Recently I decided its a good time to buy a BMW Z8, considering you can get one in very good condition even for less than 100k EUR. That said, I would like to learn more about this car before buying it. Does anybody here have got any experience with this car? Or got some reviews of the Z8er? I would be helpful for me.
The only bimmer I still haven't drove. The interior is of amazing quality and lasts forever from what I've seen. It ain't a track car from what I've heard.
Here are some reviews: http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/bmw-z8-short-take-road-test-review http://www.caranddriver.com/compari...vs-bmw-z8-ferrari-360-spider-comparison-tests http://www.roadandtrack.com/tests/c...ng_rivalry_-_bmw_m_roadster_vs._bmw_z8_page_2 http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/suvs/112_0005_2000_bmw_z8/viewall.html There is apparently a structural problem which, left unchecked, could be a financial disaster to fix: http://www.germancarforum.com/community/threads/bmw-z8-badly-constructed.2412/
I know there were some issues with the aluminum and I don't know what it all involved or if was was something that was fixable.
I've driven one a couple of times, and it's an amazing car to drive. Get one, if you can. It's an all time classic imo.
