This engine, known internally as the <a href="/wiki/BMW_S62" class="mw-redirect" title="BMW S62">S62</a>, was built by <a href="/wiki/BMW_Motorsport" class="mw-redirect" title="BMW Motorsport">BMW Motorsport</a> and was shared with the <a href="/wiki/BMW_M5#E39" title="BMW M5">E39 M5</a> sports saloon. The engine is located behind the front axle in order to provide the car with a 50/50 weight distribution. The factory claimed a 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) acceleration time of 4.7 seconds; <i><a href="/wiki/Motor_Trend" title="Motor Trend">Motor Trend</a></i> magazine achieved 0–96 km/h (0–60 mph) in 4.2 seconds. <i><a href="/wiki/Road_%26_Track" title="Road & Track">Road & Track</a></i> measured the car's lateral grip at 0.92. <i><a href="/wiki/Car_and_Driver" title="Car and Driver">Car and Driver</a></i> magazine also tested the car and found that it outperformed the contemporary benchmark <a href="/wiki/Ferrari_360_Modena" class="mw-redirect" title="Ferrari 360 Modena">Ferrari 360 Modena</a> in three important performance categories: <a href="/wiki/Acceleration" title="Acceleration">acceleration</a>, <a href="/wiki/Car_handling" class="mw-redirect" title="Car handling">handling</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Braking" class="mw-redirect" title="Braking">braking</a>. As with most BMW automobiles the top speed of the Z8 was electronically limited to 250 km/h (155.4 mph) with the delimited top speed amounting to an estimated 290 km/h (180 mph). </p><p>The Z8 used neon exterior lighting, the tail lights and turn indicators are powered by neon tubes that offer quicker activation than standard lightbulbs and are expected to last for the life of the vehicle. Due to the quirk in the <a href="/wiki/Federal_Motor_Vehicle_Safety_Standards" title="Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards">US FMVSS regulations</a>, the turn signal indicators in the tail lights are entirely in red colour. </p><p>Every car was shipped with a colour-matching metal hardtop with a rear defroster. Unlike many contemporary hardtops, which are provided for practical rather than stylistic considerations, the hardtop of the Z8 was designed from the outset to complement the lines of the car's styling. </p> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:BMW_Z8_Interieur.JPG" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fb/BMW_Z8_Interieur.JPG/220px-BMW_Z8_Interieur.JPG" decoding="async" width="220" height="146" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fb/BMW_Z8_Interieur.JPG/330px-BMW_Z8_Interieur.JPG 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fb/BMW_Z8_Interieur.JPG/440px-BMW_Z8_Interieur.JPG 2x" data-file-width="3008" data-file-height="2000" /></a><figcaption>Interior</figcaption></figure> <p>In order to keep the interior uncluttered, a number of functions were integrated into multifunction controls. For example, the power windows and mirrors were controlled by a single instrument. Also, the centre-mounted instrument cluster was canted slightly toward the driver. The displacement of gauges to the middle of the dashboard was intended to offer an unimpeded view of the hood and the road ahead. </p><p>In order to promote the Z8 to collectors and reinforce media speculation about the car's "instant classic" potential, BMW promised that a 50-year stockpile of spare parts would be maintained in order to support the Z8 fleet. Due to the limited volume of production, all elements of the car were constructed or finished by hand, thereby compounding the importance of ongoing manufacturer support for the type. The price and production process allowed BMW to offer customised options to interested buyers. A significant number of cars with bespoke paint and interior treatments were produced over the course of the four-year production run by BMW Individual, a division of BMW AG. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Z8_Safety_Car">Z8 Safety Car</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=BMW_Z8&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Z8 Safety Car"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>A <a href="/wiki/Safety_car" title="Safety car">safety car</a> variant of the Z8 was produced for use in the 2001 season of <a href="/wiki/MotoGP" class="mw-redirect" title="MotoGP">MotoGP</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div style="clear:both;" class=""></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Alpina_Roadster_V8">Alpina Roadster V8</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=BMW_Z8&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Alpina Roadster V8"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:BMW_Alpina_V8_Roadster_(4979404463).jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/81/BMW_Alpina_V8_Roadster_%284979404463%29.jpg/220px-BMW_Alpina_V8_Roadster_%284979404463%29.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/81/BMW_Alpina_V8_Roadster_%284979404463%29.jpg/330px-BMW_Alpina_V8_Roadster_%284979404463%29.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/81/BMW_Alpina_V8_Roadster_%284979404463%29.jpg/440px-BMW_Alpina_V8_Roadster_%284979404463%29.jpg 2x" data-file-width="3264" data-file-height="2448" /></a><figcaption>Alpina Roadster V8 with the hardtop in place</figcaption></figure> <p>With production of the Z8 completed by November 2002, the Z8 was replaced by the <a href="/wiki/Alpina_Burkard_Bovensiepen" class="mw-redirect" title="Alpina Burkard Bovensiepen">Alpina</a> Roadster V8 in 2003.<sup id="cite_ref-Car_and_Driver_9-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Car_and_Driver-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The Alpina was a departure from the hard-edged sporting focus of the original car, and elements of grand touring intent were evident throughout this final iteration. Instead of the original 6-speed manual and 4.9 L (<a href="/wiki/BMW_S62" class="mw-redirect" title="BMW S62">S62</a>) engine featured in original Z8, the Alpina came only with an automatic transmission, utilising a 5-speed <a href="/wiki/BMW_Steptronic" class="mw-redirect" title="BMW Steptronic">BMW Steptronic</a> transmission mated to a 4.8 L Alpina-tuned <a href="/wiki/BMW_M62" title="BMW M62">BMW M62</a> V8 engine from the Alpina E39 B10 V8 S. In order to complete the car's transition from a sports car to a refined grand tourer, a softer suspension setting was used. The standard Z8's <a href="/wiki/Run-flat_tyres" class="mw-redirect" title="Run-flat tyres">run-flat tyres</a> on 18 in (46 cm) wheels were discarded in favor of conventional tyres with softer sidewalls mounted on 20 in (51 cm) Alpina wheels.<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> A new softer grade of Nappa leather replaced the Z8's less supple specification, and special Alpina gauges were fitted on the dash board cluster.
