The new 8 series

As always, it's maybe the American market that is dictating things.

 

American and Chinese markets will definitely be having a strong influence on current designs. UK is not really into big cars anyway. Many users see the current 5 and 6-series as far too big, let alone anything bigger.

I find my 3 series F30 is a perfect fit on the narrow Cheshire country lanes. I wouldn't want anything bigger than a 5 series.
But of course on main 'A' roads and motorways, it doesn't really matter.

I can't find any mention my end that the 840d is a V6

 

No i assumed he'd got that wrong. Can't imagine that BMW are going to suddenly start producing V6's after all these years building inline 6's

 

They never are, look at the Porsche Mission E. Now it seems to look not unlike a Panamera

 

No
You’re right rich....
Shame really..

The old 8 series?

Noticed this one yesterday. 840 Ci it says.

 

Yes that's the E31 8 Series

 

Ha
I remember I went to buy one of those, during test drive, seller put £10 of fuel in, it drank it on <20 mile test drive, my eyes watered and I walked away with some cock and bull story.
Opportunity missed to own an iconic car! Though I’m sure it was the 850i

The new one looks quite the party piece!

 

That would be the one to have [as long as you have deep pockets].

 

We’re going back many years John
I ended up with a Saab 95 Hot Aero, that quickly ate it’s turbo......

 

Don't remind me, Sean.

 

Lovely iconic car , I ve always had a soft spot for the original 8 series.
