Tindys4Life: LJJ:i've been trying to educate myself as much as possible on the 8 series, as i would like to possibly buy one or an aformentioned 635csi (but what year the question). i realize that bmw produced just under 31k 8 series, so purchasing could be tricky.any advice on what years to look? yeah none of them, they suck bawlz for anything other than a highway pig. prepare to poop your pants with maintenance costs esssspecially the v12's. I would never ever in my lifetime buy a v12 bmw, possibly one of the worst ideas they ever had other than the 318ti

I would never ever in my lifetime buy a v12 bmw, possibly one of the worst ideas they ever had other than the 318tii was looking for a v8 850 series. from what i have read and heard, bmw does not have a solid history of 12-cylinder engines.

I thought that the 850's were V12 only... I know the 840s have V8s. Out of curiosity, what part of the 8 series appeals to you?
LJJ: contra:911 is always tempting. cayman too. but if we're talking about performance for the dollar, lotus elise.nothing like seeing my oversized neighbor squeeze his fat-self into his vomitess orange elise. horrible body design. both of them, for the record.

Tindys4Life: contra:you manage to find the best photo i've seen of it yet. but still. the M3 was supposed to be about the track. now it's tipping the scales at what, like 3600+ lbs? to me that's inappropriate. but yeah after that photo pig is definitely the wrong word. slightly porkish? Inappropriate??? the e92 m3 weighs less than the e46 and it's got two more cylinders.

Tindys4Life:touche, drive the car and then try to tell me you like the e46 better
shralp:My dad bought one 1 month before he passed away and had just finished it up before he died. He had literally picked up the last parts the day he went to the ER. It was a dream car for him. We baby that car now and every time I drive it I get emotional. It is a cool design and the 3.5 liter engine is super reliable.

It massively lowers the center of gravity, improving handling.
F18: Pig??? I disagree, even if I still prefer the older model.

Senor_Hosfelt: I also read somewhere that Audi may replace the RS4 with an RS5 equipped with a 500+ horsepower engine.
