Most likely not "home made" as the book would be quite difficult (if not impossible) to duplicate from scratch. Just not the same book that came with...

so probably the second owner has a not an "Original" book ..and made it / home made .. thx Ton

You are right! The differences you mention can happen when the book is not issued to the car. A lot of first owners sold the car without the book and...

but this car is Black / crema , nothing "so" special ..and on top , 2 same exact car colors , 2 different pictures..??

Hi Benoit, The picture with the car in transport cover is used for rare color combinations (e.g red/crema) and individual colors

hi all quick question - i have visited 2 cars , same year , same color - Black / crema - black - both had their books BUT looking at them i have...

Appreciate it. Pat knows the car and is going to take a look for me. Thanks again. Henry

This one sold at surprisingly low price - Did anyone here get it? https://www.ebay.com/itm/393096497777

I remember many speaking of Pat at Classic in Plano as being a great friend of the Z8 community, not sure if he's still there or has the technical...

That's an awesome price, they've been going for up to $2500!!

$900 seems to be a good price. Hopefully someone here got it.

My mechanic was a master technician for bmw and has a physical copy of the Z8 workshop manual. I’ll ask him to bring it to the shop and see if...

....... ....So, does anyone actually know where this resistor resides and the actual replacement procedure? Seems it vastly differs on the many BMW...

I wonder what role he plays?

Good luck, we have the images here that I can get printed for you, but you will have to find or exchange the crema leather.

As several car-guys have reportedly learned over time, use care and, as always, “buyer beware” with some certain dealers! Do your homework. I’ve...

Thanks, @boomster. I bid on it. If I get it, will have to do until a black over crema shows up at some point.

Nice eagle eye find. Hopefully someone here who needs it gets it.

For anyone seeking a book, this one popped up on EBAY today. ...

Same here. In hindsight we can say that we enjoyed a very special attention from BMW that helped the club to organize these phantastic events like...

Hi Ian, very glad to see some familiar names here! I sold my companies a couple of years ago, so I don't travel to the bay area anymore. Very...

I always liked these wheels because they are so close to the original design. The manufacturer is Racing Dynamics, and the rims are still available...

+1 ​They look great

Dieter! So glad to “See” you! Glad you are doing well and still z8ing. I sold mine a couple years ago to buy a commercial property. In the fullness...

Happy New Year Dieter!! I still remember my brief drive in your 500hp super-tuned Z8, what a fabulous engine! So grateful for the amazing...

The symptoms you describe sound very much like a failing Final Stage Resistor, often referred to as a "hedge hog" due to its spikey appearance. ...

Dieter, those wheels look great! Would you mind sharing the setup you’re running? Suspension, tire sizes, offsets and size of the wheel? I was going...

We’re pretty sure it’s the resistor for the fan. Very common issue on other models as well. The highest setting for the fan works because it’s a...
