Zaino, Anthracite, and Aluminum Pedals on Jet Black
It was a busy weekend. I installed the Aluminum Pedals. it was exactly as easy as the DIY instruction on this forum.
I also did the whole Zaino thing. Z5 Pro - then Z2 Pro then Z6 Gloss enhancer Clear Spray and then ZS Clear Seal. It is easy to put on and take off. The hard part is letting it thouroughly dry between applications. What a look! What a finish! On Jet Black - it's like looking at a black mirror! Also -a daylight picture of Antracite - gives a more realistic idea than a flash photo. Enjoy!

Thanks! I used clay on the trunk lid, some minor deposits from a tree. The dealer had prepped it pretty good a month ago.

End to end - you should allow for 6 hours. You can even let the Z5 or Z2 dry overnight. It is not like other waxes that will become hard to take off. Do the whole car then let it dry properly. Actual application and buffing time is about 90 minutes (not including clay time). Not hard to do at all. It is amazing stuff. So easy to work with. And when you do it in the sun, you can see really well as you work. Of course, maybe not in late June or July! Jet black gets warm to touch in the sun.

These are all standard with the ZSP option in Canada, along with the 261M Sport wheels, the M Sport door sills and heated seats. However, our base price is $41,700 plus $1,600 for the Sport Package option. The Sun Roof is a $2,000 option up here. My other car has a sun roof.

Its not fair how you Canadians get the black headliners and the better looking sport wheels, plus you guys have sunroof delete. American's always get jipped when it comes to cars and what not.

I'd rather pay what you US guys are paying for their 135...I guess the grass is always greener on the other side.:iono: EDIT: Sorry about the thread jacking, but that's one sweet ride! Nice job on the Zaino. |

Lookin great. Did you have to show your black headliner. I am going to find a custom shop and see how much it would cost to get a black headliner installed.
Or order one from BMW Canada. |
