What do you think would have made for a great Bond car in the 90's and 2000's? Search auto tempest and post the link in the comments below! www.autotempest.com/?
if it was me i would say a db7. but Peirce Brosnan will always be the best Bond.
I still think that the Volvo that Roger Moore drove pre-Bond as The Saint has a certain cachet that no Bond car has had. Probably nobody else thinks so.
Are you in Houston now

Tyler is ALMOST in character.... but since he only buys hoopties, I think we'll call him James Bondo.
Underrated comment😂
@@boaterslisttv Thanks :D
Lol
I'm sitting in my office and i started laughing so loud my employees thought something happened. You've made my day good sir.
Stolen from Sam Cracs video.
Hoovie looking more like a Mormon missionary than James Bond. Good luck on finding the rest of the team.
🤣
The CIA loves Mormons because so many are bilingual. The church should take in Hoovie. They love celebs🙃
an AutoTempest missionary to be exact
@@veganpotterthevegan also because they rarely have criminal records/ past drug usage.😂
@@BradTLee Their problem is when they need to sleep with women at work and can't last 5 seconds🙃
Hoovie's definition of "making it home successfully" is getting within the free towing range! Just keep being you, Tyler.... 😁
Same though. Just drove an S12 with a leaking radiator and broken alternator 75 miles to get to a car meet 97 miles from home. AAA took it the rest of the way for free. 😌

If you’re gonna go full on Bond for this car, the only way to say it is “the zed eight”
I had the E39 M5 when these Z8's came out. They didn't sell well and started hitting the used market for around $75k. My M5 was worth around $45k at the same time so wife didn't think another $30k for same engine, same drivetrain, and two less seats made sense. She's an ex wife now.
So you got the Z8 then?
I worked at the dealership when the Z8's came out and we presold everyone we got at sticker price. We were one of the only dealerships in the South to sell them at list. None of them were bought locally and after they were PDI'd a truck took them to Florida. Sticker was around $127k. The real Z8 owners diss them but I like the Alpina Z8 a lot more with the regular V8 and automatic. It reminded me a lot of my old C2 Corvette with 454. Forgot to mention that I was the PDI (Predelivery Inspection) guy at the dealership so drove everything that came through the doors. Glad Hoovie is getting rid of those awful chrome wheels. I still have a set of the Alpina wheel covers that were fitted to the cars for transport protection. They were attached to the wheels with tie wraps.
@@pclayton5063 Bought mine from Brahman in Palm Beach. They did allow me to get the M5 for msrp but it took a bit of persuasion.
breath the free air my friend^^
The looks alone on the Z8 is beyond!!! and it's a Bond car, what more does a man need? I tell you NOTHING!
1 seat for you and 1 seat for the dog, the wife stays home. Simple as that, no discussion needed.
Good choice.
LMAO, you need gas but the fuel door is broken, so you have to open the trunk but the struts are broken so you have to hold the trunk while working the fuel door. Classic Hoovie xD

