: WoW the Z8 really is as good as 128k.
: all "s from April CAR
: "In the flesh BMW's Z8 is far more dramatic than photos can show with any justice"
: "the Z8 excels on real roads"
: such as old Nurburgring where it is 15 seconds quicker than M5"
: "Ferrari 360 and 996 turbo are marginally quicker of the mark, but NOTHING this side of a Lamborghini Diablo GT beats the Z8 in terms of mid range punch."
: "the Z8 accelerates in even in 4th and 5th gear as if it were pulled by a rubber band attached to the horizon."
: "It's easy to find a rhythm in this car. The weight of the pedals, the calibration of the gearbox and the torque curve make prompt progress amazingly seamless and effortless."
: 'while L85,000 is a lot for a BMW, it substantially undercuts other upmarket converts."
: "roomer has it that a Z8M with a 530bhp 6.0 liter engine"
: "the inevitable questions arise. Is the Z8 special enough to justify its hefty price? ABSOLUTELY."
: "It is seriously fast, its build quality is simply amazing, and the eye-catching design is matched by a truly gorgeous cockpit."
: "Is there a better, more desirable car for the same money? Perhaps -- but we haven't driven it yet."
: "In a sector determined by style, speed and sportness, BMW really does build the ultimate driving machine."
: well I'll just have to be content with my 323Ci for now but good luck to you guys with what will surely be an incredible car!
