I had my A/C "Pusher Fan" replaced in 2017 at a cost $514 totaling $1,507 with labor (7 hours), misc. parts and freon. Looking at the parts for Evaporator I came up with this:

Andrew - time to get back?

There was a recall (Campaign 20E-A01) that I received notification for our X3 in November and that was performed on the car in December. However, it did not apply to the Z8 or at least to my 2002 as...

Here are few on sale right now with more miles than we typically see especially on BaT. I don’t think I have seen prices like this (especially the two top ones) for a while. Quite surprised...

And another 12K mile one just popped up just minutes after that one sold…

Congratulations and welcome to the board !!!

Well bought!!! I was watching the auction "live" and you really did well! hopefully you will enjoy the car and drive it as it is such a treat and...

The Z3 window protector works perfectly without any modifications. I have one of each and yes, the straps on the Z8 one are just a little longer.

What or where is binnacle ?

How about ceramic coating? Do you think that might do the trick?

Last 24 BaT auction results. Alpinas get a great premium!

Congratulations on your purchase and welcome here! Let’s get some details and pictures!!!

I am absolutely amazed that the seller would not have done a complete detail and full paint correction (and ceramic) before putting the car on BaT. It really looks “rough” when most likely $4-5K ...

Can you just clarify if it is “BMW” or “Z8”.

Thanks!

Larry - are the both Logoed? I received a car cover when I bought my then CPO car but it does not have Z8 logo and if I recall correctly, neither does the bag (but not sure).

I recall reading on the Rennlist about Antigravity (brand) Lithium batteries that some Porsche enthusiasts have bought or are considering to buy. I believe one negative is their performance level...

Congratulations! Now put some miles on that baby!

Lanny - yes they did. Here is mine - a little tattered owner’s manual… mine was CPO when I got it in 2005.

Welcome - you will LOVE it! Hope it has some miles on it so you don’t have to worry to drive it.

This what I have. Bought off eBay, but I believe the same or identical as original the equipment one. Mine is CDMA. I believe some were CDMA even though most of them were TDMA. The item in the...

Ron- great question! A couple of years ago I purchased a complete “brand new” CDMA model with box etc. off eBay to have as part of my 2002 Z8 accessories. I later saw that TDMA models might have been...

That was a great auction to watch! Nice price at the end and you did a phenomenal job communicating and being transparent! Congratulations!

Gregg - saw the listing. Looking good !!! GLWA - I am sure it will bring top dollar as it should! I’ll be watching every comment… have a great rest of the weekend!

I have an idea! Nobody in the world would be better to shoot those photos than Andrew!!!

The photography of the cars on BaT is absolutely critical as every reflection and shadow is being questioned in addition of wanting to show the car “in the best light”. The $350 sounds incredibly...

@BigGar - if you do end up listing with BaT, it would be great if it would possible for you star a new thread on the process providing periodic updates on the journey of getting actually listed.

Mine is working now. It sometimes goes on the fritz and once I wiggle it a few times it starts working again. Keeping my fingers crossed…. :).

The person on BaT is Alec Cartio do not know him or much about him). He has listed over 70 vehicles on BaT including other Z8(s). Most if not all very high caliber and relatively rare. Hopefully his...

Solid price! +5K for fee

Ron - do you does someone here know how to photoshop extremely well) this? Andrew?

I like Sonax foaming spray for light duty "every day" cleaning. Works great and does not leave any residue. Available form Amazon or their site.

Steve- their complete top is also very reasonably priced (as is the headliner). Here is another company (GAHH) that makes tops for the Z8 that apparently are very good as well. I believe someone...

It sold for $175,000 which must have been due to the modification and the cosmetic issues that had not been addressed. Low for a Black/Crema with 30K miles.

Black/Crema Z8 on sale now on BaT https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2002-bmw-z8-42/ has an interesting radio installation with a major modification to the center console. Personally I do not care for...

L.V. - I believe Reliable is the Gold Standard. Not cheap but used a lot by high end owners.

Does not look like it: https://carsandbids.com/auctions/9Wk0pLBw/2002-bmw-z8

Maybe you could get all three numbers and post here. My car is 61486 and the book I have is 60206. Would love to get a match!

Sounds like a great car! I would think that a set of high performance summer tires would be better, but most likely it really does not make much difference as long as they are new. I am an avid BaT...

Dental floss?

I just confirmed that the Roundel of the Z8 is attached with adhesive only.
