Overview

Finished in Jet Black over Black Nappa leather upholstery, this 2002 BMW Z8 presents one of the marque’s most celebrated modern roadsters flaunting a timeless specification. Penned by Henrik Fisker as a contemporary homage to the legendary 507 roadster, the Z8 blends retro-inspired design with the best of period BMW M engineering and enthusiast RWD credentials. A removable body-color hardtop, black fabric convertible soft top, xenon headlights, silver 18-inch alloy wheels, and signature neon taillights remain unmistakable keynotes of its early millennium design.

Power comes from BMW’s revered 4.9-liter naturally aspirated V8, factory rated at 394 horsepower and 368 lb-ft of torque, paired to a desirable 6-speed manual transmission. Inside, the cabin features power-adjustable heated sport seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, analog center-mounted dash clock, cruise control, and air conditioning, balancing grand touring comfort with focused performance. An aftermarket AM/FM/CD stereo and trunk-mounted Kicker amplifier provide upgraded audio capability, while recently replaced Toyo Extensa HP II tires ensure the car remains ready for immediate enjoyment.

Showing 36k miles, this Z8 is accompanied by a 2-owner Carfax report and service records from current ownership with maintenance performed by Beverly Hills BMW. All tires were replaced within the last four months, underscoring the attentive stewardship. Included with the sale are three key fobs, factory literature including the owner’s manual, its removable hardtop, battery charger, and tool kit—cementing this example’s appeal as a highly collectible BMW icon.
