1) As far as I am concerned, the style of the Z8 is superior to the Jag, Lotus, Ferraari and Lambourghini that I seriously looked at first 2) I heard that the maintenance on many of those other cars was far higher and the car would be in the shop more often 3) Great relationship with my local BMW dealer who has been servicing some 4 BMW's I have bought over a long period of time 4) ITS AN AWESOME CAR !!!!!!!!! How come you Z8 owners decided to purchase a Z8 over a ferrari or porshce turbo? Although the Z8 is undoubtedly a beautfully well-made and engineered car, it is still just a BMW. This message is out out of pure curiosity, and is not intended to be an insult.
