The BMW Z8 is an extremely rare car, which has contributed to a significant increase in its value in recent years. While its rarity is part of its appeal, it is also a result of the unique and advanced engineering that went into building the car. One of the most unique traits of the BMW Z8 is its classic design, which was heavily influenced by the iconic BMW 507. The car features a low-slung body, long hood, and short rear deck, giving it a sleek, elegant look. Additionally, the BMW Z8 is built entirely from aluminum, making it one of the few all-aluminum cars ever produced. That is why this is considered a timeless design - it seems as if the car teleported to the past, present and future and gathered bits and pieces from every era.

To protect this valuable investment and preserve its beauty, many owners opt to apply paint protection film and ceramic coatings to their vehicles like this owner did. We applied paint protection film and a layer of ceramic coating on top to protect this low-mileage Z8 for years to come. Paint Protection Film is a clear, durable film that is applied to the exterior of the car to protect it from scratches, chips, and other damage. Ceramic Coatings are liquid polymers that are applied to the paint protection film to enhance its protective properties and provide a high level of gloss and depth to the car's paint. Paint protection film is applied like a big wet sticker, similar to tint but much more complex. Ceramic coating is also sensitive to install, thankfully First Class Autosport has professionals in their respective.

The Z8 is full of weird quirks and features like Doug Demuro likes to say. It's known for its its single-piece aluminum dashboard that runs the entire length of the car. The dashboard is also fitted with a "high-tech" navigation system that was ahead of its time. Additionally, the BMW Z8's advanced suspension system, which utilizes aluminum wishbones and struts, allows for exceptional handling and a smooth ride. The fact that this is a Manual V8 Grand Tourer is a quirk in itself.

The BMW Z8 is not just a beautiful car, but it is also an important part of BMW's history. The car was created as a tribute to the BMW 507, which was one of the most iconic cars ever produced by the German automaker. By building the BMW Z8, BMW was able to pay homage to its past while also showcasing its advanced engineering capabilities and commitment to quality.

In addition to its beauty and rarity, the BMW Z8 is also a high-performance car. It is equipped with a 4.9-liter V8 engine that produces 400 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. This engine is paired with a six-speed manual transmission, which allows for exceptional

control and precision.
