The Z8 features bodywork designed by Henrik Fisker with inspiration from the BMW 507 roadster, and the aluminum body panels are mounted over an aluminum spaceframe. This example is finished in Titanium Silver Metallic and features a color-matched removable hardtop and a black soft top. Additional equipment includes xenon headlights with washers, front fender air extractors with BMW roundels, polished mirror caps, dual exhaust outlets, and neon taillights and turn indicators. The front hood alignment was recently adjusted, and photographs of paint-meter readings are shown in the gallery below.
The 18” split-spoke wheels are mounted with Continental ContiSportContact 3E SSR tires that show date codes from 2015 and 2016. The four-wheel disc brake system is equipped with Dynamic Brake Control (DBC), and additional features include Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) and All-Season Traction (ASC). Paint chips are noted on the wheels.
The cabin features black Nappa leather upholstery that extends from the power-adjustable seats to the dashboard, center console, and door panels. Amenities include a six-disc CD changer, navigation, a Harman Kardon sound system, leather-wrapped roll hoops, a BMW-branded carphone, air conditioning, and cruise control.
The banjo-spoke steering wheel features silver trim within a leather-wrapped rim. Centrally mounted instrumentation includes a 155-mph speedometer, an 8k-rpm tachometer with an integrated analog clock, and gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level. The digital odometer indicates 12k miles.
The 4.9-liter S62 V8 was shared with the contemporary E39 M5 and features double-VANOS variable valve timing for a factory-rated output of 394 horsepower and 368 lb-ft torque. The performance package added a front strut tower brace and supports. The battery was replaced in March 2020, and an oil change was performed in March 2021.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transmission. Additional photographs of the underside are shown in the gallery below.
