Click below to read car reviews of the BMW 8 Series. At Review Centre we have thousands of reviews of cars including other BMW makes and models, both new and used, like the BMW 3 Series, the BMW 5 series and the BMW M3.
BMWs biggest coupe, The BMW 8 Series is a V8 or V12 engine 2 door 2+2 coupe built from 1989 to 1999. An electronically limited maximum speed of 155 mph and 5 litre V12 engine producing around 300bhp meant it was a fairly powerful coupe but not that economical. The 1993 mid series models BMW introduced, were a cheaper, more economical 8 series alternative with improved transmission, suspension, steering and aerodynamics. These are some of the best buys.

I would really like to see a v12 engine on the new M3 body. A v12 engine that propels this car, it is cheaper than other v12 cars, like other BMW cars the suspension train is sweet and lets not forget the good

I looked for a used BMW 850 CSi for a long time and finally found one and fell in love with it instantly. What a rush it gives you when you have the opportunity to really do what it was designed to do; handle the curves beautifully with power to spare. Have owned many fine autos and this is the ...

Development of the 8 series was over the top - 5 years. BMW pumped no less than 1 billion DM into it. Some even tag the car as 'over-engineered'. Well it shows. It's superbly built (definitely not Bangled ;-)
The wedge-shaped body oozes style and the design has aged well. It's not uncommon for people to think a nice CSi is a new BMW model. The pop-up lights also look very modern. The build is solid and for a change, BMW seem to have built a solid interior (interior door panels won't ...

I have owned the BMW 850 CSi for 2 years now, I bought it second hand for £8,500 and I have to say it is one heck of a roadster. It is a gorgeous looking powerful motor. It has 380bhp and 4 massive exhausts on the back making it a really fast car. So I would reccomend this car over most Ferraris. I am very proud to own this ...

It is hard not to compare the BMW 850 CSi line of cars with performance cars from the here and now. In its original form it was designed to cover large stretches of land in a short amount of time. Get it on the freeway and even newer super cars with gobs of horsepower have trouble keeping up. The off the line performance will have you looking at rear end re-tooling and low end torque improvements. But off the line is not what this car is about. If you want to go long distance in the most ...
