Hi All
Looking at the Alpina Roadster S, seen a few but wondered if there was anything in particular to watch out for on them?
Any advice appreciated.

What you need to look out for is an Alpina Blue 04 one, just like mine. Currently advertised on pistonheads: http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/200577.htm

Just been serviced, polished and very well cared for. I've a viewing tomorrow, but if things don't go to plan come and have a look.

Congrats on the sale.. I saw yours the night it went on Pistonheads.. I only wish I had had the cash..

Yep had to give my loan one back (though plan to replace it at some point - sooner rather than later...)

Sure did enjoy the trip home....well half of it, it took me until 6pm to get to Leamington - the traffic was horrible! The rest was fine.
The engine is a cracker, 20mph in six all the way to 170mph! (not that I tried it!) but it's just so flexible.

welcome to the forum Rich and welcome to ALPINA ownership - the Roadster is certainly one of the bests (if not these best ALPINA of recent times).
