2002 BMW Z8 Review
Fuel Economy
15 mpg
Summary
What Edmunds.com says
If you love fine, rare things, the Z8 is the automotive equivalent of a Gutenberg bible.
Pros
Powerful engine, super-sexy styling, limited production will ensure exclusivity.
Cons
Cumbersome on tight roads, Porsche 911 Turbo is faster and cheaper, a plastic rear window.
What's New for 2002
Last year, BMW created an all-new sports car with philosophical and styling elements gleaned from its original 1955 507 roadster. No changes are in store for this year.

2002 BMW Z8 2dr Roadster (4.9L 8cyl 6M)
Review
I've owned over 50 cars in my life, including some top flight iron. None has ever been the true combination of quality, style, power and fun-to-drive that the Z8 has been. I remember why I bought the car every time I take it out. Absolutely wonderful ride! I get thumbs up, stares and comments whenever I take her out. Great fit and finish, no mechanical problems and my BMW tech's have been wonderful to deal with. The best service anywhere! Gas mileage is OK, essentially 20mpg on the highway and mid-teens around town. I really love this car, but know someday I'll get the bug for something else and then may have to sell/trade the car. They are becoming harder and harder to find.
Favorite Features
Combination of power, handling, road feel and sporty comfort. Fit and finish. Retro-modern styling. Quality materials. Ease of use. All the looks and comments!
Suggested Improvements
Kinda' late now, but... glass rear window. Either improve nav or get rid of it. Exchange run-flats for improved sport rubber. Needs 12V socket near dash for radar.
great car
