  | What happens to the Roadster S? -
06-07-2007, 01:19 PM
Hi guys!! I visited the Alpina website yesterday and I noticed, that the Alpina Roadster S (based on the Z4) is no longer available.  I really like this type of Z4 and so I want to know, if anyone of you have informations about a new Roadster S (based on the facelifted Z4)...It was the best looking Z4 so far...

The last time I heard anything about the Roadster S is when EVO magazine last tested it. They said the car was no longer in production because BMW will no longer supply Alpina with the specific engine (apparently it's 'emissions' related). |

The engine of the Roadster S is based upon the US Version of the E36 M3 engine. This engine doesn't meet the european emission standard "EU4", but only EU3. It's no more allowed to sell a car within the European Union without EU4. Because of that Alpina had to discontinue the Roadster S. There's no facelift Roadster S, I doubt they will offer one with the new B3 engine. (Next generation Z4 I guess). Best regards, south |
