You may all ready know this, but if you've visited any of the BMW sites you may have noticed the Z8 is no longer available. It has now been replaced by the watered down, patch worked Alpina version.
I congratulate all those who made the E52 a reality, who had a dream, a vision and without compromise produced one the most beautiful, most exhilarating cars ever made. As will the E39 M5, the E52 Z8 now goes down into car history, sure to become a classic.
A toast fellow owners, to the E52 Z8
Cheers.
