Roadster S spotted… 👀

Another Alpina up for sale...

#317 only about 31k on the clock so one of the lowest mileage cars still in the UK - although there are a few that are under 20k (and one that was still sub-10k as of its last MOT)

The first E85 I drove was an Alpina S and to be honest, it put me of the range entirely.

Dead steering, a chassis that felt like it had lead weights for wheels and a dull engine note.

A year years later I drove a friends 3.0si which was a big improvement. No more leaden chassis and a lovely engine. So I test drove an M and was smitten.

Each to their own though, as always

Wow so you’d say the 3.0si is a better drive than a roadster S!? Never driven a roadster S but is defo a Z4 and Alpina I’d like to buy one day, just bought my second Z4 and a 3.0si be interested to hear from somone who’s owned both on a comparison.

For me it was, yes. A more freer revving engine with a lovely engine note, more resolved handling and without that feeling of having an anchor for a wheel at each corner.

But you might find it different
