In Reply to: Euro Z8 Questions? - Need advice quickly posted by Jeremy Young on October 01, 2000 at 22:11:10:
I am about ready to make payment on a Euro Z8 (Silver/Black) that will be here in 2 weeks (Seattle) and through conversion by the first of December. I have a few questions that I was wondering if you could help me on.
1) Does BMW North America accept the warranty on Euro cars?
No, the warranty is voided when modifications are made to the car.
2) I believe that the back bumper is different on the Euro cars as they are made for the Euro standard license plate? Is this correct? If so, what would be the cost to replace the bumper with a US spec?
Bumper is different and also contains the three antenna!!
3) How much will the resale value of this car be affected because of the "grey market" status.
Worth about 50% of Standard and Dealers will not want to touch them. When they do, they are exported out of the USA.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. You can also email me at jeremy@young.org. My 360 Modena Spyder allocation will be here in 2002 but I thought this car would be a lot of fun until that time arrives.
Fun Yes!!!, Good Buy - NO
