The BMW Z8 isn't simply a dream or a vision. It's a reality. The finest BMW ever built, this elegant supercar delivers pleasure in the purest form.

Curvaceous, muscular and exquisitely detailed, the BMW Z8 is one of the most desirable, exclusive cars ever to wear the BMW badge. Echoing styling cues from the classic BMW 507 of the 1950s, seeing, let alone driving a BMW Z8, is an experience never to be forgotten.

In the most modest way, the BMW Z8 offers the exhilaration of driving a true sports car. Available with the five litre eight-cylinder engine from the BMW M5, the BMW Z8 is understated in its excellence. Its power and refinement are limitless.

The BMW Z8 features an array of highly advanced technologies: interlinked electronic chassis control and stability systems provide optimum performance and handling and a range of high-tech innovations deliver the perfect combination of sports and luxury.

Driving an open-top car is an incomparable experience that brings you closer to the outside world. However in the event of an accident, the driver and passengers in a convertible must be as safe as those in a saloon. This is why we have given the Z8 one of the very best safety concepts in its class to ensure active and passive safety are maximised at all times.
