I have been told the delay in delivering Z8s has been due to instability at speeds around 150 mph (similar to the Audi TT problems). It sounds like BMW is fitting the cars with a rear spoiler and that is what the delay is.


WOW - this is another story I already read in the German magazine auto, motor & sport a couple of months ago. they even had a spy photo from the Z8 with the rear spoiler. Ugly, very ugly and it seems unfortunately to be another proof that this car is a real beauty but anything but high-tech.
The BMW guys and especially Mr.Bangle should face the fact that design is not everything :-(
