I'm trying to help a friend of mine find one of these...I know they are all automatic but she can't drive manual and she likes the Alpina package anyway...

I have searched Ebay, Autotrader, Cars.com, and a few other places...can someone point me in perhaps an E52 specific forum where they'd have a classifieds section or even a website that would specialize in limited production European cars...I'd appreciate it alot! Thanks!

Deff. check out dupont regisrty... Something like that is pretty rare, and wouldn't be found in a normal classified

Check out Valley BMW in Modesto California they have an Alpina Z8 on the showroom floor it has been there almost a year. I believe it used to be the personal car of the guy who owns the dealership.

HTH,

Thanks alot...I just checked Valley's website and it does show that they have a Z8 there...I will call them tomorrow. :)

If that doesn't work out, try posting your message at www.bmwz8.us. That's where Z8 owners "play." Also, Crevier BMW in Irvine, CA had a new Alpina Roadster on the showroom a couple of weeks ago. May still be there.

Saw one of those today near my place (in Calabasas, CA). Silver on red/black (best color IMO). Looked really hot, especially with the 20" Alpina rims. :buttrock

The only thing I don't like about the Z8 (and Alpina V8-R) is the fact that the gauges are in the center of the dash, and that it's not ergonomic. But I'm sure if I actually drove one I'd be more forgiving. :)

Thanks for the help guys...we ended up finding a Silver one in Texas with almost 9,000 miles. I'll get some pictures in a few weeks. :)

EDIT - Here's the link to the car if anyone is interested...
