it's ugly for one, and two, so much work needed to get the kit to fit...

not worth it

mPlasticDesign · 06-23-2008, 05:59 PM

interesting...

At least it starts with a BMW, as opposed to those Fiero/Ferrari abominations.

03BeastCharmer · 06-23-2008, 07:01 PM

So you start with a metal bodied car.., and end up with a fiberglass car, and it looks like the trunk isn't functional.

killjohnnyforan · 06-23-2008, 07:35 PM

so you remove the rear clip to lower the top?

ianbiz · 06-23-2008, 08:12 PM

How about we all pitch in and buy my Z4 for Bimmerpost and then buy that kit!

Reminds me way back when the my buddy's older brother was the first one around to get the Fiero! I use to tease him that it's project name was Chevy Fiasco and that it was a joint venture between GM and Tupperware

What a POS that thing was! No wonder GM was in such big trouble

I remember seeing one broken in two on the 40 in Montreal!

Depends on why "those" people wanted a Z8. If you want a Z8 for the driving experience, this is obviously not going to work. If you want other people to see you in a Z8, perhaps....

goldguilexx · 06-25-2008, 12:18 AM

yeah, good point, but i figure the people interested in this kit wan to be seen in a z8 than enjoy the experience of a true z8 ride. oddly enough ive been in one and while the power is sick, its way too outdated looking for me

ATX750i · 06-25-2008, 06:56 PM

Looks like a cross between the Z4 and a Jaguar XJ, IMO

SDTopless · 06-25-2008, 07:31 PM

the video says "only you can tell the difference..."

they forgot to put in "and many other car enthusiasts"
