8 series BMW...Well I like them!

[E31Shrew]

100k miles and counting

[Mark V8]

I love that combo. It looks very well on its Alpina rims. Which is it...?

[bmw2002]

Proper car.

[minisloth]

Looks very nice that does.

[Hollywood Wheels]

Lovely. How long have you had it, and what are the servicing costs like? This is the 4.4V8, is that right? Apologies, not too knowledgable on beemers....

[Andyt25]

Lovely and a real bargain these days if you do your home work on them.

[E31Shrew]

Thanks for the comments. Its a 98 840 Sport ...Yup 4.4....I 've had this one for nearly 3 years and the only costs have been routine servicing by a local non BMW garage. Change the oil every 3000 however because ,well, I just feel better! Great value now and a good one can be picked up for £7-8000.

Any of you guys off to Gaydon tomorrow ?

[Badapple]

I used to love these back in the day, they were the 'mecca' of the showrooms

[JulianCRX]

how much would that be new??

[E31Shrew]

[HowMuchLonger]

Really good looking car. Even now they look fantastic, and yours appears to be mint.

[jagdpanther]

Lovely cars

Own a 730i myself and soon to be changing for a 525i before I take the plunge on a 6 series asap

Love the 8 series and that's a lovely combination

[norman156]

Very nice. Didn't realise the 8 series was pillarless, looks fantastic. They are temptingly cheap now, do you find servicing and other general running costs to be a bit fairly collosal or is it managable?

Very nice looking car!
