Manufactured from 1999 to 2003, the E52 Z8 featured a sleek, retro-styled body inspired by the iconic BMW 507 Roadster. Underpinned by an advanced aluminum space-frame structure, the Z8 was powered by a potent 4.9-liter V-8 engine and six-speed manual transmission borrowed from the contemporary M5 sedan. Developing 394 hp and 369 lbs./ft. of torque, the Z8 was capable of 0–60 mph in about 4.7 seconds and a 155 mph top speed.

This 2001 Z8 is finished in Titanium Silver Metallic over a Red and Black leather interior with a Black soft top and a matching hardtop. Standard equipment included air-conditioning, 18” alloy wheels, heated power seats, a radio with a six-disc CD changer, and navigation system.

Delivered new in the US in September 2001, this car was imported to the UK in September 2014 and it was subsequently road registered. During the process, this car was fitted with the desirable BMW Performance Package that stiffens the strut towers and protects the chassis from damage.

Showing under 7,400 miles at the time of cataloguing, this Z8 has been routinely maintained at authorized BMW service centers. Offered with its books, tools, hardtop, accessories, serialized coffee-table book, 1/18-scale model, and documentation, this Z8 Roadster is a prime example of one of BMW’s most compelling modern designs.
