The Bmw 8-series replaced the 6-series in
1989 so it has been around for nine years.
But still it is a very nice timeless
car that can meet up whit it´s newer competetors.
From 89-93 there was a 300hk
V12 in 8-series but it was not very relayable so
in 94 the 8-series was produced
almost only by the new 4,4l V8.
But they never stoped making the 850i, insted
the boosted up the engine to
even greater power than before, but it was or is
not a big seller.
