BMW Z8 E52

Дата актуальности: 2026-08-13 Код: E52 Период: 1999–2003 Кузов: Roadster Статус: редакционная глава gap closure.

BMW Group Classic describes the Z8 as one of BMW's most exclusive automobiles and as a modern homage to the BMW 507.

Series production

• public presentation of the project: 1997;
• series production start: January 1999;
• production period: 1999–2003;
• BMW Classic family count: 5,700 vehicles.

Powertrain

BMW Classic:

• all BMW Z8 production cars used the V8 engine from the contemporary BMW M5;
• engine family: S62B50 in the later engine normalization stage;
• displacement: 4.9-litre class;
• output: 400 PS class in BMW historical specification.

Construction

• aluminium spaceframe/chassis-body concept;
• rear-wheel drive;
• six-speed manual for the BMW Z8 production car;
• retro-modern design linked deliberately to the BMW 507.

ALPINA boundary

BMW Classic explicitly notes the later ALPINA Roadster V8 as a collector derivative.

Taxonomy:

• BMW Z8 E52 = BMW production model;
• ALPINA Roadster V8 = separate ALPINA manufacturer/model branch and must not be merged into the standard BMW Z8 row.

Why редакционная глава adds this file

The previous coverage matrix mentioned Z8, but редакционная глава–016 contained no dedicated Z8 file or registry entry. This was a genuine core-generation omission.
