2001 Bmw Z8

[ed2065]

2001 BMW Z8--- 1 of 178 made in that color that year.

A total of 5'703 made in the 3 year production (2000-2003)



And half were shipped to the United States

This is one of four registered in the state of GA



The car debuted in the movie



-- The world is not enough-- The 1999 James Bond film.



The price of this beauty was a whopping $128,000 MSRP from the dealer.

Still worth over a 100K today​

The Wash

It was already washed for me. I did have to wash the rims with my favorite wheel brush. The '16 inch deep reach wheel brush. Since the inside of them were still dirty.



The Interior

Vacuumed- talk about a small interior. Pinnacle leather conditioner on all leather(seats/dash/doors/console/steeringwheel). Pinnacle XMT360 on painted interior.



The Gameplan

Out came the big dog my DeWalt with a wool pad, Speed at 1800 rpm. With Menzerna SIP and Optimum Polish. On the trunk/hood/top of fenders. Then out with the PC and a EDGE yellow pad. With the Optimum polish/menzerna SIP, to the whole car. Checked paint and was free of holograms from the rotary. Then also with the PC, I used menzerna 106FF and Pinnacle's XMT Carnauba Finishing Glaze. For the wow effect. Topped this beauty with Pinnacle's Sig Series II.



The paint is called Topasblau Metallic.



All taped up

Sweet. I love those cars. It was designed by Henrik Fisker. My avatar is the interior of a silver one. Nice job, looks great.

In the next Bond there using the same DBS again, strange having the same Bond car twice but I love the DBS so its okay. Z8 came out nice, too bad that car never really hit it big I think it looks beautiful.

It's not going to be the *same* one but rather another, that's fine with me, It's a beautiful car.

Nice work! Reminds me of the one I did a little over 3 years ago back in August 2004. Sorry about the bad pictures (no closeups or interior). It's wearing Souveran paste as the LSP.



The car is one sweet ride!
