2003 BMW Z8

This 2003 BMW Alpina Roadster V8 has just over 4,500 miles and is #394 of 555 examples produced. It is powered by a 4.8-liter M62 V8 paired with a five-speed Switch-Tronic automatic transmission and is finished in Titanium Silver Metallic over Sport Red and black leather upholstery. The car was optioned with a color-matched removable hardtop, a black soft top, staggered-width 20″ Ronal wheels, xenon headlights, heated power-adjustable sport seats, a six-disc CD changer, a Harman Kardon sound system, navigation, and air conditioning. The selling dealer acquired the car in 2023, and replacement spark plugs were reportedly fitted in preparation for the sale. This Alpina Roadster V8 is now offered in Florida with a hardtop stand, an Alpina-branded hardtop cover, a clean Carfax report, and a clean New Jersey title. The Henrik Fisker-designed Z8 drew inspiration from the 507 roadster of the 1950s and features aluminum body panels over an aluminum spaceframe. The Alpina Roadster was produced for the 2003 model year after standard Z8 production ended, and this example is finished in Titanium Silver Metallic. Exterior details include a color-matched removable hardtop, a black soft top, xenon headlights with washers, front fender air extractors with BMW roundels, painted mirror caps, dual exhaust outlets, a boot cover, and neon taillights and turn indicators. A hardtop stand and an Alpina-branded hardtop cover are included in the sale. Staggered-width 20″ Ronal wheels are mounted with Michelin tires. The four-wheel disc brake system is equipped with Dynamic Brake Control (DBC), and the Alpina model received a softer suspension as compared to the standard Z8. Additional features include Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) and All-Season Traction (ASC). The cabin features Sport Red and black Nappa leather upholstery that extends from the heated power-adjustable seats to the dashboard and door panels. Amenities include a six-disc CD changer, navigation, a Harman Kardon sound system, leather-wrapped roll hoops, air conditioning, and cruise control. Loose upholstery on the dashboard is noted by the seller. A plaque mounted between the seats denotes this Alpina Roadster as chassis #394 of 555 in the series. The leather-wrapped three-spoke steering wheel features Switch-Tronic shift buttons and frames an Alpina-branded gear indicator ahead of the driver. Centrally mounted instrumentation includes a 170-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer with an integrated analog clock, and gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level. The digital odometer indicates 4,500 miles, approximately 20 of which were added under current ownership. The 4.8-liter M62 V8 was shared with the contemporary B10 V8 S and features double-VANOS variable valve timing, individual throttle bodies, a double-row timing chain, and hollow camshafts. Factory-rated output was 375 horsepower and 396 lb-ft of torque. The seller states the spark plugs were replaced in preparation for the sale. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed Switch-Tronic automatic transmission. The Carfax report shows no accidents or other damage and lists history in Virginia, Florida, West Virginia, California, New Jersey, and New York.
