The Bovensiepen Name Returns to the Open Road, Six Figures Required

The Bovensiepen family, the tuners behind generations of Alpina-badged BMWs, is putting its name on a new drop-top built from the BMW Z4 platform. The car makes 429 horsepower, enough to put it in serious sports-car territory rather than a mere styling exercise. Getting one will require a check well into six figures. It marks a return for a name collectors of BMW's specialty performance cars have tracked closely for decades.
