Vehicle Description
Just two owners from new, and driven only 8,501 miles! Outstanding
future collectible with many investors already taking notice! Rare
Black exterior over Sportsred/Black Leather interior with all
original factory accessories included! One of only 524 produced in
2002! A true sports car of the era, and still one of the most
entertaining to drive today! Call about this�2002 BMW Z8 Roadster
we have for sale! Designed in secret for nearly nine years, the
brilliantly sculpted BMW Z8 (internally coded E52) was loosely
based in homage to the BMW 507 of the late 1950's. Those limited
productions, hand-built roadsters produced between 1955-1959 would
mean only 252 BMW 507's could find USA soil. All of which went to
people of wealthy means considering their $10,000+ MRSP! Thanks to
BMW designers and engineers in the 1990's, a fresh retro version
was sitting on the design pages until 1997, when a concept vehicle
hit the Tokyo Auto Show scene nicknamed the "Z07." Further
development into 1999 provided Hollywood, and James Bond, the first
seen Z8 for the movie "The World is Not Enough" featuring Pierce
Brosnan behind the wheel! The general public could finally have one
of their own in 2000, with production ceasing for United States
buyers in 2003. Only 2,543 units would ever be available, all of
which continue to explode in collectability today! Our 2002 BMW Z8
Roadster For Sale Is Similar To The BMW 507 Similar to the BMW 507,
the newly revised BMW Z8 body was built entirely of aluminum, but
this time with modern space frame technology for utmost rigidity,
also consisting of all-aluminum suspension components. The powerful
4.9L V8 engine (shared with the larger M-Series M5 sedan) produced
400 horsepower and 370 lb. ft. of torque through a smooth shifting
6-speed manual transmission! Considering the car was perfectly
designed to provide an equal 50/50 weight distribution, comfortable
2-seat passenger compartment, and nothing left off the creature
comfort list, the Z8's weight was shaved down to only 3,494 pounds
to provide one of the most adrenaline-charged rides one could buy
in the early 21st Century! Even Car and Driver Magazine test
results showed the Ferrari 360 Modena couldn't match this little
rocket in acceleration, braking, and handling! This particular
stunning example has had only two careful owners since selling new
in North Miami Beach, FL on August 15th, 2002. It remains 100%
accident-free with all original paint, showing just 8,501 actual
miles! It traded hands to land into the professional collection of
Evergreen Historic Automobiles in August 2016. Finished in highly
desired Schwarz Black over rare Sportsred/Black combination leather
interior! Fully featured to include air conditioning, power 4-wheel
disc brakes with ABS, Xenon headlamps, auxiliary hardtop, power
folding soft top, chrome exterior power sport mirrors, power
windows, heated seats, full driver instrumentation, factory
BMW/Motorola cell phone, 18" silver painted alloy wheels wrapped in
Bridgestone Potenza tires, aluminum door sill plates, keyless
entry, Anti-theft alarm system, dual vanity mirrors, accessory cup
holder, and so much more! Also included will be the original tool
kit, BMW battery maintainer, soft top protective window cloth &
storage bag, red leather windscreen & black soft top boot cover
with storage bag, BMW security lug nuts, and front license plate
bracket (never installed). This represents one of only 524 Z8's
built-in 2002, and far fewer in this excellent color combination!
You will be hard-pressed to find the exhilarating performance in
true convertible roadster form, with a traditional manually-shifted
transmission, on the market! Take note collectors, the visceral
experience of cars like this are becoming a thing of the past!
