BMW Z8 · photos, packages and modifications

The new Z8 Roadster was introduced by BMW in 2000.The new Z8 model, which was similar to the Z07 concept car, whose unveiling was done at the Tokyo Auto Show in 1997, had design lines that were almost similar and manufacturers used aluminum lightweight components to build it. BMW Motorsport developed its Powertrain and in order to distribute its weight equally, it positioned it behind the front axle. Although the maximum speed of the car was 155 mph thanks to the speed limiter that it had, it would normally reach 186mph. A hard top that looked like the exterior line of the Z8 and a neon lighting system that the manufacturers had just developed were the features of the roadster. However, since it did not have cabin airflow owing to its hard top, limited slip differential, wind noise and its interior aesthetics were poor; many people criticized this model. Consequently, up until it was discontinued in 2003, the all-new Z8 Roadster did not sell much because of these reasons.
