BMW Z8

The BMW Z8 began as the Z07 concept at the 1997 Tokyo Motor Show, a modern tribute to the classic BMW 507. Designed by Henrik Fisker, it entered production for the 2000 model year and gained instant fame as James Bond's car in 'The World Is Not Enough.' The Z8 features an all-aluminum spaceframe and body panels, powered by the 4.9-liter S62 V8 from the E39 M5, producing 394 hp and paired exclusively with a 6-speed manual transmission.

Collectors prize the Z8 for its stunning design, analog driving experience, and limited production. Only 5,703 were built worldwide, with 2,543 designated for the US market. The car's handmade quality and connection to both a classic predecessor and a cinematic icon make it a staple in many modern collections. It also came with a unique set of accessories, including a color-matched hardtop and a personalized coffee table book detailing the car's production.

The Z8 market has remained strong since the car was new, with values appreciating consistently. With an average sale price over $200,000, it's a blue-chip modern classic. Low-mileage examples in desirable colors command the highest prices, while cars with higher mileage or any history of frame damage trade at a significant discount.

Prices range from $116,000 for driver-condition cars to over $478,000 for the best low-mileage examples.
