Overview & Reviews

BMW has created an all-new sports car with philosophical and styling elements gleaned from its original 1955 507 roadster.

• Powerful engine, super-sexy styling, limited production will ensure exclusivity.

• Cumbersome on tight roads, Porsche 911 Turbo is faster and cheaper, a plastic rear window.

  They dont make them like this anymore - 2001 BMW Z8
  By twosmalltowns - February 29 - 1:08 pm

  This is a fabulous car: exciting to drive, fels great. Just dont expect to get out of the gas station too quickly - people are always coming over to stare and chat. I have had people wave me down on the street to stop so they could photograph it. Awesome car.

  Hottest car ever built - 2001 BMW Z8
  By boatracer81 - October 12 - 12:21 am

  This is the hottest car on the road. I traded my porsche turbo for the Z8 and it is far superior. The car will smoke the tires off in 1st gear. It handles like a dream and everywhere I go people love it. The stereo is the best stock stereo I ever heard. It is very clean and clear at all volumes. It has an electric top which is great and a removable hard top. The V8 engine puts out just under 400hp and it feels like more. I recommend this car to any car guy as this is the ultimate sports car for the money. The real deal is behind the wheel - its like a cross between the old Jaguar XKE V-12 and a Shelby roadster, only this is better. All I can say if you can find one, buy it.

  BMW Z8 - 2001 BMW Z8

  The retro design is fantastic- The interior leathers are soft and always have that new car smell. The navigation map is small therefore the direction are only arrows and voice, this is ok but I happen to like a map on my nav. system The dashboard is also retro and great looking. The power is awesome for a 4.9L .The sound of the exhaust is low and second to none.

  I think Ill keep this car forever! I am planning on getting a Vanquish and every time I drive it to the dealer for the trade-in, I turn around.

  Driver Heaven - 2001 BMW Z8
  By joneshume - January 18 - 2:00 am

  This is a most awesome machine, finely tuned, the penultimate BMW achievement. Comfortable interior belies the power under the hood. Dont make the mistake of pushing the "sport" button unless youre prepared for the extraordinary surge in power and control "freedom" that ensues. Dont get this vehicle (if you can find one) unless you dont mind constant attention and admiring looks from bystanders and other drivers.

  Dream Car - 2001 BMW Z8
  By Hamer - July 29 - 2:00 am

  Recently purchased a used 2001 Z8 with less than 300 miles of actual driven miles. I now am looking for a longer route to and from work to be able to enjoy more driving time.

  A sweet year - 2001 BMW Z8
  By BMW-TER - June 17 - 2:00 am

  Can it be a whole year has past since I traded my much loved M3 for the Z8? I still miss the M3 - it was greatly loved, but what a replacement. Ive found myself in the garage sitting on the workbench just staring at the car. I couldnt begin to list all the comments Ive received on the car. Then there is the driving experience, but frankly, that is to be expected - it is the BMW flagship.
