The entry
The BMW Z8.
The Z8 used an aluminium spaceframe and body, paired with a naturally-aspirated V8 shared with the contemporary M5.
Its styling drew on BMW's earlier 507 roadster, and it was built for a limited run as a standalone flagship model.
We review your BMW Z8 on the engineering behind it, its own history and its condition, not against a generic pricing model.
What we look for
What we weigh in a BMW Z8.
Every BMW Z8 is reviewed on the same four things as any other entry in the Index. Gaps are normal; tell us what you have. Neither a modification nor outstanding finance rules a car out on its own.
- 01
Documented history: service records and provenance for a BMW Z8, however complete.
- 02
Originality and modifications: what has changed, and why.
- 03
Condition, honestly described, including anything outstanding.
- 04
Paperwork and finance still to sort.

Footnotes
º1Do you buy the BMW Z8?
Yes. The BMW Z8 is on the index of cars we buy directly, filed under Classics & Grand Touring as entry Nº 043 / 168. Send the registration or the car's details and a specialist reviews it personally.
º2Do you need to see my BMW Z8 before making an offer?
Not for the offer itself. A specialist reviews what you tell us about your BMW Z8 first. Inspection follows once you accept a direct purchase offer, before anything is finalised.
º3How does selling my BMW Z8 to MotorSignet work?
Send the registration or the details of your BMW Z8. A specialist reviews it personally and, if it fits what we buy, makes a direct purchase offer. If you accept, inspection and collection are arranged. Paid in full by bank transfer before your vehicle leaves. We aim to complete within 7 days where checks and paperwork are ready.
º4Do you buy Z8s with the removable hard-top missing?
Tell us what's included with the car. It's part of an honest submission rather than a reason to rule it out.
This page describes a type of car we buy and source directly, not a specific example currently held or for sale.
