Design Icon - 2002 BMW Z8

New Inventory - 2002 BMW Z8

Had a client in the showroom yesterday dropping a car off, and while we are standing in the middle of all the cars visiting, he says - "wait, what BMW is that back there?" He makes a beeline for the car, and comments that you just never see them in person very often. We continued to discuss all the amazing design elements of the car, the driving experience, and the rarity pecking order of color combos.

The experience I had yesterday was not the first time I have watched this unfold - I've been fortunate to have two Z8s come through this year, and with each example people are drawn to them like a moth to flame. There is just something about them in person that translates well into automotive desires.

As a premier sport luxury brand, BMW called upon their heritage and top-level engineering in 1997 when they debuted the stunning Z07 styling study. Penned by design icon Henrik Fisker (later head of design at Aston Martin and eventually creating his own bespoke brand), the design team evoked the incomparable BMW 507, as a concept car for the new millennium. Customer reaction was so positive that BMW announced they would build a limited production vehicle based on the design.

Mechanically, the Z8 chassis utilized modern aluminum stampings, with many lightweight castings and formed aluminum components including independent suspension. For power, the M5 series 4.9 liter quad-cam V8 engine was tuned to 400hp, and mounted well behind the front axle for optimal weight distribution allowing it to achieve .92g of lateral acceleration, with 4.2 second 0-60 times.

This beautifully maintained Z8 has been under the care of two thoughtful enthusiast owners since delivered new. Both owners refrained accumulating significant miles on the car to preserve the quality and condition of the car. Having accrued just 18,000 miles, the first owner owned the car for approximately 13 years, putting just over 1,000 miles per year on the car, until it was purchased by the second owner in 2015. That owner added another 3k miles over the next six years. With just 291 Z8s produced in Red, this car is 1 of only 62 produced in Red over a Crema interior, makes this a rare, highly optioned Z8.

Warm Regards,
