Alpina Running in service

[Anonymous]

Just put a deposit on an Alpina Roadster S. Thing is the running in service is 1200 miles and this particular one never had that service until 2800 miles. Will this be a problem?

Might invalidate parts of the engine warantee, I understand not adhering to the 1200 mile run in service can render it void on the M spec engines... is this from a private sale or a main bmw dealership?

I wouldn't be overally concerned and I guess you're not either seeing as you put a deposit down on it

I love the ALPINA Z4's! I wish they were in the US! Anyone know where i can get a alpina body kit? (really just the spoiler it looks so HAWT). Just curious how much do they go for over there? :hijacked:

Speaking from an M perspective, the running in service, if not carried out by 1200 miles - invalidates elements of the warranty.

Personally, if its recommended that a 1200 mile running in service occurs, I wouldn't buy one if it hasn't had it when it should do.

I did not know the Alpina needed it?

On the Z4M and M3, a late running in service generally means walk away - if purely from a resale perspective...

Defy, I'm presently inquiring about price for the spoiler kit. I'll let you know when I get it. Or, you could inquire for yourself, here are the Alpina part numbers:

- Alpina Aerodynamic Package Order No. 41 00 545
Or
- Package with Flat or Metallic paint order No. 41 00 544

Don't have the BMW part numbers that match. Kit fits 03' to 05'

Note: Rear spoiler can only be purchased with front as a kit. I emailed Alpina in Germany ato get them direct but we need to go thru a BMW Dealer (US or Canada) to get them.

Me neither. Can't be too picky when there are so few around. Warranty has probably run out by now anyway seeing as its an Alpina.
