To Be OFFERED AT AUCTION WITHOUT RESERVE at RM Sothebys' Munich event, 23 November 2024.

  • An excellent example of BMW’s famous retro-modern millennium roadster
  • Powered by its matching-numbers V-8 engine
  • One of only 5,703 made and delivered new to Germany
  • Finished in Titansilber Metallic over a black leather interior with black convertible hood
  • Accompanied by colour-matching hardtop with stand
  • Odometer reads 48,946 kilometres

Initially codenamed “Z07”, the BMW Z8 was unveiled in concept form at the 1997 Tokyo Motor Show. Its BMW-enthused design DNA shared strong links to the 507 Roadster, as a stylish convertible with a V-8 engine. The design brief had been completed by Henrik Fisker, who later worked on the the Aston Martin DB9 and V8 Vantage, among others. The Z8 was ready for customers by 1999, the same year the car was deftly exhibited as a technological marvel as James Bond’s car in the 1999 film, The World Is Not Enough.

The example offered for sale here, finished in Titansilber Metallic over a Black leather interior, was built for the 2000 model year and delivered new to Germany. The order was fulfilled by Autohaus Scharmach of Duisburg for its first owner, who resided in nearby Mülheim. The original keeper retained the Z8 until it was acquired by The Munich Masterpieces Collection in 2022. Its odometer reading at the time of cataloguing of 48,946 kilometres suggests relatively light use over its near-25-year lifetime, while its first owner maintained the BMW with main dealer servicing until 2017, verified by invoices available to view on file. The Z8 retains its matching-numbers engine and is offered with a colour-matching hardtop with a stand, in addition to a Birth Certificate by BMW Classic, original purchase invoice, and servicing invoices.
