DESCRIPTION

This is Alpina's 50th. Anniversary year. The company was founded in 1965 specialising in carburettors and revised cylinder heads with BMWs their main focus and it was not long before successes came in motorsport, winning the European Touring Car Championship in 1970 and the Spa 24hrs, necessitating a move to a new facility in Buchloe. Alpina worked very closely with BMW and eventually the upgrades became integrated into BMW's production lines and as such, Alpina is now recognised as an automobile manufacturer by the German Ministry of Transport. In 1967, with the inception of its ever-enduring trademark logo, the brand had truly arrived. Offered here is a stunning 2004 BMW Alpina Roadster S Lux finished in the rare colour combination of Alpina Blue with a black leather interior featuring Alpina inserts. It has a full BMW service record, except for one specialist stamp, and only 28,600 miles has been covered by five owners. It has led a cherished life which includes £926 recently spent at Rybrook BMW on front discs and pads.No faults were found during a Vehicle Health Check at Rybrook this Spring, and at the same time they also carried out the latest service with the odometer indicating 28,446 miles. It has all the original equipment and documentation in an Alpina leather wallet and comes with a full MoT. The vehicle was initially specified with the Lux Pack which consisted of : Park assist, wind deflector, Xenon headlights, Satellite navigation, phone prep, a 6 CD changer, headlamp wash, Alpina interior treatment to the dash and door trims, and Alpina 19inch wheels. The Roadster S is the last Alpina with a hand-built engine assembled by its technicians at Buchloe using a wide range of Alpina specific components including the entire induction system. Having been developed for the B3 and then the B3S, the straight six is a remarkable piece of engineering in its final iteration, with 300bhp and a wonderful bespoke feel. The car sounds wonderful, has a tactile six-speed manual gearbox and has been thoroughly engineered by Alpina, who even tuned the seats to match the suspension, giving it a surprisingly comfortable ride alongside impressive dynamics. A parade lap of Silverstone is scheduled to celebrate Alpina's 50th anniversary over the Classic weekend. This is a beautifully assembled Alpina Roadster and represents the pinnacle of Alpina engineering with great value at today's guide.
