Inspired by BMW’s achingly beautiful 507, the Z8 was masterfully penned by Henrik Fisker and perfectly melded classic looks with modern performance. Under the bonnet was the E39 M5’s 4.9-litre V-8 mated to a proper six-speed gearbox and producing 400 bhp.
This particular Z8 is finished in the popular colour combination of Titanium Silver over a two-tone Sport Red and Black leather interior. The car was sold new in August of 2000 to its first owner, Oliver Lange of Lugano, Switzerland. Lange owned the car until February of 2001, at which time it had travelled just 2,155 km and was purchased by its second owner, with whom the car has remained ever since.
With the current owner, the car has recently had its nose and bonnet repainted by Loris Kessel in Lugano to rectify stone chips, and the VANOS control unit was repaired in November of 2014 by Rolando Agustoni SA, the authorized BMW dealership in Balerna, Switzerland. Importantly, the car is accompanied by its original hardtop and stand, car cover, as well as some previous service invoices.
Beautifully designed, the Z8 is perhaps the perfect modern convertible for a two-person weekend trip, providing excellent performance, sublime comfort, and practicality. This attractive example surely will not disappoint. https://flic.kr/p/2jwkncQ
