I'd have been tempted to buy it and run it as a winter car/daily , leaving the genuine #019 for the special occasions and keeping the mileage down.

Like you say, there's a £1000's worth of wheels, plus the spare body parts if its the same colour as your real one !
 
If any of you Alpina boys do buy a replica for spare bits. Please let me know as i could do with a shall and engine. Maybe just a shell to do something crazy with.
 
I wonder if it's a trader selling it?

He seems to have bought and sold a few cars over the last year judging by his feedback, the Autosmart carpet covers and the mention of a warranty available at extra cost :roll:

The buyer would be able to post a title, but no content...... Just like the car !
 
Doesn't this fall into the "too good to be true" category? As Perry says, the wheels and other Alpina bits must be worth a lot and car is low mileage and looks clean. If I was interested I would be very careful.

Usual checks required but I don't see anything obviously suspicious? It's got six days to run at auction and has already had 9 bids, it looks to be a nice car with interest so I can't see it going suspiciously cheap.

My mistake - I read the advert as been classified and that c£2.5k was the asking price. I guess I need to be more careful in my reading! :P

Combine that with a bottle of red and you could be in trouble :ebay:
