Any BMW owners on here?

[mr.bimmrz]

Just wondering if there are any Bimmer owners on here. Maybe it's your winter beater or ? :dontknow:

Yup. I have a 2004 325Ci Orient Blue

I had one years ago.

Nice car, but the price of parts sucked.

Partner is lusting after an M8, he has an 845 and an M4. He also buys rides and sells BMW motorcycles like candy...a real Beemer freak...got a dealers license just so he could go to the auctions and buy BMW's drive them and sell them back.

We've had about 8 BMW's over the years.... 3 and 5 series. I've been looking around for a 01-04 328/330Ci for my girl.

BMW makes great cars! ..... But, I haven't been a fan of the new body styles lately. uke:

Yep, lots of misnomers out there. The only car designated "M8" (there was only one unit produced...) was this car:

It was a concept/mule for the motorsport team. It was never in production. Here is a pic of the engine:

The 850CSi was always considered to be the "M" version of the 8 Series, but it was never designated as such.

Here is some good reading on the subject....

///M Badges are quite prevalent among BMW owners. Hell, I had a "M5" badge on the back of my '89 535i (They looked exactly alike, besides a small front spoiler on the real M5)

They DID NOT make a M version of the Z8 either. They sold a ALPINA version in the US and Europe, that I posted in my last post. This is probably what was seen by Eddie. Someone just stuck a M8 badge on the back. Here is the biggest site for Z8 enthusiasts... http://www.bmwz8.us/index.php Great info there, as well.

Had a BMW X5 for about 2.5 years, excellent vehicles! Sold it and bought the Denali. I wanted to keep it for a beater, I just do not have the room and I will be adding another viper soon, if I can find the one I want.

I don't own any, but I fix 'em for a living.

My parents have owned 2 E46 M3s( SMG coupe, 6spd conv), E39 M5, X5 4.8is, the only one they currently still have is a Z8 (not the crap-tastic Alpina version, the real thing).
