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'.
