Sucks for this guy.. Probably the only BMW "Z" that I'll ever like. Is that the exhaust tip on the ground?



Run down a list of every car BMW has ever produced and chances are, you’re going to find the BMW Z8 somewhere in the Top 5. So it brings us absolutely no joy in reporting about this Alpina-tuned BMW Z8 getting rear ended by – of all cars – a Dodge Stratus.

There’s no looking on the bright side as far as this car crash is concerned. The BMW Z8 just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. As is the case with most car crashes, there needs to be someone to take the fall and while we have no information as to why the driver of the Stratus rear-ended the Z8, we can’t help but feel sorry for the owner of the BMW supercar.

It’s one thing to wreck a standard BMW. But a Z8 Roadster? That’s an absolute injustice.

Truly a gorgeous car. But slushbox tranny FTL.

 

The bright side to this is that it was the Alpina-bastardized version and not the real-deal Z8 which was actually a decent car.

Why would anyone prefer a slushbox and boring 4.4L V8 from the X5 over the absolutely brilliant 5.0L V8 from the M5?

 

To a lot of people the only thing engine-related they care about is how many cylinders. In other words, all V8s are the same to them.

 

Those people are idiots and should be driving a Prius, not a Z8.

 

But society says a Z8 is cooler than a Prius!

 

You sure about that?

 

They were both crap.

 

rather have a 507.

 

Nope, and you're probably right.
