BMW Z8

The BMW Z8 got its heart from the E39 M5: the same 4.9 litre V8, the same six-speed Getrag manual gearbox. What the Z8 did not get was the M5's limited-slip differential, a deliberate choice by BMW to keep the character looser. The chassis is a fully aluminium space frame, something no other BMW of that period had, with a weight distribution of exactly 50:50. James Bond drove one in The World is Not Enough in 1999, before the production car had even reached the market.

This example stayed within a select number of hands throughout its life: a Dutch first owner from 2003, followed by two German owners, the current one having owned the car since 2009. The paintwork is original. The complete service history is documented, from the running-in check at 2,813 km at BMW Bert Story in Waardenburg to recent maintenance at BMW Louyet EuMa in Malmedy. The car comes with the full accessory pack: the hardtop with trolley and cover, the original Motorola/BMW car phone, a wind deflector, the large Z8 photo book and a 1:18 scale model.

Fun fact: BMW built the Z8 exclusively as a left-hand-drive roadster. A coupé version was never approved for production, despite a concept version having existed.
