The BMW Z8 is among the most valuable Bimmers in history. Nice examples well sell for several hundreds of dollars, due to their rarity, beauty, and collectability. Which is why this one, currently for sale on Cars and Bids<\/a>, represents a unique opportunity. It might just be the cheapest BMW Z8<\/a> you\u2019ll see from here on out.<\/p>\n

At the time of writing this, there\u2019s currently just one day left on the auction and the bid is up to $70,500. That makes it the cheapest Z8 for sale I\u2019ve ever seen and, with only one day left, it\u2019s not likely to get too much more expensive from here. Why is it so cheap? Because it\u2019s far from perfect.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t get me wrong, it takes some digging to find out what\u2019s wrong with it because it looks so good, inside and out. However, it does have a few flaws and even some modifications, so it lacks the prestige and originality that collectors love. But their loss can be your gain, as you might be able to sneak out with a BMW Z8 for under $100,000.<\/p>\n

What sort of flaws are we talking about? Nothing more than some scratches, worn seats, and a soft-top roof (that barely works) to replace the old hard top. The silver paint looks like it\u2019s in\u00a0 mostly good shape and the red interior looks mostly pretty good, too.\u00a0As for the modifications, it was given an Eisenmann exhaust, Eisenmann mufflers, KW coilovers, and a new strut brace, so it should handle as it\u2019s supposed to.\u00a0It\u2019s still weird to see a BMW Z8 not selling for over $100,000.<\/p>\n

It only has 57,000 miles on it, so it\u2019s still mechanically pretty fresh. Which means the 4.9-liter E39 M5 engine is still in good shape but will need servicing, as it is a high-strung M engine after all. It\u2019s paired with a six-speed manual, as all non-ALPINA Z8\u2019s were, and it powers only the rear wheels.<\/p>\n

There really aren\u2019t any modern roadsters with those sorts of specs anymore, so this one is likely worth getting and fixing its minor issues. Once that\u2019s done, it will raise in value and be a worthwhile investment for its next owner.<\/p>\n
