Californication

[Nhopkins1394]

Did anybody notice the Z3 that Charlie Runkle has been driving?
It has showed up in each episode so far.
What color is that?
Light blue?
Sky blue?
Very cool car.
I think it's the same color as the one in "Goldeneye".
Wonder if BMW paid any "product placement" money. (Don't know why they would.)
Maybe the director/producer is a fan!

Prob not product placement. Charlie previously sold BMWs I recall.

I "think" that's Estoril Blue, but was hard to tell on my TV.

If it's the same color is the one in goldeneye, I am pretty sure it's atlanta blue. The goldeneye z3 was definitely not estoril.

EDIT: check this page on the goldeneye z3 http://users.belgacom.net/bmw_z3/bmw_z3_history.htm

don't really place any special value on this, it's no different than any other neiman marcus limited edition cars, ie camaro vert, etc. then again, i'm no car collector so have no idea if there's a good resale value for these. i'd much rather have a 02 z3 m coupe!

as per wiki...