“Broke on the trip home” equals the tire pressure monitoring system performing its function flawlessly.
Click bait
I thought the same thing hahaha
Clickbait!!
Yeah I feel kind of betrayed. Luckily I skipped to the end and didn't waste my time watching the whole thing.
Right? I.kept watching thinking "where's the breakdown?"
With respect, your videos are too good and well-regarded for you to need to post misleading thumbnails, such as saying it broke on the 500 mile drive home. The couple of things you noted - TPMS warning light, bad trunk struts, and improperly functioning gas cap release - don’t rise to the level of severity inferred by your thumbnail, which makes it sound like you were marooned on the side of the road.
You make great videos and don’t need to start sounding like Scotty Kilmer to attract viewers.
That aside, congrats on purchasing such a landmark BMW. It looks great, and perhaps it’s one even the Wizard won’t mind servicing, no disrespect to the Ninja intended.
We enjoyed your work on the Barrett-Jackson auction. You added much needed humor to the event and significantly enhanced the information provided to the viewers. You obviously possess a vast depth of knowledge on exotic vehicles. We hope you will continue appearing on the B-J auction telecasts and look forward to the release of the second season of car issues. Your Dino costume in the Jurassic keep was a major hit with the young ones in our family!
“one more fuel trip and we will be within the 100 mile AAA tow range” that shit had me
Wasn’t it from “The world is not enough”? He had the 750 in tomorrow never dies
Correct ..... was just about to say
Been a lifelong James Bond fan since my dad has also always been a lifelong fan and we used to watch all the movies together. Sometimes I also get the names of the movies mixed up lol.
Yes - I was hinting at the Z8's fate in the movie in my reaction reply (which my replied reaction managed to referance all four Pierce Brosnan 007 movies, and managed to do that in order). :-)
The film used rebodied Ford mustangs since the BMW didn't have any spare pre production z8's to spare
H0w are y0u? Y0u d0n’t want t0 look at me and meet me))
It wasn’t “tomorrow never dies” that was a 750. The z was in “the world is not enough “
I was about to say that. Glad someone else caught that.
Ironically, the 750i featured massively within Tomorrow Never Dies, got tonnes of screen time. Reckon they got their money’s worth in product placement there.
@@headwerkn Didnt they also have the BMW motorbike used when they were driving through Chinatown?
@@y0usef Correct.
@@y0usef that’s right, the R1200C probably got even more screen time. And better stunts.
Seeing the Z8’s design makes me sad because it looks so beautiful how old beemers used to be. Nowadays all you see is big nostrils or bucktooth grilles.
Refinement is lost. BMW's are now ugly chromed boxes for people with a lust for a flashy lifestyle.

Say it again to the German engineers in the back!😜
I've really enjoyed the little "dream BMW lineup" series so far - this one is really cool! Excited to see more about it.
I think the mini series are a good idea - getting a small collection of cars on a certain theme. I'd be excited to see it again in future
It wasn’t Tomorrow Never Dies, it was The World is not Enough
More like The Weeeezard Is Not Enough
Yes! I was thinking this car was ahead a few years
It was an honest mistake,no biggie
It wasn't The World is not Enough, it was TWINE
Tomorrow is not Enough
The special effects at the end were so good, I couldn't even tell it was edited.......🤪
lol
I like the fact you actually drive your vehicles home like a normal person instead of transporting them like other successful people please don’t ever stop that Tyler!
LOVE your sense of humor, and most especially, about BMWs and their lack of reliability (I've been there with several of them). I am thoroughly jealous of your car collection, but most especially this Z8. I've absolutely loved these since they came out, but doubt I will ever be able to afford one. Thanks for letting me live vicariously through your experience.
That's a keeper Tyler, you need to keep that permanently!
try this with a fisker karma will be dead within the first 15 mins after ownership
I'm not a BMW person in the least but it's a beautiful car and a nice companion to his throwback styled Mercedes.
The Ninja will be able to pay his mortgage for most of this year just from Hoovie's BMW Dream team :)
It is probably more like he will be able to pay it off and buy an island.
He's way past passing his mortgage thanks to Hoovie. Wizard is shopping for islands at this point.
H0w are y0u? Y0u d0n’t want t0 look at me and meet me))
BOTH mortgages !
I am so glad you decided to get this line-up and the Z8, it is such an amazing and underappreciated car.
Couldn't be happier for you Hoovie! Congratulations on the purchase. Can't wait to see the dream team assembled
Can't believe you didn't use the Houston we have a problem line 😂😂😂
He's saving that for Apollo 911's next track day. 😂😂😂

This should be a Keeper. Also, congratulations on wearing a coat and tie. You looked so much more professional and "Bond" like!!!
Great video Tyler. Thanks . Buying any non warranty BMW takes great courage and you are truly "fearless".
This is a proper investment. Hoovie has been finding good cars lately
How much he paid?
He never said but these are going over msrp so I'd guess Round 100k?
@@schmitty69 They go for 200k+. Even if this is not a perfect example, I would say around 130-140k for the absolute minimum.
@@Asdasty I was curious as well and looked through some recent sales and yes if he paid under $130k he stole the car in the current market since most of them go for close to over $200k right now.

