All went to plan in a great day out. You just cannot photograph 43 cars in a picture very easily, but we managed !

Thankyou!
It's a shame though, as its a self perpetuating thing isnt it ?

Great pics and a good turn out of Roadsters, thanks for posting.

Perhaps you should change your name to number 19!!

Have you had a headlight conversion on your car?

Yes, I was No 5 before I bought the Alpina ! I think #005 is a RHD in blue, so not my ideal car.

The previous owner split the lights and put some Angel eyes in. Not OEM but it does give it a more modern look and they are really bright.

Looks like a great day - and good to see ALPINA represented - not often you see 5 Roadster S's together - or 2 for that matter.

Thanks for sharing !

Given the exclusivity of the RS its a phenomenal effort to get 5 together. Even more so to get a pic with 43 cars all in it too

Out of curiosity did the Dynamic wheels come as standard on the Roadster S as I can;t recall seeing one on classics?

Classics were available as a no-cost option... but I don't think many people took up the option as they just don't look as good as the Dynamics on the RS

This image is an unusual one, I have not seen the roadster in either classics or the decals up the side like that before.

Great images from the original post also it looked like a good day out.

I think Dynamics and no side stripes was definitely the way to go with the Roadster S.

Those side stripes don't seem to work at all with the body lines of the Roadster and the wheels do nothing for it either.

Z4 meet looks great, hopefully I can make the next one whenever that is!

Agree 100% with that one. The current line up is pretty big at the moment for new autos from Alpina and I wonder if there will be a return to a Roadster in the coming years.
