It's a RHD car so would have been made for the UK market and the ad says that it was originally a Sytner car.Dav the wheel nut said:
It's possible that it was owned by someone in the Channel Islands which means that it would have officially been exported - if you bring a car back from the CI to the mainland, you have to re-register it and pay VAT.
Alternatively, it could also have been exported to Ireland and then brought back to the UK
The engine wasn't really discontinued as Alpina only built them as required, but production of the RS was stopped because it didn't meet the Euro4 emissions regs - bit of chicken/egg situation there as you could say the engine was the reason that it didn't meet the regs.ZermattV said:
It's just pure coincidence that BMW announced the Z4M in October 2005 just as the last batch of Alpina RS' were being built...... honest, guv :wink:
They are like buses around here, don't see one for ages then 3 come alongPerryGunn said:
And it has been noted that we are the "rare zed" by a reporter at the Haynes meet.
Yep - that is the one I almost bought - the number plate I remember and the clear xenons - it was for sale 5 miles from where I live and I drove it the week before I bought my M .
It also has an Alpina badge on the rear which looks a bit strange- it's on for the same money as it was up for up here 2.5 years ago.
