Any opinions on the BMW Z8? I have seen a few in person and they sure are beautiful cars. Would any owners mind posting any pictures they may have? Or favorite pics.?

Thanks

 

Z8 is a cool car. Distinct looking but was not worth sticker price IMO as it was double the M5 which shared the same engine. Seems to be priced properly now.

Haven't had the chance to drive one but would like to

 

One of my favorite Roadster, its a Modern Classic.

Many pics and great info

http://www.bmwz8.us/htmlL/gallery.php?GalleryID=4 with this one, one of my favorite since it is my car.

 

The Z8 is the best BMW!

Here is not a beautiful shot but with the best looking wheels!

didn't these cars have some sort of issue with the chasis or something like that??? mushrooming??

 

not a fan of these cars - interior is too retro and those M6 wheels are one of the uglier ones out of the bmw lineup

 

Yes, I believe the aluminum frame warped on some cars.


Beautiful cars, and their gearboxes are fantastic! Very nice, but for much less, I'd take a Turbo.

 

I saw it once...looked very unique and different from the other cars I saw before, but if I had to choose a car in that range...the Weissmann is the first!

 

Love the Z8. One of my favorite cars! They drive great too.

 

BMW-wise i have driven the 400hp M5, and a 240hp M-roadster and when i think of the two combined it seems like this car would provide quite the experience with the top down.

Z8cw, the car looks great, thoughts on the z8?

 

You have to like the looks. There is nothing else in this style providing the same performance and comfort. Stock it is a GT car and with the top down a real roadster that lets you feel the wind and road. Surprinsingly enough, it can actually hold its own on the track but it wasn't made for it. Some mods where necessary in my mind like suspension, wheels, tires, headers and exhaust. She is a keeper.

I love the car, out of curiousity how many did they acctually make because they seem pretty rare at least in the northeast.

 

Timeless design and most likely a classic as long as it's treated as one:

Yeah, BMW offered a fix for the shock tower issue.

They made close to 5000 of them but you right you don't see many around.
