About This Car
This 2001 BMW Z8 was purchased new by the seller’s father and now has 7k miles. It is finished in Jet Black over Sport Red and black Nappa leather and is powered by a 4.9-liter V8 paired with a six-speed manual transmission. Features comprise a color-matched removable hardtop, a black soft top, 19″ AC Schnitzer wheels, xenon headlights, heated power-adjustable sport seats, navigation, and an aftermarket sound system with a Diamond Audio Technology amplifier. This Z8 is now offered by the seller on behalf of their father with a hardtop stand, the removed factory wheels, tools, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Colorado title in the owner’s name.
The Z8 features bodywork designed by Henrik Fisker with inspiration from the BMW 507 roadster, and the aluminum body panels are mounted over an aluminum spaceframe. This example is finished in Jet Black and features a color-matched removable hardtop and a black soft top as well as xenon headlights with washers, front fender air extractors with BMW roundels, polished mirror caps, dual exhaust outlets, and neon taillights and turn indicators. Clear paint protection film covers various body panels.
Bright-finished 19″ AC Schnitzer multi-piece wheels are mounted with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires measuring 245/40 up front and 275/35 out back. The four-wheel disc brake system is equipped with Dynamic Brake Control (DBC), and additional features include Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) and All-Season Traction (ASC).
The cabin features Sport Red and black Nappa leather upholstery that extends from the heated power-adjustable seats to the dashboard, center console, and door panels. Amenities include a six-disc CD changer, navigation, leather-wrapped roll hoops, cruise control, a wind deflector, and an aftermarket sound system with a Diamond Audio Technology amplifier. A radar detector is said to be installed and the glovebox door was adjusted in 2023.
The banjo-spoke steering wheel features silver trim within a leather-wrapped rim. Centrally mounted instrumentation includes a 155-mph speedometer, an 8k-rpm tachometer with an integrated analog clock, and gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level. The digital odometer indicates 7k miles, all of which were added under current ownership.
The 4.9-liter S62 V8 was shared with the contemporary E39 M5 and features double-VANOS variable valve timing for a factory-rated output of 394 horsepower and 368 lb-ft torque. June 2023 service is said to have included replacing a fuel pump and changing various fluids.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transmission.
The removed factory wheels, a hardtop stand, tools, and a BMW-branded cell phone are included in the sale.
The Carfax report shows no accidents or other damage and lists registration history in Colorado.