As a Houston area resident, I shuddered when you said "Hopefully I don't hit a pothole..." I hope you didn't damage the shock tower just getting out of Houston.
When the GPS told him to get on 288, I thought that would be the end of it right there.
Haha that was my thought too. I was like, man hes not going to make it home. 🤣
Lol he was downtown too I was like 😬😬
Luckily he didn’t have to go down west bellfort
lmao
Just watched the opening.....genius. Tyler, you are my spirit animal.
3 of the top 10 cars that I have had the pleasure of owning and driving quite a lot:
1 Silver Alpina Z8, 1 Black Z8 and a Black 850 CSI... all incredible drivers. Smooth, fast and stunning cars.
CHP pulled me over in the Silver Z8 in San Ramon California--I was running over 130 @ midnight--they didn't know what the car was--after a 15 minute tutorial, I was released to go to BlackHawk and count my blessings..
Nice to see this video--brings back great memories.
I'd watch a new 007 series with Hoovie as Bond, Wizard as Q, Ed as M and Freddie as the villian. P.S. You're free to take this idea for a future Car Trek, no royalties required.
"James Bond: The boarding school years".
I dunno, Ed gives off more villain vibes.
@Markus Promo 😂😂🤣🤣
@@samiraperi467 yes he does and can imagine an evil laugh too
put ed as the villan , he seems like a POS so it will suit him
Favorite part of the video is when “home is within AAA tow range of 100 miles”. Classic Hoovie, and I love it 🙏🏼
Funny how AAA is different in each state. AAA Premium/Gold (whatever they call it) offers a 200 mile tow in Texas. As I own 3 Fiats I have definitely made sure to have that top plan.
@@AlvinBrinson I agree, I lived in Colorado and it was 75 miles there. Your ownership of Fiats definitely made me chuckle. Good luck out there brother
Saw one being driven yesterday in Munich. I love it so much. Timeless! congrats hoovie
Greatest car youtube channel. Your videos are so mych fun and unique. And no one else is doing what you do. Love it. Keep up this awsome work
It's getting harder and harder for me to believe that Tyler "can't afford" anything he wants.
That's been like that for a while. I seriously doubt his family had to get by on foodstamps, even before the advent of the internet or YT... ;)
He was given a convertible Mercedes for his first car, and was given a nearly new BMW X5 (or X3 can't remember which) for simply finishing school.
He's no working class Joe, and never has been, make no mistake about that.
He owns fast food franchises. Freddie’s and another one I can’t remember.
lmao yea I dont see 1.3M subs supporting that house and all those cars on its own
He was clearly born rich. No hate intended, good for him. Being poor sucks big time.
You’re a brave man standing in the Astro dome parking lot alone with that nice car.
All those roaming gangs of future medical students.
The car launch some missiles Iguess
It's all good right now. Ever since Mayor Turner asked criminals to "chill" during the pandemic, Houston has emerged into a modern-day Athens: nothing but brilliant minds everywhere. Lol.
…..with a gun.
Shit….withOUT a gun.
I love cars. I’ve never been bitterly jealous of any car you’ve bought, until now. The Z8 has been my dream car since that Bond movie. I got a 1/10 scale model of it in 2002, and has been displayed in my various rooms over the years. Never forgotten. One of the most beautiful modern cars ever produced - but having experienced enough 90’s-2000’s BMWs, I think I will cross it off my bucket list.
