Among countless models BMW has released, the BMW Z8 remains our top favorite. One could say that its association with James Bond is the only thing that keeps its hype going. But for us, the most remarkable and significant feature lies under the Z8’s hood. Equipped with an S62 engine, simply one of the best V8s ever made. It’s so good that its usage extends from the Bavarians to the whole industry, as well.
With its design, the Z8 undeniably carries other tricks up its sleeves. As a matter of fact, the Z8 is based on the original 507 that has that classic piece of art that comes with rare features. It is an extremely desirable model, adding to the fact that there were only less than 6,000 units of them. It wouldn’t at all be a surprise if prices for these cars would’ve gone up and will continue to so.
As I’m writing this, the car we have for you today already reached $162,000 on a Bring-A-Trailer auction. Just by looking at the pictures, you can tell that it is worth the price. The Jet Black exterior seems impeccable as does the bright red leather inside. Everything looks immaculate and to say that it has only 17,000 miles (27,000 kilometers) on the clock, which is one of the lowest-mileage models out there – it’s definitely a steal! Furthermore, this car had only been through one owner from the day it was made in 2000.
If you’d ask me if it’s worth the money, I’d say it sure is. However, there are still three days to go to this auction, and the price tag could go even higher. Think about it, this could be a good investment in the future. It comes with the original sticker, too, which had it listed for just over $130,000. This means that its owner could even get a nice profit out of it at the end of the day despite driving it for 17,000 miles.
