In the Garage: 2001 BMW Z8 - Newsday
Enter the Z8 limited production roadster, which borrows its design cues from the fabled BMW 507s of 1956 to 1959. Those early two-seaters are now full-fledged classics and one was sold at auction through RM Sotheby’s last year for over $2. 4 million. ” “The car was in very good condition when I bought it,” he says, “but I did have to replace the headlights, leather dashboard and the rearview mirror. The car handles very well, is very easy to drive and is quite comfortable, even on long drives. BMW guarantees parts for this car for 50 years. ” “I started my search for this car when my son, Randy, asked me what car I would want to have if price were no object,” he says. “He is a ‘car guy’ and when we get together, we inevitably talk about cars. When I told him I thought the BMW Z8 was one of the most beautiful cars, he encouraged me to go for it. I often get stopped at a light or in a parking lot. Needless to say, Randy will get this car when I am gone or can no longer drive. Source: www.newsday.com
