Gorgeous!
Wonder how much it would cost to put a V8 into an E85. Then it would be a keeper!

I always loved the Z8, but I've only ever seen one and that was in 2007 at BMW UK when they were in Bracknell. Harry's videos are always good too - I'd love to visit his garage!

As for a V8 in an E85 why bother when it seems a V10 will fit? Pretty sure it was a member on here from Scotland who did it.

The Z8 is a truly gorgeous car and the small numbers that were produced guaranteed it as a future classic at the time of production.
I don't care what you say, I won't agree with your view. :x

Wow, I’d sure like to read the thread on that if it exists.
