I agree. My mom's 5 series is faster than my teg, but my teg is way lighter and louder, so it just seems faster.

looks just like the regular Z8.

goto www.bmwusa.com and click on Z4 there will be a submenu for Alpina Roadster.

I dunno if I would trust myself with something that expensive.
But that is something nice to cruise in. :thumbup:



















BTW if you see a TCS button switch it to the off position.

MB doesn't call it TCS it's called ESP.

and I wouldn't turn it off on a 90K car that isn't mine.

yeah, im smiling when driving the bimmer and falling asleep when driving the benzo. h:



and why not the civic hybrid with a t3 turbo be able to beat a stock SL500? are you saying the SL500 stock is a 12sec car?? of course, on the freeway, its no contest and the SL will walk away.
