2002 BMW Z8 Roadster
BMWs Lofty Roadster
The Z8 combines classic styling with state-of-the-art engineering in a thoroughbred high-speed roadster for the fortunate few. But you need a fortune to buy one because rabid demand and low volume drive selling prices way above the lofty sticker.
Limited-edition, high-performance 2-seat convertible.
The fully equipped Z8 features a power soft top, removable hardtop, an internal skeleton structure made largely of aluminum, a 4.9-liter V8 borrowed from the high-performance M5 sedan, and mandatory 6-speed manual transmission. Also standard are side airbags, antilock 4-wheel disc brakes, 18-inch wheels, run-flat tires with pressure-warning system. Retro-look dashboard has high, legible central gauges, but lights and ignition switches require an awkward reach around the steering wheel. Navigation system is fiendishly complex to program and an odd control arrangement forces the driver to use two switches to operate the right-side window. And top`s plastic rear window is inexcusable at the $130,000. sticker price but hey the real reason youd want to have one in the first place is just to feel what its like to go from 0-60 in 4.5 seconds. In any case the BMW Z8 is sure to be a legend.
