2001 BMW Z8
Overview
This 2001 BMW Z8 defines the manufacturer’s leading early-millennium design. Styled under the direction of Henrik Fisker and powered by BMW M’s legendary S62 V8, the Z8 was conceived as a no-compromise roadster—hand-assembled, limited in production, and engineered to deliver a purist driving experience.
Finished in Titanium Silver Metallic over Black Nappa leather, this example presents in quintessential specification. Polished mirror caps, door handles, and side trim complement sculptural contours, capped off by both a black convertible top and included body-color removable hardtop. Inside, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and abundant model-specific faire create a refined, driver-focused environment.
Up front, 4.9-liter V8 power mated to a 6-speed manual transmission and 3.15 limited-slip differential sends power to the rear wheels. Further equipment includes 18” alloy wheels, dual exhaust, and Xenon headlights. Two-stage heated seats, Harman Kardon AM/FM/CD audio, and air conditioning lend grand-touring comfort. Showing just 13,844 miles and accompanied by a clean Carfax report, this Z8 arrives fresh from collector ownership with diligent annual service reported.
