It is - IMHO - extremely sexy, but that's it. The Z8 is definetley the first and the last "blind order" I ever made at BMW. Even a Viper is a better sports car. The Z8 is made to look at and not to drive with. I love the car, but still it is a disappointment in too many ways. BMW is obviously not able to build a real GT, or something similar to the MB SL or CL. Too sad. Besides: Did anyone see the new 7? Probably the most ugly car I've ever seen, well, maybe except the Ford Edsel. ;-)
