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.

This is a good source of information on all three 8 series models.

There is quite a bit of performance difference between the "Lesser" models and the 850CSi and variation from beginning to end of the production run.

My 1992 850i Automatic with Conforti chips and Supersprint exhaust did 6.8 seconds 0-60 mph, and somewhere in the 14 sec range in the 1/4 mile. )Been a while, can't remember exactly). The manual trans models are faster by almost a second, and the rare CSi versions made in 1994 and 1995 are quicker yet.

Basically, the slowest ones are 6.8 to 60 mph.

Hp on the 91-93 models is 296, 325 ish on the later ones. The rare Csi is about 380 hp.

Yop speed stock is limited to 155 like most German cars of the era.
