2001 BMW Z8 Roadster - World Class Beauty | NO RESERVE

Seriously, ook at it. With the top down, he Z8 is easily one of the most gorgeous looking vehicles ever made.

(And Hey, t was good enough for JAMES BOND!)

So here we are (my wife and I), couple days before Christmas, riving on the 101 Southbound right around Universal Studios. I look in my rearview and notice this dude behind me in an E55 AMG who was aggressively changing lanes behind me.

Anyway, e're in traffic and eventually he catches up. He pulls up next to us, eeps looking over and keeps trying to get our attention.

So, e rolls down his window, nd he's illegally on his cell phone with his accountant or something, hen he starts yelling at us that he'll give us $150,000 for the car right then and there. Fortunately we were still in traffic, ut wow.

So yeah, hat was an interesting moment.

What I do know is this:

James Bond drives one in 1999's "The World is Not Enough"

There were only 5703 ever made, nd of those, nly 2543 were produced for America.

This car has the 4.9L "S62" engine from the same era's (E39) M5. It's good for about 400 horsepower and 370 ft-lb. of torque.

0-60 Time was claimed at 4.7 seconds by BMW itself. Car & Driver successfully achieved a 0-60 time of 4.2 seconds! Zee Chermans are so humble!

Car & Driver says the Z8 out-performed the Ferrari 360 Modena in Acceleration, raking and Handling. You may want to date an Italian, ut you can't go wrong marrying a German.

The exterior was designed by Henrik Fisker. I wish I had a photo of the one time I parked it next to a Fisker Karma! (Link to Wikipedia article about the Karma)

The Z8's engine has VTEC! OK, ot quite. BMW calls their system "VANOS", nd the S62 engine was the first from BMW to have variable valve timing technology.

I know this is a collector car, nd everyone wants one in mint condition. There are other Z8s for sale right now at over $300,000 that would be perfect for you, nd I encourage you to look at those if you want a turnkey flawless car.
