The question has often been asked: is the BMW Z8 the sexiest roadster BMW ever made, if not the most sought-after BMW ever? A legend with BMW circles, the Z8 was designed under the code name "E52" in an attempt to commemorate and evoke the distinctive style of the BMW 507 that was produced from 1956 to 1959. Henrik Fisker, the proficient automotive designer behind the aesthetics of multiple Aston Martins, the electric Fiskers, and the Mustang Rocket, is responsible for the stunning exterior design of the BMW Z8 Roadster. Being one of the rarest BMWs ever made, it's naturally a highly desirable car. This 2001 BMW Z8 Roadster is currently located in Florida. It displays 31,622 miles on the odometer and has been recently serviced at 31,300 miles. Included in the sale is the manufacturer's detailed and illustrated coffee table book with leather sample bounding. Also available is the VIN tag, original window sticker, letters of origin to the original owner from BMW North America, and an original CDMA mobile phone.
Exterior and Interior
The 2001 BMW Z8 Roadster is in a league of its own, having been inspired by the graceful design of the renowned BMW 507. It features an all-aluminum monocoque spaceframe with neon exterior lighting and silver side vents with the classic BMW emblem. The exterior of our subject 2001 BMW Z8 is painted in "Jet Black" and includes both a soft and hard top to match the body color. A hardtop stand, hardtop bag, roof key, and an original Z8 vehicle cover are all included in the sale. The interior of this BMW Z8 is a tasteful mix of Crema and Black soft leather, with silver accents to enhance the look. Entertainment is provided by a six-disc CD Changer and a Harmon Kardon sound system with ten speakers. The car also comes with two keys, both with remotes and one valet key.
Engine
The similarities of the Z8 to the classic 507 lies in the engine and the drivetrain as well. This 2001 BMW Z8 Roadster gets its power from a 4.9L V8 engine that outputs 395 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. This engine is placed behind the front axle resulting in a 50/50 weight distribution that translates into better handling. It is also fitted with a 6-speed manual transmission that feeds power to the rear wheels — the perfect combination for any BMW enthusiast.
The BMW Z8 Roadster is notorious for being showcased as James Bond’s car in the film, “The World Is Not Enough”. While you may not get this 2001 model equipped with surface-to-air missiles to defend yourself from a cutting saw-equipped helicopter, these exotic icons are exactly what we strive to provide you here at Exotic Car Trader. Every element of this car was assembled by hand in Munich thanks to its limited production; only 2,543 models were made to hit the North American market, boasting the same 4.9-liter V8 engine that was shared with the legendary E39 M5. The unique styling is, of course, the main highlight of this 2001 BMW Z8, a retro tribute to the classic 507 — a car that is considered by many to be the prettiest ever made. The Z8 also saw itself as the official safety car in the 2001 season of MotoGP, making it a prominent vehicle during the early '00s and late '90s. This 2001 BMW Z8 Roadster, with a spectacular wheel upgrade, has traversed American roads for around 49,200 miles and is now waiting for you to be its new owner.
BMW's Z Series, akin to the illustrious 7 Series, has carved its own legend in the automotive realm. Tracing its spiritual lineage to the iconic BMW 507, a grand touring convertible, the Z Series made a significant mark with the BMW Z1 from 1989 to 1991. This unique offering, both in design and technology, paved the way for the subsequent Z3 and the concurrently produced Z8, a beloved creation from 1998 to 2003. Now, we beckon your attention to a pristine 2001 BMW Z8, a limited-production gem boasting a mere 18,300 miles on its distinguished odometer.
1999 saw “The World Is Not Enough” hit the silver screens, with Pierce Brosnan’s sharp looks at James Bond doing the whole ‘save the world from destruction’ thing. Bond film car aficianados will have no doubt noticed the sleek silver roadster that Bond drives in the film, before it is dramatically cut in half by a helicopter-mounted set of circular saws. That car is BMW’s Z8 which was introduced to the public in 2000, and produced for just three years. The Z8 also saw some screen time in the Jackie Chan flick ‘The Tuxedo’. If the Z8 caught your eye in either of these films, here’s a lovely 2003 BMW Z8 Roadster from Florida for sale, with just 48,000 miles on the clock. Only 5,703 Z8s were produced, with 2,543 sold in North America so you’re joining an exclusive club.
The E39-generation BMW M5 is widely regarded as one of the greatest sport sedans ever built, striking an extraordinary balance between everyday comfort and genuine high-performance capability. Introduced as the flagship of the 5 Series lineup, it paired understated styling with a naturally aspirated V8 and a proper 6-speed manual transmission, creating a formula that enthusiasts continue to praise more than two decades later. Showing 99,352 miles, this 2002 example is finished in Titanium Silver Metallic over Extended Nappa Point Silverstone leather and is equipped with desirable factory options including Park Distance Control, a power rear sunshade, split-folding rear seats, and the Enhanced Premium Sound System. As one of the last hand-assembled M cars to feature a naturally aspirated V8 and manual gearbox, the E39 M5 remains a benchmark for performance sedans.
Few vehicles embody the spirit of late-1990s BMW performance quite like the Z3 M Roadster. Developed by BMW M to bring genuine sports car dynamics to the compact Z3 platform, the M Roadster combined classic rear-wheel-drive handling with the legendary S52 inline-six engine and a standard manual transmission. This 1998 BMW Z3 M Roadster shows approximately 35,878 miles and stands out thanks to its desirable Dinan performance upgrades, including a high-flow cold air intake, high-flow throttle body, engine software tune, and front strut tower brace. Finished in Cosmos Black Metallic over a Black interior, this low-mileage example offers a compelling blend of open-top driving enjoyment, analog BMW M performance, and period-correct Dinan enhancements from one of BMW’s most respected aftermarket tuning specialists.
This 2015 BMW i8 Coupe was one of the most futuristic production cars of its era, blending exotic supercar styling with groundbreaking hybrid technology and lightweight carbon fiber engineering. Showing just 6,195 miles, this example remains exceptionally preserved and showcases the bold innovation BMW introduced with its revolutionary i performance lineup. Finished in Sophisto Grey Metallic with BMW i Frozen Blue accents over a Giga Amido full perforated leather interior, the i8 still looks strikingly modern even a decade after its debut. Combining dramatic scissor doors, a carbon fiber passenger cell, and a turbocharged hybrid powertrain, the i8 delivered a vision of what performance cars could become while maintaining everyday usability and impressive efficiency. Low-mileage examples such as this continue to stand out as highly collectible modern BMW halo cars.
