Yes, the 8 Series is quite frankly my favourite BMW ever. When i first saw the 8 series, which was during my childhood back in early 90s, i was only 8 or so. And ever since then i have been continously drooling over this car :drool:

But i'm only 18, and far from owning one. But hopefully when i'm 30 or so, and have atleast 20k in my account, i'll get one. And my perfect 8 would be a black, six speed, v12. Yum.

So yeah, just wanted to let you guys know, maybe i'll buy one of your 8s ;-)


Um, which interior colour does a black 8 come in??

This is the current Definitive worldwide production list of 8 series cars.

Enjoy browsing:)

Here are some pics of mine you can post on your walls!!!! Its for sale too!

8's are hot, but i aim higher with my goal for one.... i think a twin turbo v12 would be really nice... with a calypsorot paint job, and tan interior, and some modest wheels on it. :-P

but, i dont really plan on buying an 8 unless i become rich.

actually, i'd rather just put the TT V12 in my 3 series :-D

Thanks guys!

I'll take your e39 M5 trade straight up!!!!!:eek: Seriously, I'm looking to get around $17k - 19k for it. I have all the service records from the previous owner and I have alway had it serviced at my local BMW center. Oil changed every 3,000 miles and I also have the stock wheels for it. I'm currently on vacation but if you are serious and would like to see the car in person. Let me know

e30Ryan -

Shot you an e-mail ... please take a look at it and get back to me. Very interested in the car.

E-mail came from blwbramlett@bellsouth.net, reply back to that address as well.

Thanks!

woh I just shot my load looking at these pics, that is one sweet ride.:eek:

PM sent on the car

Been a BIG fan of the 8 myself. In fact, the 8 was the first bimmer that ever caught my eye back in 2000. I ended up going another route but still aspire to have a clean 8 like e30Ryan in the garage.

My dream ;)

My dream ;)

Keep looking. You'll get yours soon. Hopefully mine will be sold in a couple of weeks.

too bad i am not in the right timeframe right now or i would gobble that 8er up of yours. that's a fair price for the right ride. you sure you don't want a 540i6 :D

you sure you don't want a 540i6 :D

I will in a couple of years once the family grows a bit. Looking forward to a Lotus or "The Right Euro CSi".

Keep looking. You'll get yours soon. Hopefully mine will be sold in a couple of weeks.

Yes! But first I have to make teh money! //still in college.

What do you mean by RIGHT EURO CSi?

The euro specced 8s?? Where will you be able to find those?

What do you mean by RIGHT EURO CSi?

The euro specced 8s?? Where will you be able to find those?

Yes. The Euro Spec 850 CSi. There is a Federalization process where you can import 1994/1995 Euro Spec 850 CSi (And probably the most coveted ALPINA B12/5.7). The process is time and money consuming. The federalization process is $10K (Changing Light Modules, Multiple tests, OBD Cert, etc). But the Price of the CSi in Germany is not bad and even with the Federalization process it is of great value. There are several Euro 850 CSi (Including 1 ALPINA B12/5.7) in the US currently. They look similer (Except the Alpina) but has additional performance. Especially Active Rear Kinematics and early adaptation of 4 wheel steering.

Here is the link to US vs EURO Specs (http://www.my850csi.com/8erData/USAvsEuroVersions/tabid/93/Default.aspx)

Here is almost everything you want to know about the 8 series. (http://www.e31.net/english.html)

Enjoy.

I enjoyed it. Maybe a little too much.

Beautiful car, I hope you get one in the states sometime soon.

OMG... I just teared up in my eyes when I saw those pics..


oh man...I think i have a fever now.

WOW :buttrock
The 8 series has always been my favorite!
Damn nice cars, gents!! :buttrock

How costly are they for repairs?
Are parts really hard to get?

I'm thinking of selling my 88' 325is, spending some savings, and getting a 91' 850csi 6spd. (Black) ... It's my dream car, too! :D

Only thing is it's going to be my daily driver (crazy, huh?), so I need a reliable car. If there are repairs that are going to cost the same amount as the car itself in the near future, I might have to re-think. I can handle a decent amt. of upkeep, but how reliable are they after 100K miles?

Ant :help is greatly appreciated! Thanx!!!

Several 850s on Roadfly are around 200,000 miles and still going strong.

My 840 is only a teenager at 144,000 miles.

Gorgeous, just plain gorgeous.
