BMW teamed up with Italian design house Zagato to create a premium version of the Z4 for the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este in Northern Italy. All of the body work is made of aluminum panels hand welded together and formed by the metal craftsmen at Zagato. The paint starts with a black primer which is then layered with a non-metallic silver before the red paint is applied and finished with an orange tint.

The first video tells the story behind the partnership and idea of the Zagato coupe.

The second video shows some footage of the aluminum body work being formed and the paint being applied.
