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.
