	Full Test: 2001 BMW Z8 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Technologically, the Z8 is light years removed from its forebear, but visually many of its styling cues are remarkably similar — its long, sloping hood with round headlight humps, the twin-kidney grille, the distinctive vents aft of the front wheels and the red leather interior all invoke images of the 507.
		The Z8 borrows the all-aluminum 5.0-liter powerplant that is used in the M5 sedan.
		BMW will be largely to blame for a lot of kids in study halls drawing cars rather than reviewing for their tests.

		Based on the Z07 concept car that BMW revealed to the world at the 1997 Tokyo motor show, the Z8 is intended to evoke the famous 507 roadster with that car's characteristic twin-nostril grille and uniquely shaped front-fender vents.
		As the photos demonstrate here, BMW did not stray far from the sensuously sculpted shape that stole the Tokyo show almost three years ago.
