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.

The Z8 is Not Enough

This car is awesome. It is truly a drivable work of art with performance that is almost scary. The Z8 is the best looking car on the road today and at 0-60 in about 4.5 seconds, a car that will blow away nearly everyone else off the road. And while this car is a dream to drive, it is not perfect. The radio/navigation system is too complex. There is a lot of plastic on and in the car (but it looks great). Sure, the speedo and tach are at the center of the dash....and it takes a little getting used to. But once you do, this quirk only adds to its uniqueness.
Captivating design

This is as pretty a car as one could ever hope to own. The exterior lines are great and the interior is beautiful. It is fun to drive and a pleasure to just look at. The fit is perfect for all body parts and both the soft and hard tops. If you are considering a Z8, be sure you get all the original accessories. You might also ask that the Performance Kit be installed. Reputable dealers would know the part and understand why you would want it. Update 08/2017: Still loving this car. Entered it in a car show in Carmel last week. Other cars included five Ferraris and several Porsches including a 911-50. Our Z8 won Best in Show. It was the most admired car on the street. Update 02/2018: No change in my admiration for this car. It seems to be ticking up in value too. Update 02/2019: Still a terrific car to own and drive.

Each time I get into my 2001 Z7 I smile. It is so much fun to drive and the clean simple interior is soothing on the eyes. Passerby having been taking pictures, waving, and giving thumbs up for 20 years. It is an ambassador of happiness and goodwill. I will never sell it.

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.

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.

Once I got rid of the run flat tires, the vehicle handling and ride went up about three notches. If you have a Z8, get ride of the run flats.

Just got the Z8 roadster 3 weeks ago, & simply love it! It can be driven like a pussycat (with an older passenger), or like a lion (when I'm alone)!

One of the first off the production line. A silver was firmly in my mind,however when I saw the hot red color on this baby with a black interior, I knew this was my car! No where can you drive without turning heads. From young coeds, males in hot rods to interested observers at the gas pump, it demands attention but does not require frequent stops. Sports car feel, vintage hints to design from the past mixed with the latest technology and mechanics, this car runs! Sit in the drives seat and feel engulfed in a peice of history and the future. Comfortable, with the brute power (almost 400hp) to get the adrenaline surging. Exotic sports car ownership with minimal maintenance. The Z-8!
awesome

This is a really superb automobile. It is very fast and has good handling at speeds around 100+ MPH. I am really excited about the Alipina. Although it will no longer be M powered it will still be very fast.
Good Car, Slightly Cheap Parts

I bought my Alpina in Feb, and it's a great car. Unfortunately, some of the parts are rather cheap. I can't tell you how many times I broke the cupholder. And the mirrors rattle and look like they're to fall off while driving down the highway. I recommend this car, but it can be beat. Try a Maserati Cambiocorsa Conv, or a Porsche 911 Turbo before purchasing this Z8.
Great

It is a cool looking car, very stylish but you will get bored were soon, kinda boring to drive. People look, but performance and fun factor is no big deal. I have a 2002 911 turbo which is the best sports car in the world, and this new one cannot even compare. Eventhough the $ is close.

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.
