2002 BMW Z8
Sold on Sotheby's Motorsport · 2002 BMW Z8 · 37,116 miles · Hinsdale, IL
Offered here is a 2002 BMW Z8 (E52) finished in Titanium Silver Metallic over Black All-Leather Nappa with Comfort Seats, showing 37,000 miles. Conceived as a modern homage to the 1950s BMW 507 and styled under BMW Designworks USA, the Z8 was built on an all-aluminum spaceframe with aluminum body panels and assembled in limited numbers, making it one of BMW’s most iconic modern-era halo cars. With its long-hood proportions, side gills, and twin-kidney grille, the Z8 remains a landmark of turn-of-the-millennium BMW design—and a celebrated collectible from the brand’s analog high point. Power comes from BMW M’s 4.9-liter S62 DOHC 32-valve V8 with variable valve timing, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission driving the rear wheels through a limited-slip differential. Factory engineering highlights include dynamic throttle control with Sport and Comfort mapping, one-touch starting, power rack-and-pinion steering, 4-wheel ventilated disc brakes with Dynamic Brake Control, and Z8-specific 18-inch 10-spoke alloy wheels (18x8 front, 18x9 rear). Additional technical details from the window sticker include a 19.5-gallon fuel tank and BMW’s distinctive dual polished exhaust outlets. Comfort and equipment reflect the Z8’s dual mission as both grand tourer and sports roadster, with navigation, cruise control, manual air conditioning, Harman/Kardon audio with 6-disc CD changer, power windows, tire-pressure monitoring, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, a power telescoping tilt steering column, and heated sport seats. Safety features include dual-threshold “smart” front airbags, door-mounted side-impact airbags, and automatic belt pretensioners. Exterior equipment includes xenon headlights with headlight washer jets, heated power chrome mirrors, neon turn signals/brake lights, and the desirable body-colored removable hardtop noted by the owner. Originally delivered with an MSRP of $130k, this Z8 is presented as a compelling, option-rich example of BMW’s modern classic roadster.
