My Alpina Roadster S
My Alpina Roadster S
Bought back in March, finally got around to adding some photos! Love this car to bits, so glad I went for this instead of an E46 M3!!

Thanks John! I half considered a Z4M Roadster but they just somehow didn't look quite special enough to me, especially from the rear. I was pondering an e46 m3 and this popped up in the Ebay search. As soon as I saw it I knew that was the car I wanted. The exhaust note is absolutely sublime, a chap in an e60 M5 with an exhaust bypass valve actually pulled up next to me the other day to say how he didn't expect a Z4 to be that loud!John_C wrote:Lovely, I have a proper soft spot for these. Was looking at Z4M's the other day and I have to say I think I'd rather have the roadster.
Haven't driven a Z4m but as far as I'm aware there is nothing in it in terms of performance.

Looks like they were taken at the Goodwood Breakfast Club 
We have the B3 booked in for the next meeting in November. Any other Alpina's going?
1ST NOVEMBER: ‘BAHN-STORMER SUNDAY
Fun, fun, fun didn’t start with Kraftwerk – Auto Unions were setting records on the first stretch of German Autobahn as early as 1935. So we’d love to see some pre-war beasties at our new for 2015 ‘bahn-stormer’ themed Breakfast Club, but does anyone else get misty-eyed over of old magazine road-test mentions of 155mph ‘limiters’ on BMWs and Mercs from the 1980s? If your ‘modern’ machinery could crack the magic 155mph fresh from the showroom – this theme is for you too!

Well spotted! Yes it was Goodwood Soft-top Sunday which I highly recommend. It was a beautiful day for it and there was a really great variety of cars there from a range of different eras and price brackets.
May head down to Bahn-Stormer Sunday if the weather forecast looks half decent...
