Great job and great car. Buddy back at college had a black Z8. Drove awsome, and those compaining about the guage layout, they are at a slight angle so when your driving you can still see them fine. When the car was designed it was to be a throwback and sorta nostalgic which is why they did that. And the S62 V8 from the E39 M5 ripped in that car being lighter then the M5 sedan.
Only one issue, he had it recalled for a chassis defect, theirs a flaw in the chassis that is prone to fatigue and bending if a large bump, pothole etc is hit. Some guys had their chassis slightly bend, but enough to throw the car outta wack.

Great work on that rare Bimmer! Love the color. I've done a few Z4's and the interiors are a pita because they are small and cramped. One of the best ways for me is to do a lot of interior detailing while the car is on the lift at the shop....sure saves the knees and back!

The gauge setup might be ok for a sunday drive around the hood Boca Boy. I certainly would not want to take the car on a track Mr. Trackman.
Sorry to get off topic Ed, I just like to mess with Surfer. Somebody needs to keep him in line.

Even the crappy looking plastic interior on a Ford GT has the most important gauges in front of the driver. It was also the throw back to the original and the interior really sucks. Other then the interior, truck tires and the back bumper it's a pretty nice car. I have driven a couple different Ford GT's and I was not that impressed.
