Had to share this. I never thought I'd see one at my local hardware store.

well said, the z8 is basically a z3 w/an e39 m5 engine, and the 8 series, well they are just awesome!

**Skilario** · 09-22-2007, 06:37 PM

dang, i love z8s. was it a manual or auto?

**theSMELSINATOR** · 09-22-2007, 06:41 PM

^it had better be manual.

i do like the z8s. got to sit in an alpina z8 in a dealership once. still, i think my heart stopped when i saw that widebody 8.

not quite true.

while it is an S62, about the only thing it shares with the Z3 is a letter and the fact that they are both two seat roadsters.

i always like the Z8 and the first time i saw it on the road i almost wet my pants. i hear that it handles like crap, but it is still an awe inspiring vehicle
