The BMW Z8 is a roadster produced by BMW from 2000 to 2003. It received the model code BMW E52.

The Z8 was developed under the code name "E52" between 1993 and 1999, through the efforts of a design team led by Chris Bangle from 1993 to 1995.

The Z8 was originally designed as an exercise in style to evoke and celebrate the BMW 507 1956-1959. Prototypes were seen in tests between 1996 and 1999.
