Vehicle Description
2002 BMW Z8 Roadster
This Jet Black 2002 BMW Z8 Roadster, a limited-production,
all-aluminum chassis sports car designed in collaboration with
Chris Bangel, Henrik Fisker, and Scott Lempert, pays homage to the
iconic BMW 507 Roadster. This low-mile example has been
meticulously maintained throughout its ownership as indicated by
Carfax. Its retro-styling features aluminum bodywork, including
fender vents with BMW roundels and front grills inspired by the
original 507. It incorporates a unique exterior lighting system
with neon-tube taillights and turn signals. The S62 V8 engine and
6-speed manual transmission borrowed from the E39 M5 sports sedan
reportedly propels this Roadster from 0-60 MPH in 4.2 seconds. An
indication of its gentlemanly good looks and deadly performance,
the BMW Z8 replaced the legendary Aston Martin DB5 as James Bond's
weapon of choice in the 1999 movie, "The World is Not Enough."
The Jet Black paint work is all original and the exterior of this
Z8 Roadster is complemented by staggered Z8-specific 18", Style 59,
split-spoke forged alloy wheels mounted to Michelin Pilot Sport A/S
tires (purchased June 2022), chrome driver/passenger side mirrors,
chrome door handles, discreet chrome trim outlining the twin front
grills, and a removable black hardtop.
The black interior features black Nappa Leather heated and
power-adjustable sports seats, sculpted aluminum knobs, classic
banjo-style steering wheel, remote security entry, a push-button
ignition, navigation system, a 10-speaker Harman Kardon sound
system with six-disc CD changer, and digital BMW mobile
flip-phone.
This BMW Z8 is equipped with a 4.9L S62 V8 engine featuring
double-VANOS variable valve timing, quad hollow camshafts, and
individual throttle bodies that produce up to 394 HP and 368 lb.-ft
of torque. The rear wheels are driven by way of a 6-speed manual
transmission with a limited-slip differential. The
mid/front-mounted engine contributes to an ideal 50/50 weight
distribution.
The sale of this 2002 BMW Z8 Roadster, located in California, will
include a clean title, clean Carfax, hardtop, recent service
records, original window sticker, tool kit, factory first aid kit,
and Motorola Flip Phone.
