Sold: Alpina Roadster S

For sale: my much cherished Alpina Roadster S Lux. Many on here will know this car, having been to a fair few meets. I have owned the car since October 2009 (bought from Sytner’s, Nottingham) but (as mentioned to a few members at ZedFest) circumstances for me have changed recently meaning I need to move to automatic transmissions, so the car needs to find a new home or be traded in.

The car is in very good condition with a recent front end respray removing the bonnet & a-pillar stone chips and a small lacquer peel on the front wing. It has a full BMW Service history and has just been put through an Inspection II service (it has done around 20 miles since the service), so next one due in 2 years/20,000 miles will be an Oil Service.

It comes with a set of 19” Bayern Spartans (8.5” ET40 front, 9.5” ET45 rear) with Vredestein Sessanta tyres and Richbrook flush-fit valves (I will also supply 2 x airline connectors). I will include the original 19” Alpina Dynamics (although both rears have small repaired cracks).

I plan for the car to remain as is, but will also include the original OEM parts; helpful if the new owner wants to go back to stock. These include: Xenon headlights, rear lights, and gear knob – even the original whippy aerial, air scoop, original OEM Alpina springs (newly powder-coated) and the original 2004-2 SatNav discs plus official 2009-2 updates.

I will also be leaving the additions on the car:
  • The gap-tech (soldered in, not scotch-blocked)
  • Intravee II (with Scorsche adapter and iPhone lightning conversion cable, plus adapted ashtray)
  • Zhp gearknob (custom leather wrapped with contrasting red stitching, to match the Alpina leather enhancements)
  • Front & rear facing cameras plus parking mode and a Lukas LK-290 battery monitor. These have been fuse-tapped in to the main fuse box, so are on a separate circuit rather than connected into another loom
  • Additional under-seat storage box (original in usual place under the passenger seat)
  • Additional side cargo storage net in the boot
  • CTek Battery charge point in the rear boot, plus cTek MXS 5.0 battery charger (with connecting lead plus standard battery clips, in original bag)
  • Suspension upgrade to Bilstein B12 kit, with Rogue engineering rear top mounts and Compbrake adjustable front top mounts
  • Stainless steel braided brake lines front & rear
  • OEM Strut brace (powder-coated in black, to match original struts) with screw covers and strut tower end caps
  • "Dan" ram air scoop
  • Clear 4-spot rears (with lamin-x lightly tinted film, to match original high-level brake light) – note these were originally full clears but they’ve been red tinted, lacquered and then lamin-x protected.
  • Clear side indicators
  • Clear-split headlights with CCFL Angel eyes and “chaser” indicators, and lamin-x clear protectors
  • LED lighting (LED rear number plate lights, LED reversing lights, LED indicators, LED fog lights front & rear, LED Boot lights, LED interior lights)
  • Tracker (full documents supplied)

Details of the car:
  • Alpina Roadster S Lux, number 108 of 167 made
  • Hellrot, with Oregon black leather interior
  • Mileage at 118,900
  • Back on original plates (as shown in the photographs below)
  • Full BMW Service History:
    • 05 April 2005 - Sytners Nottingham – 1,619 miles - Running in check
    • 08 February 2006 – Sytners Nottingham – 15,107 miles - Oil Service and Brake Fluid
    • 13 June 2007 – Sytners Nottingham – 31,575 miles - Inspection I
    • 22 May 2008 – Sytners Nottingham – 43,561 miles - Oil Service and Brake Fluid
    • 16 September 2010 – Sytners Nottingham – 69,137 miles - Oil Service and Brake Fluid
    • 28 October 2011 – Sytners Nottingham – 79,723 miles - Inspection II
    • 09 October 2012 – Sopers Lincoln – 86,873 miles - Oil Service and Brake Fluid
    • 09 June 2014 – Sopers Lincoln – 102,129 miles - Inspection I
    • 29 October 2015 – Sopers Lincoln – 105,122 miles - Oil Service and Brake Fluid
    • 27 October 2017 – Sopers Lincoln – 118,889 miles - Inspection II and Brake Fluid

The car has had a new roof motor in 2015 (invoice supplied) and is now relocated into the boot. In 2012 I also had the steering rack and column replaced under warranty as the car showed symptoms of “notchy” steering. I will also supply 2 new tins of Hellrot paint. I have all documents and invoices throughout my ownership, 2 keys and the original manuals (with Alpina folder) – see photographs below.

Price (to this forum) is £12,000.
 
Folder contain all invoices, MOTs, and original purchase documents, plus the Alpina folder and original booklets with two keys included:

Your car looks fantastic OP. :thumbsup:

Sorry to hear of your enforced change to an auto. but hopefully it may still be a Z4! I hope you'll share some photos of it's replacement.

I would have said good luck with the sale, but it looks like you already have a buyer.

Shame to see you having to sell- what's he planned replacement?

Not sure as yet, still looking but likely to stay with the marque, paddy. Not planning on leaving the forum yet though :)
 
Sad days Mark.
I saw this car in the flesh at Zedfest and whilst it's not OEM for the Alpina purists, Mark has made some lovely subtle mods to the car and meticulously cared for it.
Someone will be smiling from ear to ear shortly.

Good luck Mark :thumbsup:
 
I’ve met Mark and seen this car in the flesh, it’s a beauty, sorry you’re moving it on, I’m sure it won’t hang around too long :driving: 8)

Good to hear on all fronts! :thumbsup:
 
Sorry to hear you’re having to sell up Mark, but hopefully the replacement will be just as awesome. Someone very lucky is going to get a beautiful car 8)

Really good of you to give the OEM parts with the car, not everyone on here is so generous, especially the foreigners :roll: :D

I see the OEM wheels are not included though :wink:

Mark is an absolute gent, a very knowledgable fastidious owner and straight down the line, buy with complete confidence. :thumbsup:
Cheers John, cheques in the post :thumbsup:
 
It’s a shame the Alpina wasn’t for sale when I bought the M earlier this year Mark, I would have had it off you instead.

Best of luck and keep on the forum fella. :)

Will do matey - and strangely, it might as well have been for sale earlier, as I haven't managed to drive it much this year anyways :roll:
