The 2003 BMW Alpina Roadster Z8 comes one way, with the best of the best. At this level, if you wish to change things because of a desire to express yourself in your vehicle, well, it can be done by choosing black or titanium silver for the outside and red and black or crema for the inside. Other than that there are no options or trim levels.
The interior is a demonstration of simple elegance.
A push-button start, 3-spoke aluminum hand-sewn leather-wrapped steering wheel, aluminum control knobs and body-colored glossy metallic instrument cluster and matching soft Nappa leather seating and surfaces are a perfect collection of textures and straightforward design.
Apart from the form, there is also much function. Standards include air conditioning, cruise control, leather upholstery, power steering, windows and door locks, heated power mirrors, remote keyless entry, heated power bucket seats, navigation system, cellular telephone, automatic day/night rearview mirror, analog clock, outside-temperature display and a power convertible soft-top. A removable aluminum hardtop is also included with every 2003 BMW Z8.
The sides are a throwback to vintage class. BMW side grills, teardrop mirrors and the elegant door handles are finished with chrome. The front is equally sexy with a twin kidney grille, integrated fog lamp and Xenon headlights.
This is a little car with a big engine: a V8 with 4,8-liters of displacement and 375hp, in fact. Combine that with 383 lb-ft of maximum torque and you have a car that will satisfy the greediest urge for sheer muscle.
The 5-speed Switchtronic automatic transmission gets the 2003 BMW Z8 from 0-60mph in just 5 seconds while advanced power management and physical control technology will make it an easy 5 seconds and make the most challenging cliff-top road route a breeze to negotiate.
The 2003 BMW Z8 has massive ventilated disc brakes with an advanced antilock system that will allow the 0-60 to be reversed in 2.5 seconds. Front and side airbags, roll bars and various advanced handling systems are also in place.
