Product Overview

Alpina Roadster V8 E52 is a compact convertible in production from 2002 to 2006. It was powered by modified Alpina F5 naturally-aspirated 4.8L V8 engine based on the BMW M62.

Unlike the standard Z8, the Roadster V8 used a horrible ZF 5HP automatic transmission, and its engine is less impressive than the S62 found in the BMW. Hence, the Alpina came out less impressive and is less collectible, despite low sales.
