It was simply too far ahead of its time, which is why it wasn't the great sales success for BMW, but it was the first 8er Coupe of the E31 generation is more popular today than ever. While prices reached their lowest point a few years ago and many used cars were living a shadowy existence at backyard dealers, the prices for the 8 Series are now slowly but steadily climbing and it is maturing into a sought-after classic. This is also due to the fact that only a few vehicles have survived and that the 8 Series was not produced in large numbers either. Today we're introducing you to a tastefully modified copy that belongs to BMW fan and tuner Ayman Bugis and is doing its rounds in England.
Red Sin in Style!
It is almost a sin to optically tune such a coming classic, but from our point of view you can do that if it is done as tastefully as in the case of this 8 Series. A particularly large number of modifications were not made, and as much as possible was left in its original condition. Just one Air Lift Performance Airride chassis as well as a new one front bumper, which dispensed with a license plate holder, found their way into the dream coupé from Dingolfing.
They are joined by 19-inch alloy wheels of the Racing Dynamics RS2 type, which convince with a grandiose low bed look and a five-spoke star design with a silver finish. There are also polished rim beds, making this aluminum look extremely classy and making the coupe a real gem. Tires in the format 215/35 R19 on the front axle and wider slippers in the format 235/35 R19 on the drive axle were attached to the rims.
Also found another Custom exhaust system with four tailpipes, each three inches (approx. 8 cm) in diameter, the way to the BMW, which does not need a lot of tuning to ensure a spectacular appearance. the compressors Incidentally, the Airride chassis was neatly placed in the trunk to save space, so that there is still some space left for luggage.
Luxury goodies from the 90s in the interior!
Not only the cassette radio, but also the huge and bulky car phone by today's standards, testify to the luxury of bygone times. A provides a sporty touch in the interior Three-spoke sports steering wheel by Racing Dynamics, which was also provided with an Alpina emblem. The electrically adjustable leather chairs, on the other hand, are still extremely inviting and comfortable today. This means that you can stay in a luxury cruiser in 2022 as well.
A 4-liter V8 suction gasoline engine provides propulsion!
According to our information, the engine was no tuning made, which is why he still has the serial output of 286 PS and the maximum torque of 400 Newton meters generated. With this, the luxury Bavarian achieves astonishingly good driving performance and it only takes the standard sprint from 0 to 100 km / h 7 seconds. top speed is a whopping 250 km / h, which means that you can still clear the left lane if you want to.
