Description:

The BMW Z8 inherited its timeless, classic design with roadster-atypical proportions from the legendary BMW 507, which BMW rolled out on the road in the mid-1950s. The “Revival of the Legend”, was BMW’s headline for the presentation of the Z8 at the IAA 1999, which was voted “Classic of the Future” in the “Open Cars” category by the readers of “Motor Klassik” magazine in 2003. As a modern interpretation of its famous predecessor, this roadster builds a bridge from the past via the present into the future.

From March 2000 to July 2003, 5,703 units were hand-built in the Z8 manufactory at the manufacture in Munich.

The vehicle presented here was originally delivered in the USA. The first owner acquired the car directly from a BMW dealer in Virginia. The car was in first-hand ownership there until 2019. In September 2019, a German enthusiast acquired the vehicle. According to the available documentation, the BMW has only two previous owners and a total mileage of only 37,000 km. A very beautiful and rare example in collector’s condition with great classic potential, in which not only James Bond cuts a fine figure in “The world is not enough” in 1999!

The BMW Z8 was only available with full equipment, including: 6-speed manual gearbox, driver and passenger airbags, alarm system, ABS, cruise control, air conditioning, electric steering column adjustment, radio, CD changer, navigation system, hands-free system, alloy wheels, xenon lights, body-coloured hardtop with heated rear window, etc.
