Development Timeline
The Z8 was developed between 1993 and 1999 under the internal project name E52. This five‑year development period laid the groundwork for the model that would later hit showrooms in 2000.
Hand‑Built Limited Production
From its launch until production ceased in the summer of 2003, exactly 5,703 Z8 units were manually assembled at BMW’s home plant in Munich. The short production run spanned just five model years (1998‑2003).
Design Heritage and Styling
Designed by Henrik Fisker, the Z8 debuted in showrooms in 2000 with distinctive curved fenders and a wide, flat kidney grille that echo BMW’s earlier Z models. The car nods to the brand’s two‑seat roadster lineage, recalling the Z1 introduced in 1988 and the classic 507 from the 1950s.
