      I still think that the Volvo that Roger Moore drove pre-Bond as The Saint has a certain cachet that no Bond car has had. Probably nobody else thinks so.

    I had the E39 M5 when these Z8's came out. They didn't sell well and started hitting the used market for around $75k. My M5 was worth around $45k at the same time so wife didn't think another $30k for same engine, same drivetrain, and two less seats made sense. She's an ex wife now.

      I worked at the dealership when the Z8's came out and we presold everyone we got at sticker price. We were one of the only dealerships in the South to sell them at list. None of them were bought locally and after they were PDI'd a truck took them to Florida. Sticker was around $127k. The real Z8 owners diss them but I like the Alpina Z8 a lot more with the regular V8 and automatic. It reminded me a lot of my old C2 Corvette with 454. Forgot to mention that I was the PDI (Predelivery Inspection) guy at the dealership so drove everything that came through the doors. Glad Hoovie is getting rid of those awful chrome wheels. I still have a set of the Alpina wheel covers that were fitted to the cars for transport protection. They were attached to the wheels with tie wraps.

    With respect, your videos are too good and well-regarded for you to need to post misleading thumbnails, such as saying it broke on the 500 mile drive home. The couple of things you noted - TPMS warning light, bad trunk struts, and improperly functioning gas cap release - don’t rise to the level of severity inferred by your thumbnail, which makes it sound like you were marooned on the side of the road.
    You make great videos and don’t need to start sounding like Scotty Kilmer to attract viewers.
    That aside, congrats on purchasing such a landmark BMW. It looks great, and perhaps it’s one even the Wizard won’t mind servicing, no disrespect to the Ninja intended.
    We enjoyed your work on the Barrett-Jackson auction. You added much needed humor to the event and significantly enhanced the information provided to the viewers. You obviously possess a vast depth of knowledge on exotic vehicles. We hope you will continue appearing on the B-J auction telecasts and look forward to the release of the second season of car issues.

    The first Bond movie, Dr. No, came out in 1962, *_three_* years before the Astrodome opened. In the movie, which was a low-budget epic, 007 drove a Sunbeam Alpine! Since it was filmed in Jamaica, a lot of mundane British cars also appeared such as the Vauxhall Velox, Ford Consul, Ford Anglia and Standard Ensign, all of these genuine Hoopties. IMHO, the Z8 is one of the most beautiful BMW's ever, along with the 1971-75 3.0CS and, of course, the 507. Great purchase Hoovie!

    I really miss the roots of these channel, it used to be fun and realistic average joe cars. Now it started to get a bit snobbish. Don’t forget your origins Tyler. We missed u

    My Mother wanted to buy one of these back in the day, and I was always encouraging the idea, but she never bit… I’m going to revisit this. She can totally afford it, and I can maintain it, as I’ve managed several V8 BMW’s from this era. She’s 76, and my senior discount is VERY appealing!

    I had a Z8 in the past. I had a collection of nice cars at the time. The others paled into insignificance as soon as I bought it. Not the fastest or best handling car out there, but it wasn't supposed to be. This car is about occasion. The car was beautiful inside and out. No wonder they fetch 200k plus these days. I miss it.
