2005 BMW Alpina Roadster S | Llanidloes, Powys

A 2005 BMW Alpina Roadster S, the Alpina-tuned version of the BMW Z4 open sports car. It is known for its 3.4-litre straight-six, rated at 300 PS, and for details that mark it out from a standard Z4: Alpina's front spoiler, its own alloy wheels and blue-faced instruments. This car is grey with a red interior, so the cabin shows as a strong block of colour whenever the roof is down. The open two-seat body is low and wide, which leaves the surroundings visible in the frame and puts driver and passenger clearly in view. Photography, fashion and editorial shoots get a clean grey shape with a vivid interior to work with, and music video and advertising crews can film from every angle with the roof open. Film and TV productions set in the early 2000s will find a European roadster that suits the period. Weddings and personal hires work too, as a smart open-top arrival. The car is based in Llanidloes, Powys.
