entertaining to drive today! Call about this2002 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 1950s. Those limited
productions, hand-built roadsters produced between 1955-1959 would
mean only 252 BMW 507s 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 1990s, 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
Z8s 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 couldnt 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 ccident-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

transmission, on the market! Take note collectors, the visceral
experience of cars like this are becoming a thing of the past!
