This is a fabulous car: exciting to drive, fels great.
Just don't 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.

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 - it's 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.

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 I'll 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.

This is a most awesome machine, finely
tuned, the penultimate BMW
achievement. Comfortable interior
belies the power under the hood. Don't
make the mistake of pushing
the "sport" button unless you're
prepared for the extraordinary surge
in power and control "freedom" that
ensues. Don't get this vehicle (if you
can find one) unless you don't mind
constant attention and admiring looks
from bystanders and other drivers.

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.

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. I've
found myself in the garage sitting on
the workbench just staring at the car.
I couldn't begin to list all the
comments I've received on the car.
Then there is the driving experience,
but frankly, that is to be expected -
it is the BMW flagship.
