I was driving an E39 M5 not long ago. That engine in a zed would be fantastic.

I’ve called in a few times when working in the village and they always have some cracking cars in. They currently have the late queens Range Rover for sale if you fancy that 😂

Not my thing :oops:
Do they mind the common folk coming in and having a poke around, even though they don’t have £189k to spare?

I've only ever seen two Z8s.

The first was at BMW UK in 2007 then in 2021 someone took one to a local Classic Car meet.

They look stunning, although I seem to remember the motoring press at the time weren't too impressed.

I'd still love one though!
Coupes because stunning!

Better to look at than drive. I would need a bigger lounge to hang it in. :wink:

Kinda of a dream car I always lusted after until I read reviews of the time which came across as nothing special to drive, more of a boulevard cruiser.

Still lovely looking and that interior.

Don't think anyone who has the money, or desire, to buy a Z8 will be remotely interested in driving it TBH.
They have become like rare paintings; purely investment assets.
Admittedly you could get it trailered to Goodwood once a year and be treated like royalty, but that's the most daylight it will see IMO.

A very pretty car in my opinion, but not pretty enough for £200k.
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

F31 320i. Good car.
E89 20i Now fully dried
Z3 'free litre'. Project and a half. Complicated!
Mazda3 sold
Tatty old R56 Mini Cooper. Money pit!

You haven't seen my Z3 lately have you? It looks like it has been vandalised by Edward Scissorhands. :D

Doesn’t float my boat.

I wouldn’t feel good parking at Asda in that, or taking it up the multi storey car park :o
