Used For Sale at Auction: 2001 BMW Z8 for sale in Monteira

To Be OFFERED AT AUCTION WITHOUT RESERVE at RM Sothebys' The S�ragga Collection event, 20 - 21 September 2019. Estimate: €150,000 - €180,000 One of only 138 finished in Topaz Blue Metallic European-delivery example An ideal driver's Z8 Bursting onto the world stage after a starring role alongside Pierce Brosnan in the James Bond film The World is Not Enough, BMW's Z8 was the company's new halo car and the spiritual successor to the legendary BMW 507. Powered by the celebrated BMW S62, which it shared with the E39 M5, it produced 400 bhp, and the Z8 bested even Ferrari's 360 Modena in contemporary acceleration tests, although it was intended to be more of an open-top grand tourer than an all-out performance car. Built in February of 2001, this Z8 was originally finished in Topaz Blue Metallic over a Black leather interior and is one of only 138 examples finished in Topaz Blue. Built to European specifications, it was sold new the following month, yet early history of the car is not known. However, the Z8 was imported to Portugal by at least 2011 and is accompanied by a number of service invoices dating from 2011 to 2016. In 2011 the original engine was replaced by BMW Santogal of Lisbon at 155,067 km. Since then the car has been regularly maintained by them, and it has accumulated roughly 6,000 km since. Importantly, the car is accompanied by its original hardtop. Considering its higher mileage, the car presents very well both inside and out and would be the perfect acquisition for someone looking to drive their Z8 on a regular basis. Higher-mileage Z8s are seldom seen, and this example warrants consideration from the individual who wants to enjoy this Z8 as its engineers intended�on the open road. Um de apenas 138 acabados em azul Topaz Blue Metallic Exemplar de especifica��o europeia O Z8 ideal para condutores Entrando no palco mundial depois de um papel de protagonista ao lado de Pierce Brosnan no filme de James Bond 007, "O Mundo N�o Chega", o Z8 da BMW foi o novo autom�vel-�cone da empresa e o sucessor espiritual do lend�rio BMW 507. Motorizado pelo c�lebre BMW S62, compartilhado com o E39 M5, produzia 400cv, e o Z8 superou at� mesmo o Ferrari 360 Modena em testes de acelera��o contempor�neos, embora tenha sido planeado para ser mais um grande turismo descapot�vel do que um desportivo. Constru�do em fevereiro de 2001, este Z8 foi originalmente especificado em Azul Topaz Blue Metallic com interior de couro Preto e � um dos apenas 138 exemplares fabricados nesta cor. Constru�do de acordo com as especifica��es europeias, foi vendido no m�s seguinte, mas ainda n�o se conhece a hist�ria inicial deste autom�vel. No entanto, o Z8 foi importado para Portugal, o mais tardar, em 2011 e � acompanhado por uma s�rie de faturas de servi�o que datam de 2011 a 2016. Em 2011, o motor original foi substitu�do pela BMW Santogal de Lisboa aos 155.067 km. Desde ent�o, o carro tem sido mantido regularmente por este concession�rio, e acumulou cerca de 6000 km desde ent�o. Detalhe importante, o Z8 � acompanhado pelo capota r�gida original. Considerando a sua quilometragem, apresenta-se em muito bom estado, tanto no interior como exterior. Ser� a aquisi��o perfeita para algu�m que procura conduzir o seu Z8 numa base regular. Os Z8 com quilometragens elevadas s�o raros, e este exemplar merece ser considerado pela pessoa que quer aproveitar este Z8 como os seus engenheiros pretendiam: em estrada aberta.To view this car and others currently consigned to this auction, please visit the RM website at rmsothebys.com/en/auctions/pg19 .
