Model history

The BMW 8 Series (E31) was built exclusively as a coupe from 1989 onwards and was positioned as the successor to the 6 Series (E24) – larger, more technically complex, and significantly more expensive. The design was by Klaus Kapitza and was visually based on the lines of the BMW M1. Technically related to the 7 Series of the time, the 8 Series combined V12 engines with luxurious equipment and modern suspension. Despite innovative features, commercial success remained limited – around 30,600 units were produced by 1999.

    Technik: Der BMW 8er (werksintern E31) ist ein Oberklasse-Coupé der 8er-Reihe von BMW. Der 8er entstand unter der Leitung des BMW-Chefdesigners Claus Luthe. Er wurde im Sommer 1989 offiziell auf der IAA in Frankfurt vorgestellt und bis Mitte 1999 produziert. Schließlich wurde im 8er der 12 Zylinder aus dem E32 verbaut, den BMW weit vor Mercedes in Serie brachte und der schlicht als technisches Wunderwerk zu werten ist!! LG Tom
