As I discovered a few years ago, BMW no longer sells painted interior parts. So if you have Topaz interior parts, you get primed black parts that have to be painted. All such parts come in just one color...primed Black. They clearly got tired of holding stock of these parts in all the various interior colors. For me this meant getting painted the seat side trims, seat backs, center console `tray' piece. My seat side trim pieces were cracked, the others just very scratched up.
@ZR1ZR1ZR1 For me Stratus + Red is not a good combo. Stratus + Crema would be my preference, but I'm very happy with my Red/Crema 2001 I bought here. I should also point out that I have a silver with burgundy interior, but the Z8 bright red interior isn't my style. Colors and particularly color combinations is such a personal thing.
@spyderman2 "The car is said to have remained with the original owner until the current owner’s 2005 purchase, and they have added approximately 25k of the 27k miles."
I think general consensus would show that in terms of Z8 exterior color desirability it would be Topaz Blue by a wide margin, followed by either Red or Stratus Grey, then Black and then Silver.
