e31's

[Iain]

For all the cars to buy that'll be disappointing to drive, hugely expensive to maintain and horrifically unrelaible you guys are picking an 8 Series? Sure they look great dropped over big rims, but the drivetrain/electricals is shit.

It was like the Germans were offended that only the Italians could build sexy but utterly shithouse cars and so took it upon themselves to better the Italians by creating the 8 Series.

sorry about this random thread. my posts have been increasingly useless

but seriously, in the world of BMW's, wouldn't that just be the sweetest engine/car combo?

okay, back to doing calculus...

Not really

s70/2 we all drool about was based on the m70.

Id take a 850 CSI any day. I probably wouldn't drive it because I'd be too afraid I'd have to fix it.

m70 with already low compression + twin turbos = ridiculous 12 cylinders of fury

E31 sexy as hell to look at boring to drive unless its a 6spd mt. Repairs wise yea expensive but they were one of the most technologicly advanced cars for their time.

At work we have an 850csi with a 6speed manual gearbox. I'll try to snap a few pics tomorrow. It's getting work done to it, but I'll see what I can do. It is super sick. Dirty looking, but super sick.

I saw an 850 at the pick n pull last week.

I had a friend throw a rod in his 850i in early january and it even dented the hood :rofl:

the thing has just sitting behind his shop ever since and now he drives a 1995 Bronco

Some serious double standards going on here.

You know why new BMW's suck? Because they're heavy, bloated, full of computers, numb, dull and boring to drive.

You know why the E31 sucks? See above.

good ol faithful ay?

fuck that, 2 m20's

[Be30mer]

e31's are chill cars IMO. they are for rich people that want a v8 or v12 under the hood and dont want to shift gears. the 850csi is a completely different story though... i would trade one for my e30 any day of the week.

335i is full of computers, but its still fun to drive, and definately NOT dull.

Sexy Cars Indeed.

Here is My buddies Jenya 850i....With Breyton Body kit and Wheels.






Such a hot car, but to Expensive to maintain

[Jean]

Great LOOKING car... just needs a more reliable drivetrain... LSx and then we are talking. Good looking AND reliable and FAST.

850CSi are awesome.

Bimmerfest 2007 had one e39 m5 v8 and one e60 m5 v10 powered e31's there.

850CSi are awesome.
