Alpina built its Z4-based Roadster S in Europe for just two years — 370 cars total, nearly half of them right-hand-drive for the UK.
This Alpina Roadster broke new ground in the US: it was the first Alpina ever sold through regular BMW dealerships, not a private import.
When the Z8 ended, Alpina's own Roadster V8 took over for its final year - and became the first Alpina ever sold through regular BMW dealerships in the US.
Alpina converted 66 Z1s into its Roadster Limited Edition, with 0.2 litres more displacement and 30 more horsepower.
