Alpina Market Watch

Been looking at M's lately, perhaps I should be considering Alpinas??
Off to browse!! :roll:

Don't do it, I went loking at M's, and new shape Z4s, but fell in love with the 1st Alpina I saw/drove and bought it.

Thanks Perry - # now edited.

Were Alpina side indicator badges an option or are they aftermarket stick on ones?

Also noticed something else I to get to get mine back to 100% stock.. "BMW Alpina Roadster S" sill covers, mine are just BMW standard ones.

The boot/bonnet/side indicators are BMW parts so retain the BMW badges. Any Alpina roundels you see are aftermarket (usually crap quality and fade quickly)

There appear to be a couple of different designs for the cill cover logos but they all say ALPINA on them - because of the location, they're easily scratched/marked and yours wouldn't be the first I've seen where the owner has replaced them with standard BMW items due to the high cost of the Alpina ones....

If you want a personal opinion, have a look at ZedWheels' car... #105

I hear a rumour that Zedwheels has a buyer from the ZRoadster forum who is also a Z3M owner. It may not have been signed and sealed but it was in progress on Monday

Yes sadly mine has now gone to a new owner who has already posted on the zroadster forum that he feels so lucky to be the owner of
number 105, he's over the moon with it! He is intending to sell one of his Z3ms now. Great guy so happy he now has a big smile in his
lovely Alpina.
Me on the other hand, well I am now the owner of an M135i in white with red interior, another fab car but it has four seats and a solid roof
I do though have a roof light. :roll:

Thank you Perry for your kind comments, appreciated. :thumbsup:

We cant keep everything forever, however much we love them. Some people don't have the same passion for it as us. We have been fortunate to own and drive some of the best looking and exciting affordable sports cars of the last 40 years. When I hang my driving gloves up I can proudly say " I had a z4 M coupe and bloody loved every minute of it". Not a lot of people can say that. :D

Been on since 25/2/17 and detailed on page 7 - Keep up Fred :poke:

Started at £19,995 and now at £21,995 strangely ! Odd reasons for sale in adverts too. One says everything must go due to family crisis and then also says in no hurry to sell it !

Anyone know if the blue one at the classic car auction sold and if so how much for ?
Bidding on #069 reached £16k and stopped before hitting the reserve price - whatever that was.

It was quoted at £18-22 K

Lovely looking car .. Sytners have one up at £24k which looks very expensive

That's Chi Lam's car. I think he's been considering selling it on and off for a number of years as I nearly went to see it when I very first started thinking about buying an Alpina Z4. How many years ago was that Perry? When we met on that Welsh trip...gotta be 4 years ago at least?

I never actually went to see it at the time but was very tempted by that mileage and sounded like a really nice car.

Capture.PNGDo they register as Alpina or BMW?

Also it would seem to be this one has been in an accident at some point.

Usually this one is for cars that have gashes and panels etc hanging off them? Lack of Grammar on a car advert of this calibre indicates desperation imo.
