8 Series (E31) (1991 - 1997) As the last E24 rolled off the production line in 1989, its replacement was quick on its heels to fulfill the fantasies of those looking for a touring coupe with all of the luxury, performance, and prestige of a BMW, only now with both 8 and 12 cylinder engines.

Would you happen to have any better pics?
It looks almost like a green where the sun is shining on it, and then in some areas, its a really dark blue.

It was for sale in Germany a few months ago when I was exploring importing an 850CSI.

I was posting pictures in the 8 forum to keep from fading out from boredom and posted pictures of this one among the 8 Fest pictures I had. Someone asked what color it was and I didn't know. So I asked--Thanks to all who answered.

I don't believe that Avus was one of the "Official" 8 colors so that is why it is an Individual with the color coded interior--like the Dakar I posted in the 8 Forum.

hmmm that car could use a MAJOR detail... I wonder if they would fly me over to give that amazing Avus exterior the love and care she needs....


then I'd kill the owners as they slept and take the car for myself.

Looks like AVUS, but it could also be Mauritius Blue.
