This 2001 BMW Z8 is a stunning example of BMW’s modern classic roadster, powered by the legendary 4.9-liter S62 V8, paired with a six-speed manual transmission, and finished in Jet Black over black Nappa leather. With just 25k miles, this Z8 is offered at no reserve, complete with its factory hardtop, stand, tool roll, literature, and detailed service records.

Inspired by the iconic 507 and designed by Henrik Fisker, the Z8 features an aluminum spaceframe with aluminum body panels. It comes equipped with xenon headlights, 18” split-spoke wheels with brand-new Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4S tires (installed April 2024), front fender air extractors, dual exhaust outlets, and distinctive neon taillights. A few minor cosmetic imperfections are noted, including delamination at the top of the windshield and soft top trim lifting.

Inside, the cabin is upholstered in supple black Nappa leather, extending across the dash, center console, and door panels. Amenities include heated power-adjustable sport seats, a Harman Kardon sound system, six-disc CD changer, air conditioning, and cruise control. A banjo-spoke steering wheel fronts the centrally mounted gauges, with a 155-mph speedometer and 8k-rpm tachometer. The odometer shows approximately 25k miles, 700 of which were added under current ownership.

The 4.9L V8, shared with the E39 M5, delivers 394 horsepower and 368 lb-ft of torque with double-VANOS variable valve timing. Notable maintenance includes oil pan and valve cover gasket replacements (2021), a fresh oil change and air filter (2023), and a new battery under current ownership. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a smooth-shifting six-speed manual transmission.

The sale includes the body-color removable hardtop, hardtop stand, wind deflector, tool roll, manufacturer’s literature, and a clean Carfax report. This well-maintained, low-mileage Z8 presents a rare opportunity to own one of BMW’s most iconic modern collectibles, blending performance, timeless styling, and open-air driving in a way few cars ever have.
