Just dont break anytning - 1992 BMW 8-Series
By K Elliott - March 9 - 2:00 amDinan Engineering took the car and "supercouped it". Significant engine and suspension modifications done resulting in a very different automobile than what came out of the factory. Original auto is very nice, however, somewhat underpowered. A true GT car, for the right driver there are few more pleasing automobiles on the road. But, should something go wrong...get out your checkbook and it wont be pretty.

BMW 850CSi - Affordable Supercar - 1994 BMW 8-Series
By Jud - February 7 - 2:00 amThe 8 Series line was one of the last classic designs before BMWÂ’s ugly design transformation. The 850CSi is the BMW Motorsport ("M") version of the 8 Series. BMW only imported 225 850CSis during model years 1994-95 to North America. I like the styling, the engineering, and the build quality of the vehicle. The car is sure-footed and goes from 0 to 60 in 5.8 seconds. Annual maintenance runs about $500/year. Insurance and license fees have dropped to realistic levels Parts availability is excellent. Since acquiring the 850CSi, Im pleased with its performance, value, and fun to drive factor.

THE BEST OF THE BEST! - 1993 BMW 8-Series
By carguyeleven - February 2 - 2:00 amI have owned several sports cars Corvette, Porsche, Supra, and a 740il BMW. After driving this car I was astounded by the handling, comfort and feeling of safety behind a car weighing over 4 thousand pounds and having a 12cylinder engine in front of me. The car flat moves and handles like a dream. The definition of a weekend car. I personaly like toys on a car, lots of options and gages, this car was like Disneyland for me. If you havent driven one of these do it just for fun. Youll love it!

Outstanding BMW - 1995 BMW 8-Series
By SantaCruzSean - November 29 - 2:00 amIf a person wanted to design and build a comfortable, reliable and fast road car all he would have to do is look at the E31 to see how it should be done. This automobile for its bulk rides like a true luxury car with fire in its heart. This BMW draws your eyes like a fine piece of art, when you look at its understated but muscular body it just exudes refinement and power. No, it is NOT a sports car, it is a machine that pleases both your heart and soul. If you have the chance to purchase one of these Jewels do so, the only thing you will regret is not getting one before you bought what you have now.

Love and Obsession - 1997 BMW 8-Series
By crcruznsf - October 12 - 2:00 amI fell in love with the 8-series when it first debuted in 1991, and dreamed of owning one. Purchased my mid-life crisis car in 2000, and I have been in driver heaven ever since. Handling, handling, handling, on rails! Sinks into the road at high speed (tops at around 160, and yes, I got a ticket). Just drove cross-country with it and it was much more fun than flying first class. Averaged 25 mpg for the 3500 mile trip! Now I have to buy an SUV, because this baby will never see snow. Cant say enough about the design and execution. Routine maintenance costs are what youd expect for a car in this class.

A Classic for the future - buy one now! - 1995 BMW 8-Series
By Jeffrey Bowers - May 5 - 2:00 amIf you have the opportunity to drive one of these German thoroughbreds, grab that opportunity with both hands. This is a superb machine engineered more like a jet fighter than an automobile, unlike the common or garden tin boxes around today. Lie back in luxury and float on air, effortlessly swallowing up the miles. If you are lucky enough to have the chance to buy one, do!

A few thoughts - 1995 BMW 8-Series
By rabbitman - March 5 - 10:22 pmI have driven the car for 4 years and about 50,000. It steers great and the suspension is awesome. I dropped in the Dinan chips which boosted performance and was worth the cost. I had an extended warranty that paid for some large repairs and I would not buy and 840 without one unless ou have a certified BMW mechanics
