4,800cc DOHC 32-Valve V8 Engine Bosch Motronic Fuel Injection 375bhp at 6,600rpm 5-Speed Steptronic Transmission 4-Wheel Independent Suspension 4-Wheel Disc Brakes *Exceptional condition inside and out *Number 140 of just 555 cars built *Fewer than 18,000 miles *Offered with Hardtop and factory accessories THE BMW Z8 In 1956, BMW released the 507, a stunning two-seat Roadster that delivered exhilarating performance, luxury, and rarity that remains one of the most coveted BMW models ever produced. At the 1997 Tokyo Auto Show, BMW displayed a stylish retro-inspired concept car, the Z07. The Henrik Fisker-designed concept was initially intended to merely exist as a sole concept; however, the incredible reception and overwhelmingly positive acclaim spurred the decision to put it into limited serial production in 1999. The resulting Z8 remained remarkably faithful to the Z07 concept, with the 507-like twin-nostril front grille and distinctive front-wing vents. A period-style interior had been one of the Z07's most remarked upon features, and that too made it into the Z8, including a banjo-style steering wheel. The sleek and taught bodywork was all wrought in aluminum, as was the space-frame chassis. The V8 engine was aluminum as well, with massive torque and horsepower figures. Needless to say, the Z8 was fitted with all the luxury appointments befitting a flagship model: traction control, stability control, front and side air bags, GPS navigation, climate control, and power operation of the seats, steering wheel, and convertible top. Along with being a stunning, hand built limited-production Roadster, BMW further enhanced the Z8's appeal to collectors by announcing that a 50-year stockpile of Z8 parts would be maintained. Despite a hefty launch price, initial demand was so high that a bidding war broke out, with many Z8s selling for well in excess of MSRP. By the time production ceased in 2002, 5,703 of these fabulous cars had been built. With production of the Z8 completed by November of 2002, for 2003 the Z8 was replaced by the limited edition Alpina V8 Roadster. A new, softer grade of Nappa leather replaced the Z8's less supple specification, and special Alpina gauges were featured on the dash cluster. An Alpina steering wheel with three solid spokes replaced the original, and larger Alpina wheels where fitted. In the United States, this special edition Z8 was sold directly through BMW dealerships, marking a first for Alpina, whose cars had never been sold through retail channels in the U.S. Only 555 of these Alpinas were built. THE MOTORCAR OFFERED This Alpina V8 Roadster, one of just 555 examples produced worldwide and 450 for the US market, first landed on US shores on March 4th, 2003. Two months later, the first owner took delivery of this sporty roadster in Knoxville, Tennessee. During the first owner's brief fifteen months with the car, this Alpina covered nearly half of its overall miles. The car then ventured west to California, where it was acquired by its second owner in 2004, a La Jolla, California-based enthusiast, with whom the car would remain until 2016. While being serviced regularly and used sparingly during his 11-year ownership, he covered just over 8,000 miles in this stunning V8-engined Alpina. The second owner showed the car occasionally, including several appearances at the La Jolla Concours d'Elegance. The CARFAX report lists the ownership history correctly, but also has some clerical errors recorded. Having benefited from collector ownership since 2004, this two-seater remains in excellent original condition. The Silver Metallic paintwork, complimented by the unmistakable 20-inch Alpina multispoke wheels, is in stunning condition and accentuates the sleek BMW 507-inspired bodywork designed by renowned car designer, Henrik Fisker. The interior, swathed in black and red leather, is in similarly great condition with no discernible wear. This car has undergone service and maintenance in the past years, incl
