They Say BMW Z9


I don't know about the rest of you but if this is the new Z9, then I feel a little let down. The Z8 had instant collectability written all over it. I've dealt in classic and collectable cars for over 10 yrs as a hobby and as a career. There are not many modern day automobiles you can look to and say "that's going to be worth something someday". The Z8 was one of those rare exceptions. I'm sure the Z9 will perform extremely well and sell well but it lacks character, uniqueness, and the overwhelming styling flair of the Z8. The Z8 was a rolling piece of art with little details everywhere that appeared almost as jewelry in the design. If you are one of the lucky few that own an Alpina Edition, please take care of it. Someday you will be glad you did. (created autospies.com).
