A sweet year
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.
Z8 ROCKS
THE Z8 ROCKS!!! IT IS A BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL, FAST, AMAZING VEHICLE. TOO BAD THERE IS NO SECOND GENERATION VERSION

Exotic but sane
After 6,000 miles the Z8 still amazes me. While its more GT than racer, its cornering and acceleration are fantastic. While it feels big to drive, it autocrossed wonderfully. The big stress is always where to park it so it won't get dinged by some Bozo. My 20 something childrens' friends, (and almost everyone else), begs for rides. Anonymous, its not.
not too flashy!! just performance.
so much power, but the ride feel like feather, just imagine a motorcycle with four wheels !! it is a clasic, from any angle the finishing touches make it so unique, can't go wrong with this car!!
Z8 is hands down the best roadster ever!
This car peforms like a Ferrari.....but feels like a true German sports car.....I have driven Ferraris, Porsche, Lamborghinis, and I have never recieved more stares, and compliments.........I would only recomend this car if you can use it as a secondary car...........I also have a BMW X5....
Hottest car ever built
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.

Z Acht
Benchmark combination of performance and styling, with BMW reliability.
Dream Car
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.
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.
Driver Heaven
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.
impossible to give up
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.

An excellent engine and a really fun to drive car
Z8 Review
Car is fabulous. I have had Ferraris, Porches, Vipers, Shelby. This is the best.
a magnificent vehicle
This car is not just a vehicle, but a extreme thrill riding machine. The performance on the bmw z8 is terrific, swerving around corners, and providing your body with an amazing adrenaline rush every time you slide into this piece of art.
Not To Fast
Fun, but gets very boring, not very fast compared to my 550, original in style though, thats what attracted me to buy it.
great car
the z8 is a prefact car!!!!!!!!!! it beats anyother car in the world in other words its the best car in the world
WonderCar
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.
They don't make them like this anymore
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.
Z8 dream
The BMW Z8 is a beautifully proportioned, exceptionally well engineered hand built car. Introduced in 2000 at about $130,000 it has increased in value roughly equivalent to inflation. An excellent low mileage (under 15000 miles) car can be bought in the $180000 range. The blue, black and red versions seem to command a higher price than the much more common silver car. Similarly, the cream interiors and the red/black interiors are more rare and command a higher price. The car itself is a real pleasure to look at as well as to drive. It is fast and it is comfortable. I looked at Lamborghinis too and they are awful to drive (older versions in the same price range as the Z8). Newer Lambos are a great ride. But the Z8 should continue to appreciate in value even though they seem plentiful in the used car market. The lowest price I have seen is $139000 for a car with 54000 miles. BMW sold these as collectable cars so most are maintained in excellent condition. It isn't likely that many have been wrecked. The Z8 is a unique car that commands attention when you drive it. Beautiful finishing and fun make it a practical investment. Update 2/18. I like the car more and more every day. It is a piece of art and a mechanical joy. Update 8/18. Most enjoyable car I have ever owned. Z8 continues to be a terrific investment. Prices for low mileage cars seem to continue to rise. But I am not selling so that doesn't matter to me. Just indicates the popularity of the unique design and features of the car. It is particularly fun to take to the Concours in Pebble Beach and to drive along 17 Mile Drive.
