2000 BMW Z8

The BMW Z8 remains one of the most iconic and collectible modern BMWs ever produced, combining timeless retro-inspired design with the engineering and performance of a true modern sports car. Penned by Henrik Fisker and inspired by the legendary BMW 507, the Z8 was conceived as a halo model for the new millennium, blending handcrafted construction, motorsport-derived engineering and understated elegance in a way few cars have since replicated.

Powered by BMW Motorsport’s revered 4.9-litre naturally aspirated V8, shared with the E39 M5 and producing 400hp, the Z8 is paired with a six-speed manual gearbox. Delivering effortless performance, exceptional balance and a soundtrack befitting its pedigree, the Z8 offers a uniquely analogue driving experience that has become increasingly sought after amongst collectors and enthusiasts alike. Constructed around an aluminium space frame chassis and produced in strictly limited numbers, the Z8 has firmly established itself as one of BMW’s greatest modern classics, equally admired for its rarity, design significance and investment appeal.

The Z8’s desirability was further enhanced when it was chosen as James Bond’s mode of transport in 'The World Is Not Enough'.

This particular car is a rare UK-supplied example, that was delivered new on 18th July 2000 by Fawdington BMW to a Mr J. Horsefield of Gosforth, Newcastle. It was specified in Titan Silver with Sport Red and Black Nappa leather trim and complemented by its body-coloured hardtop.

Presented in excellent condition throughout, complete with its original leather handbook pouch including the service and maintenance supplement, original spare key in its leather pouch, tools, battery conditioner, BMW first aid kit, warning triangle, hardtop stand and a dedicated history file that contains its original vehicle sales invoice and correspondence, MOTs dating back to July 2003, historical tax discs and its original Certificate of Conformity.

This BMW also benefits from a recent major service carried out by an official BMW service centre, along with the fitment of four new tyres.
