The BMW Z8 Alpina Roadster is the softer, cushier brother of the standard Z8. Whereas the Z8 used the E39 M5's V8 engine, the Alpina uses a stroked version of the 540i engine, with an automatic rather than a manual transmission. The suspension is tuned softer, the interior is cushier, and because less than 500 Alpina's were made (compared to 2500 Z8's), they are actually more valuable, despite the automatic.

This Z8 Alpina is for sale at Fusion Luxury Motors in Chatsworth, CA, who allowed me to drive it for this video. Check out Fusion's entire (very cool) inventory at: http://www.fusionluxurymotors.com
