The BMW Z8 emerged from the celebrated Z07 Concept of 1997,
representing Henrik
Fisker's masterful reinterpretation of BMW's iconic 507. This
spiritual
successor manifested as a svelte, two-seat gentleman's roadster,
featuring
purposeful lines crafted in hand-finished aluminum coachwork,
underpinned by a
sophisticated spaceframe chassis. The powertrain showcased BMW
Motorsport's
"S62" DOHC 32-valve 4.9-liter V8 engine rated at 394 horsepower and
370 lb-ft of
torque, enabling zero to 60 mph acceleration in 4.7 seconds through
an engaging
Getrag six-speed manual transmission. With less than half of
worldwide
production slated for the United States, the Z8's exclusivity has
made it a
highly sought-after grand tourer and a modern collectible in its
own right.
Manufactured in May 2001 and finished in the luminous and intense
Topaz Blue
with soft leather Crema upholstery, this example was delivered new
in New York
and registered by its original owner in Maryland. According to its
clean CARFAX,
the Z8 changed hands with fewer than 9,000 miles in 2004 followed
by new owners
in 2009 (Maine) with 16,000 miles and 2021 (Texas) with 27,000
miles at the
time.
Offered today with only 28,345 miles at the time of cataloging,
this BMW Z8
retains its original window sticker and is accompanied by a
comprehensive file
of service records and invoices, reflecting regular inspections,
maintenance,
and care. In 2021, over $21,000 was invested through Classic BMW of
Plano,
Texas, for thorough servicing and detailing. An additional $11,000
was dedicated
to professional paint correction and the installation of full-body
paint
protection film, followed by noteworthy mechanical and cosmetic
upkeep. The car
is also upgraded with the desirable BMW Z8 Performance Package,
which includes
the front strut tower brace, enhancing driving dynamics and chassis
rigidity.
Additionally, this BMW Z8 is offered with its factory hardtop and
stand and is
further accompanied by its tool kit, Z8 key pouches, Motorola
phone, first aid
kit, BMW audiophile demo disc and navigation CD, foldable Crema
boot cover and
wind deflector in their bags, tailored car cover, and more.
Included as well are
its serialized factory books, VIN-matched coffee table book, and
most new
original equipment BMW parts.
Presented in exceptional original condition and one of only 138
finished in the
rare and desirable combination of Topaz Blue over Crema, this
low-mileage BMW Z8
has been meticulously maintained with a well-documented service
history.
Accompanied by numerous accessories and additional equipment, it
offers a rare
opportunity to acquire a true piece of German grand touring
excellence.