Congratulations!!!! Enjoy the moment
You need to do a side by side with Tavarish! That would be an epic episode to see which bond car is better. Better performance, better equipped to handle 007 modifications, and overall quality. Please do it!!!!
The Aston would destroy that BMW.
Not sure about performance, but the z8 exudes the James Bond energy. The DBS is a gentleman’s car but not as classy as this
@@Salvaba two seater vs technically 4 seater. Hoovie wiiiins!!!!
@@TheDudeRc their performance is about the same
SHHHHH! you're spoiling the next Car Trek
Texas seems like a gold mine for old BMWs. The last 3 additions to my collection have all been from TX. And they’ve all been driven back to ATL without any (major) issues. Congrats good sir!!!
Mr. Hoovie, this is a real legend. I am happy you got it and you ar?a real fan to own it. Love the styling, love the powertrain. This will only go up and the experience is as pure BMW as you can get. Love it! Good Luck.
Next level. Best vid yet Tyler!
The Z8 is a timeless classic. With some slight modernisations it would look like something that was released today.
Time to saw it in half
thank you Ed, very cool!
That would make it fit into the criteria of “Ed bolian special”. Auto tempest needs a search filter like that haha
@@Salvaba I believe it should be either the Ed spec or salvage title cars
Call Phil Swift
He already did though
Driving my Jeep Wrangler, top off, through the keys of Florida. I saw my first Z8. What a sweet ride!
Dudeeeeee this is amazing!! So happy for you! This car looked so awesome when I was kid, just so cool!
Wow bought a Z8. Man is officially living an enthusiasts dream.
Sorry Hoovie but the 750i (actually a 740 badged up as a 750) was in 'Tomorrow never dies.'
The Z8 was in 'The world's not enough'
That's one of my favorite Bond cars. Remote piloting, machine guns, missle launcher, cable cutter, tire spike launcher, armored glass, and the greatest security system ever
@@AdamG1983 Yes the 750iL is the best Brosnan car, and my favorite BMW. She's a beast.
Imma need a source for the Bond 750iL being an 740. Especially since BMW Classic Group didn't mention it ;)
@@TBendez the car used for driving scenes was a 40il disguised as a 50il. They did the same in the First Transporter movie (a 735 disguised as a 50)
@@comandernejo Again, source. They present that very car as an 750 in the video from BMW Group Classic video here on UA-cam.
You are however wrong about the Transporter one, and why you'd take lines out of the movie as facts is beyond me. On the DVD extras they specifically speak about it being a one-off car, a 750 manual, built for a BMW exec and that Statham was the one driving it. The movie dialogue states 735 but that doesn't really matter.
We love you Mr!. I wish I had the money I would buy you all the hoopty cars you ever wanted and fund the repairs for you. Your channel has entertained me for years ... u a good sole and deserve everything you have and more.. peace and love from across the pond durham England 🇬🇧🙏. You take care out there..
Way to go!!! Love the end! Well done!
Congrats, Tyler. This is an Iconic design, from all angles. I instantly liked the Z8 when it debuted. I also knew it would be a timeless classic. This is one to hold on to. You got the very best color, too.
I’m kind of disappointed that Hoovie would use a clickbait title.
A sign of desperation. His content has sucked for the last couple of months.

