Here is a 14 page paper item that is available at eBay for less than $10. The price guide portion is probably outdated (easily supplemented by what we have available at realOEM.com), but provides labor times which will likely not change much. I think it is a nice piece to build out the literature on our cars.

Here is the site: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/PART-LIST-2000-2001-2002-BMW-Z8-Z-8_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ34211QQitemZ160098799308

Here is the description:

<TABLE borderColor=#666699 width="100%" border=12><TBODY><TR><TD>PART NUMBERS AND PRICE GUIDE FOR YOUR VEHICLE

</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>
These sheets contain a vast amount of useful information about your vehicle including the factory (OEM/Dealer/Manufacturer) part numbers,prices, illustrated diagrams of parts, assemblies and labor times.

This auction is for a set of sheets neatly removed from an expensive 'subscription only' master collision guide that is used by Body Shops, Insurance adjusters, Salavage yards, Aftermarket suppliers,etc.

Thanks Ted, I checked that listing, and it is the same PDF file that everyone can can download here for free from this page (http://www.bmwz8.us/vbb/showthread.php?t=163&referrerid=2).

This is the actual file (http://www.bmwz8.us/pdf/z8_parts.zip), if you wouldn't mind downloading it to see it the prices have changed.

This is interesting. I checked the prices quickly and they were identical till I got down to the very last price on the first page. The downloadable version shows the hose price to be 0.00 , whereas my paper version shows the price to be 8.30. I checked the document versions and both are listed as eudn1_g01. :confused:
Go figger'. Anyway, this is probably a better resource for installation times.
