- One of the 49 cars sold new in France
- 65,100 km from new
- Regularly maintained, recent service in May 2026
The BMW Z8, of which 5703 units were built from 2000–2003, is truly a dragster in evening dress, a rare and fascinating machine which marked the start of the new millennium. Only 49 cars are believed to have been sold new in France, among them the example we are presenting, delivered in the first few days of January 2001 by the BMW dealer in Noisy-le-Sec. Finished in metallic Titanium grey, combined with a superb interior in red Nappa leather, this Z8 has a black hood and still has its body-colour hardtop. Its first owner kept the car until 2012, and it was bought by the BMW dealership Pelras for its own use in 2015. Its current owner bought the car from Pelras in July 2023 and has continued to have it serviced there. Indeed, it has just been serviced in May 2026. The records for its safety inspections show a steady increase in its mileage up to the 65,100 km showing when we inspected the car. Very well cared for and supplied with a tailor-made protective cover, this handsome roadster has been partly repainted. Our inspection showed the care taken by the succession of different owners. A valuation report prepared in 2023 at 61,922 km is included in the car’s history file and confirms its good overall condition. A model for collectors ever since it left the factory, the Z8 has made a well-deserved place for itself in the world of classic cars, so don’t miss out on this lovely example with a clear history.