@@sv_cheats1970 Agreed.
Since when is tripping a low tire pressure sensor "breaking down"?
I always thought of the Z8 as the Clown Shoe's sophisticated, city dweller cousin....
"But it broke on the way home." That is what makes it such a pure BMW, authentic owner experience!
The highest tech in BMWs is the hidden idiot magnet.
DAMN, Hoovie looking sharp in that suit!
If I could have any car no questions asked, money isn't an object, the Z8 makes the list.
I glad you buy these killer crazy cars . it really makes a great channel .
The Lotus is my favorite Bond car. The Aston is a very close second.
Congratulations, I expected this to be the last car of the group. They aren't hard to find, but prices have gone crazy. I hope you are willing to talk $$ with us. I remember when I saw my first one on the street after they came out, it is just a beautiful car and the design has held up really well.
H0w are y0u? Y0u d0n’t want t0 look at me and meet me))

Great video from Hoovie.
Love this Bimmer! Well done my man!
No Mr. Hoovie. I expect you to break down
Lol
Oh dear.....truly beautiful car. My poor Scottish heart weeps for such joys of magnificent German performance and a wee bit of sun.
My Mother wanted to buy one of these back in the day, and I was always encouraging the idea, but she never bit… I’m going to revisit this. She can totally afford it, and I can maintain it, as I’ve managed several V8 BMW’s from this era. She’s 76, and my senior discount is VERY appealing!
Excellent video Tyler!
No hissing. The appliance of science…. Pleased and slightly amazed you managed to get one.
The Z8 was in James Bond Agent Under Fire on the PS2 as well, you drove it in the third mission i believe and could use all the weapons and stuff on it.
Totally forgot about this game! I remember this mission on the PS2 now... thanks for the memory recall!
I thought this would be the last one you'd aquire. I'm thoroughly impressed. Beautiful car
At a time they depreciated to very low levels. I had a chance to buy a 2002 Z8 hooptie (many many issues) with an accompanying 2001 parts car that had been flipped over and wrecked for $32,000. I passed it up at the time due to other financial obligations. It's one of the few automotive regrets I have at this point.
The cord he pointed out hanging looked like a phone cord > Thats what Valentine used as a V1 power cord.
I whole heartedly agree that is the greatest BMW ever made. Absolutely stunning. If only it had the red interior.
The first Bond movie, Dr. No, came out in 1962, *_three_* years before the Astrodome opened. In the movie, which was a low-budget epic, 007 drove a Sunbeam Alpine! Since it was filmed in Jamaica, a lot of mundane British cars also appeared such as the Vauxhall Velox, Ford Consul, Ford Anglia and Standard Ensign, all of these genuine Hoopties. IMHO, the Z8 is one of the most beautiful BMW's ever, along with the 1971-75 3.0CS and, of course, the 507. Great purchase Hoovie!
I'm cracking up at the last scene! Also, the house kinda gives the same James Bond energy that the car does. Its a match made in heaven!
Awesome car! Especially love the orange glow of the gauges at night!
I usually disapprove of every BMW purchase you make, but that is a spectacular vehicle.
1:40 great Z8 tour with the porta-jons in the background
Congrats Tyler! That is a bucket list car. Well done!
He’s a brave man driving that car in that part of Houston. Glad he made it back to Kansas.
Best looking BMW ever!! So stoked for this purchase you made
Wrong, the two best looking BMWs of all times were the 507 and the 3.0 CSI. However, a 3.0 CSI you might still get. A 507? Forget it. Greetings from Munich, Bavaria.
@@hevog I totally agree! But let's call the 3,0 CSI -> 2,8 CS, that's what it was when it was designed.
I had a red 2,8 CS in 1985 when I was at high school, the only 14 year old Coupé had been so non expensive that others bought a 2CV for the same amount of money. Still the 2,8 CS was the fastest car on the school's parking...
Beautiful car Tyler…. Hope you hang onto it for a long time.
Worked for BMW in boston in 2001 and touched those brand new..great engine and FAST! My dream car

I love what you are doing with the BMW line up thing, I’m BMW crazy and have owned many of BMW’s of this 90s-2000s time I would love to have them al at once but my bank account wouldn’t allow it, glad you’re doing it for me
Congrats on the Z8 Tyler, an all time classic!! Is that aTestarossa i see next to the Countach at 13:50? I hope so 🤞🏼
As BMW'S go, I really used to love the 850, but they were an absolute horror show when it came to keeping it out of the shop. That being said, cool find Hoovie. Best of luck.
As someone who has had to work on them before, they can also be an absolute nightmare to work on. I've heard stories of mechanics walking out of the shop just so they don't have to work on it when one comes in lol.
@@hotchkess846 Doesn't it have have two fuel pumps and two distributor caps and the batteries are in the trunk? Strange design but I thought it was cool. As bad as it was, it was more reliable than the Jaguar Sovereign 12 cylinder.
@@leavonfletcher4197 Yup it has two of all of those. Even two batteries and both are in the trunk. It’s literally two separate engines fused together. I agree too, it is a really cool design.

Wow! Beautiful car. I did not know the Z8 was that epic. Im totally jealous.
It’s amazing how well that car has aged
That’s the nicest Miata I’ve ever seen 🤣
Many years ago I had a 2001 Miata in dark blue with tan leather interior. I thought it was one of the nicest looking cars with the top down. Then, one day I took a ride to Palm Beach and on Worth Avenue I saw a Z8 in the exact same color combination with the top down. The Z8 was very similar in shape but much more muscular and larger. One of the nicest sports cars that I have ever seen. It made my precious Mazda look very cheap by comparison.
Gorgeous vehicle great video as always!
Hoovie, Pierce Brosnan drove the Z8 in "The World is not Enough." He drove a BMW 750 in "Tomorrow Never Dies." It was the car that had missiles in the roof, the reinflating tires, and the ability to drive the car with a Nokia phone remote control. It was the car he drove off of a parking garage into an Avis rental car office.
This has to be my favourite car of all the hoopties
We just moved from NY to Texas. Buc-ee's was the last place we found non-ethanol fuel. I trust you filled up with that.
Bucees is the best!
@@grahamstefaan A rather odd place, but a decent $7.00 BBQ sandwich, $1.00 iced tea, so called "artwork" for sale in the bathrooms, and best of all ethanol free gas.
