2003 BMW Z8 – I feel like James Bond driving this car
A pretty rare car that I finally had the pleasure of acquiring. I bought this car for my collection and wanted a unique convertible to take out from time to time. I first saw the BMW Z8 in a James Bond film and have been hooked ever since. I owned a 2001 E39 M5 at the time, and when I found out that the same powertrain was going into a BMW convertible that’s constructed of an aluminum body, I thought that it was going to be a heck of a car. I have owned my Z8 for the better part of 12 years now and only use it 5 or so times a year. It’s not the most comfortable driving car and can take some time getting use too. The driving experience is up to par where a M car should be when driven spirited. The interior feels a little dated, with flimsy plastics and weird seatbelt design. Ove… (more)

Overall I wouldn’t go out of my way to purchase the Z8 unless you’re looking to add a little more pedigree to your vehicle collection.
Story
The first day I picked it up to bring it home, I couldn’t stop smiling/ looking in my garage back at it.

2018 BMW Z8 – Good vehicle.
Chances are good that you’re unfamiliar with the BMW Z8, or E52 as it’s known in BMW’s internal model code–at least in person. It was a rare and low-volume car, with just 2,543 examples built for U.S. consumption, and only 5,703 built in total. Born from the Z07 concept car, designed as an homage to the legendary BMW 507, the Z8 entered production in 1999 and ceased in 2003, though sales in the U.S. continued through 2006. The exterior design was executed by a man who would later start up his own extended-range electric vehicle company, the ill-fated Fisker, producer of the Karma. Priced above $125,000, the Z8 used an all-aluminum build for its structure, and hosted the Z62 4.9-liter V-8 engine under its hood. Good for 400 horsepower, the Z8 was a quick car, hitting 60 mph from a stop… (more)

Priced above $125,000, the Z8 used an all-aluminum build for its structure, and hosted the Z62 4.9-liter V-8 engine under its hood. Good for 400 horsepower, the Z8 was a quick car, hitting 60 mph from a stop in the low-to-mid four-second range. The Z8 was also very well balanced, clocking in with 50/50 front-rear weight distribution thanks to the V-8 engine’s mounting position behind the front axle, effectively making it a front-mid-engined car. The BMW Z8’s top speed was limited to 155 mph. On the transmission front, the Z8 was only offered in the U.S. with a six-speed manual transmission, though the limited-run Alpina version of the Z8 (only 450 units were built to U.S. spec) offered a five-speed automatic transmission. The Alpina Z8 also offered slightly reduced horsepower, but greater torque for easier low-speed cruising. 2003 BMW Z8 Alpina. One unusual feature for the Z8 was its use of neon tubes for some of the exterior lights, including the tail lights and turn indicators. BMW argued that the neon tubes were superior to conventional lights because of their durability (they were expected to last the life of the vehicle) and their quicker activation times. Though all BMW Z8s were roadsters, each car came with an included metal hardtop (with glass rear window), painted to match the Z8’s body. Aesthetically pleasing and eminently useful, the hardtop effectively transformed the Z8 into a coupe. Widely regarded as an instant classic, the BMW Z8 also impressed with its performance. The Z8’s aesthetic qualities also led it to be used in several movies and video games, including the James Bond film The World Is Not Enough, and video games like Forza Motorsport 4. Though the Z8 lived a short life in automotive terms, it remains a coveted item for Bimmer enthusiasts, and one of the iconic designs of the late 20th century–a fitting tribute to the 507 it was built to honor.

Pros
It is a cool looking car, very stylish but you will get bored were soon, kind of 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. Even though the $ is close.

Boyfriend and I spent last August in Norway. Our first stop was Trolltunga, 22km of walking through snow, mud, rain, wind and darkness. Two days later we hiked Pulpit Rock, almost half the distance, this second hike seemed like a breeze compared to the first one. We spent the rest of the time relaxing and exploring the beautiful county of Ryfylke – from a 10 Euro/day spa overlooking the lake, … (more)
Boyfriend and I spent last August in Norway. Our first stop was Trolltunga, 22km of walking through snow, mud, rain, wind and darkness. Two days later we hiked Pulpit Rock, almost half the distance, this second hike seemed like a breeze compared to the first one. We spent the rest of the time relaxing and exploring the beautiful county of Ryfylke – from a 10 Euro/day spa overlooking the lake, gazing at the incredible and numerous waterfalls, to aimlessly driving by the fjords. I have always been scared of heights. It had been less than a year since my foot surgery, accomplishing these hikes made me feel excited and liberated. On one of our drives along the fjords, we found ourselves alone on the road surrounded by endless beauty, I felt like this was my chance to do something else I’ve always wanted to do.
