Think ive wasted a bucket load of money AGAIN!!!

[stuarty]

My cousins looking at buying an old 8 series to work on. Still look great, plenty of power and very comfy

Yeah i was looking at them earlier, really rare aswell!

[LRF4N]

He's looking at the cheapest ones cos it will be a second car but as a first car (excluding your wifes) 10k is a very healthy budget for an 8 series. Or any car nowadays

850csi!

TBH, ive had 14 new or newish cars in the last 10 years. It scare's the sh*t out of me when i think about how much ive lost in depreciation. So spending 10k on a car that probably wont depreciate would be a great money saving exercise for me. If i had thought of this before i bought my current car i would have gladly increased my budget to 40k!

Yes I think so.

 

Its 840i old are 4l and newer is 4.4 v8 same as e38.

 

850i are v12 5l same as e38 and 850csi is 5.4 I think and thats got 380bhp or something and a noise to die for.

 

Edit I think the 850csi is a 5.6.

I nearly bought this before it was traded in, has had a lot of work done on it but still needs a few bits sorted.

For a genuine GTR model you will need a lot more than 20k

[LRF4N]

If you can up your budget by a few grand this 8 series looks lovely
