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.

Wow, you don't see interiors on those in that good of shape very often. The grey looks nice and lack of wood trim is nice.

That has potential to look amazing (get rid of the gold badging fergodssakes)

Good find!

Well interior looks new, because I bet its a flood car, so they had to put a new interior in it. Most likely a Texas car, flooded. They say it has rust spots, brand new looking interior, and the badges don't look like they line up.

The seller Team Verdone has another account with eBay with not-so-good feedback. Check out the user 'teamverdone'. I guess they created a new user because of that. I have no direct experience with them. Caveat Emptor..

Well, good luck with the car...
If it really is a flood car, I donīt think it is technically okay. An E38 of a friend of mine ran through a rather deep waterhole on the road after there was a flood at our place and that was it for the engine... It sucked in some water and R.I.P. ...
A flood car will also have much rust on the bottomside. So please check the bottom of the car for rust and other probs.
Otherwise the car looks like it is in perfect condition, and it is looking real nice.
