That's like saying syphilis is better than gonorrhoea!

 

[dem maser]

The 8 ive liked, i know some dont but at 4k you cant go wrong

 

[BennyD]

You certainly have a diverse taste in machinery Dem. Good to see.

 

[dem maser]

Well what can i say, im a man that must always be different, i like to have cars that the majority dont, alfa, maserati.....hate the obvious.....

 

[Andyk]

Have you all gone mad, a BMW 8 Series with a V12 engine, it is a ticking time bomb, the amount of money needed to keep one of those in good condition and cost in petrol, an 840 sport would be a better option.

Adam.....don't they say the same about Maserati 3200.......If you do your home work its no different ..You could buy a good one or lemon....Ier as manual would be very tempted with that one with a bit more info......Especially if it was a manual...Think only about 57 came over as manual though.

Didn't really think it would be your cup of tea Benny which is why I said 'Dem, have a look at this'.....

 

[Andyk]

The 840 is better than the 850......

Too true Dem...Mad Chris has an 840 Sport for sale at the moment....but its a good un so around 9k....

Saying that the one I would want is the 850csi...M in all but name but still fetches good money...

That is STUNNING!! Had I not bought a Land Rover Defender today (why??) that'd be in the car park now. Loving the 'Welsh spelling' of Mauritius

Or 3500 - prefer the other one but 3500 for V12 power......!!!

The red on this car looks good andy......most are autos though

I cant believe how much the 8 series cost new, especially the 860. If you like the 8 series, then this is a nice example, most expensive on PH.

even i do not like this one

If i wanted a nice low price classic BMW, would buy one of these instead.

It would be nice to potter around in a V12, 840 Sport i think was regarded as the best model in the 8 Series range.

 

[dem maser]

The 840 sport is the best one to have but they did an M kit on some.....

Yep you are right..It was always regarded as the best of the 8 series range..but I would have the 850 CSI.....Very rare and manual....
