Here's an assortment of pics of my ride. Some of these were taken last fall, some were taken last week.
I've enjoyed restoring this car back to pristine condition. All that is left are some cosmetic mods that I'd like to do, such as a CSi bodykit and springs (which are sitting in my garage).
I've owned quite a few cars over the years; and certainly quite a few BMWs--nothing brings me smiles like my 8. I know that you can understand what I'm referring to.
Cheers
Truly stunning Koizumi but less the night rider image
Very, very nice Koizumi - black really is the only colour for an 8 (I'm sure absolutely everyone here will agree with me...)
Your car looks excellent. Where did you get the trunk lip spoiler? I've seen these advertised on the 'bay but I'm not sure about the quality or the fitting - are you happy with yours?
Cheers,
Jason
Koizumi as Jason already said black is the best colour for the 8 
She looks beautiful, I can't wait to fit my CSI lit in a couple of weeks and new sunroof etc. Then apply the new purchased wax as recommended by TT 
I wish I lived in California, rather than here...
Car looks great.
Have one question, how much tint is that on youre side windows?
I'm planning to tint mine but I dont want to go to dark and get unnecessary attention from the 'law inforcement agency'
Yours look just perfect for my liking.
I plan to go all black on my car, the siden and rear windows, the bumper lights like yours, and a light tint on the tail lights too.
And Tony, I wish I was home driving my 8, rather than being here
That is beautiful!
Great pics... does your camera automatically produce those deep blacks? I can't get that on my pics.
I would have to agree, black is the way to go when it comes to the 8

And yes, California is wonderful as seen in my one post:

Sorry to "change" topics but... what steering wheel model is that? I think that's the best steering wheel for the 8. I want to install that for mine.
Lastly, can you post pics of you amps, sub and radio? My next project is an audio system.
You could have cleaned it befroe taking the pics!
Ouch!
All my pictures were taken right after a cleaning. I guess I need to invest in the Zaino system

The deep black is due to the Zaino system. The paint, after a full Zaino job, is better than new. The polymer crosslinking structure of Zaino makes the shine a mile deep. The lens I used also helps with saturation and contrast (Canon 24-70 f/2.8 L).
The steering wheel is an M-Technic II with airbag. A perfect fit and highly recommended!
I'll post a pic of the CD43/DICE and JL amp/woofer combo when I get around to either reshooting them or finding old pics somewhere on one of these damn drives 
Only joking Cel!
Sad British humour....with a 'u' by the way!

And a bit of help from Photoshop , a great looking car tho. Just one thing letting it down is the panel that the licence plate attaches to, maybe a new one or some paint, would just finish it off nicely 
.
The images were actually hardly manipulated, if you could believe it. The paint really is that intense looking. The polymer-based Zaino makes the paint shine like there's no tomorrow. After many years of researching, nothing works better in my opinion. It makes sense as to why many show cars, dealerships & car clubs use this system. Try it & you will agree
I appreciate the nice comments. There's nothing like an 8--all of you agree with me on that one.
Cheers
PS. I can't tell you how many times I've heard people yell "Wutup, Kitt!" whilst driving with my windows down!
Sorry, didnt mean to imply they were manipulated with, just alittle tweek with the contrast maybe.You can see the paint and condition is exceptional.

No harm, no foul sandwich. I knew it was a joke.
I would have to agree w/ Hallworth regarding the license frame. For me, the white license plate of California is so bright that I had to buy a black frame with a smoke colored plastic cover to blend it in with the rest of the car.
Question... say you have applied the Zaino and have the car looking amazing. What can you use to dust off the car day to day? California is so dusty that driving the car just one day will not only accumulate bugs and such, but a layer of dust will blanket the entire car.
I would think that the 'original ' Cal Duster could be the most useless bit of kit ever needed in the UK. If there was a portable car umbrella perhaps that might be more useful.
mind you it is sunny today..I bet its reached 10degrees C!
Koizumi,
Very cool. I actually do have the California Car Duster! I wanted to see if there may have been something better. I agree, it does work like a charm and I too dust the car every morning.
However, after a while, no matter how much dust removing I do, I can tell that there is just too much of a dirty film on the car that dusting can't remove, and that's when it's time to give the car a wash.
