A really nice BMW Z8 in red. I guess you could consider this car reasonably rare since a little over 1000 were made. The owner apparently also has a F430 coupe, a F430 Spider, SLR McLaren, and a few other luxury but not neccessarily exotic vehicles. I've seen the F430's, but have no idea where the SLR is. Just finishing up Korea, almost switching to Houston and HD videos.

BMW Z8 with Alpina rims @ City Centre Düsseldorf [Autogespot - Carspotting] The BMW Z8 was a roadster car produced by German automaker BMW from 2000-2003. It was given the E52 BMW model code. The Z8 was the production variant of the 1997 Z07 concept car, which was designed by Henrik Fisker at BMW's DesignworksUSA in Southern California. The Z07 originally was designed as a styling exercise intended to evoke and celebrate the 1956-'59 BMW 507. The Z07 caused a sensation at the '97 Tokyo Auto Show. The overwhelming popularity of the concept spurred BMW's decision to produce a limited production model called the Z8. There were 5703 Z8s built, approximately half of which were exported to the US[1] From concept to production The original Z07 had been designed with production in mind. As a result, practical and regulatory considerations necessitated very few changes for the production model. Nevertheless, the windshield of the Z8 was extended upward, and a larger front airdam was fitted. Both changes were implemented to provide aerodynamic stability and a reasonably placid cockpit environment. The four-spoke steering wheel of the concept car was replaced by a three spoke design. The hardtop was changed from a double-bubble form with a tapering faring to a single dome with a truncated convex backside. The concept's exotic driver's side helmet fairing was eliminated to allow easy operation of the power soft top. Despite these changes, the Z8 remained extremely faithful to the <b>...</b>

Top speed run on the Autobahn in Munich, Germany. Unfortunately, it was during rush hour so the run was relatively short but it was a whole lot of fun. Needless to say, I had a wide grin on my face.

One of the best looking cars to ever roll out of Germany. The BMW Z8. Made famous from the James Bond film 'The World Is Not Enough' the Z8 is a hand-made roadster muscle car with a 5.0 V8 engine from the E39 M5 which produces 400bhp. The interior is very bespoke and different as its dials are centralised in the console instead of being placed behind the steering wheel. Sitting inside the Z8 it reminded me of the classic AC Cobra as it has those small doors and spoked steering wheel. Also it has a similar layout as a small roadster with a big muscle V8 up front. Filmed at Dick Lovett Ferrari near Swindon.

1999 BMW Z8 Roadster promotional video
1999 BMW Z8 Roadster promotional video.
Bmw Z8 Showcase
Introduced at the 1999 Frankfurt Auto Show, the BMW Z8 sports car was the company's conception of what its famous 507 roadster would have been if built past the 1950s. Stylistically, it offered many of the same cues, such as a long, sloping hood with round headlight blisters, twin-kidney grille, distinctive vents aft of the front wheels and a striking leather interior with a simplistic layout. Not all was retro, though. The Z8's aluminum space frame was draped with aluminum body panels, and hidden from view was BMW's typical front strut/rear multilink suspension arrangement. For power, the Z8 relied on the same engine used for the third-generation M5 sedan. The BMW Z8 was always intended to be a "halo" car, designed to draw attention to BMW and lead to increased sales of other BMW vehicles. BMW produced it for just four years with an annual production rate of about 1500 cars. Naturally, Z8 ownership is an exclusive club. Given that the 507 is coveted by collectors and a good one can fetch more than half a million dollars, a similar future might be in store for the Z8.

The BMW Z8 was a roadster car produced by German automaker BMW from 2000-2003. It was given the E52 BMW model code.
The Z8 was the production variant of the 1997 Z07 concept car, which was designed by Henrik Fisker at BMW's DesignworksUSA in Southern California. The Z07 originally was designed as a styling exercise intended to evoke and celebrate the 1956-'59 BMW 507. The Z07 caused a sensation at the '97 Tokyo Auto Show. The overwhelming popularity of the concept spurred BMW's decision to produce a limited production model called the Z8. There were 5,703 Z8s built, approximately half of which were exported to the U.S.
From concept to production
The original Z07 had been designed with production in mind. As a result, practical and regulatory considerations necessitated very few changes for the production model. Nevertheless, the windshield of the Z8 was extended upward, and a larger front airdam was fitted. Both changes were implemented to provide aerodynamic stability and a reasonably placid cockpit environment. The four-spoke steering wheel of the concept car was replaced by a three spoke design. The hardtop was changed from a double-bubble form with a tapering faring to a single dome with a truncated convex backside. The concept's exotic driver's side helmet fairing was eliminated to allow easy operation of the power soft top.Despite these changes, the Z8 remained extremely faithful to the concept car. The side-mounted turn indicators were integrated into the side vents in a fashion that rendered them invisible until activated. The vintage simplicity of the interior was preserved by hiding the modern equipment under retracting panels. Complex compound curves were preserved through the use of an expensive MIG-welded aluminum space frame. The Z8 even retained the concept's five-spoke wheel design, albeit without the race-style center lug nut.There is a new edition z8 is launched by BMW.
Features
The $128,000 car had an all aluminum chassis and body and used a 4.9 L (4941 cc) 32-valve V8, that developed and torque. This engine, known internally as the S62, was built by the BMW Motorsport subsidiary and was shared with the E39 M5. | 317 |- | 2001 | 970 |- | 2002 | 524 |- | 2003 | 439 |- | 2004 | 110 |- | 2005 | 17 |- | 2006 | 5 |}
