About this car

The Z8 was BMW's retro-styled homage to the 507, and it is now one of the more established modern collectables. Under the long bonnet sits the 4.9-litre V8 from the E39 M5, paired with a six-speed manual gearbox and rear-wheel drive. The aluminium spaceframe construction and near 50/50 weight distribution set it apart from most roadsters of its era.

This 2001 car has covered 30,100 miles and has had three keepers. It is finished in Titanium Silver with black leather, and comes with the factory hard top, satellite navigation, a ten-speaker stereo, xenon headlights, anthracite headlining, air conditioning and the period Motorola flip phone. The page lists service history as unconfirmed.
