I really could not understand which BMW this is. Mods please excuse me if i have posted this in the wrong section but i could not find where to post it. Please put in the relevant section which you deem fit.

20 inch wheels with 245 rubber is what this beast has.

That's a AC Schnitzer tuned E31 8 series BMW with M-Badging, circa 1993. Most likely to be an 850i, seeing that this person isn#'t short of cash. Looks lovely, though poorly maintained.

One of my favourite beemers.

Hey busa I think its a BMW M1........... not sure though , by the way is that the four seasons garage next to crossroads ...........cuz i had seen the car there quite some time back !!!!

P.s- check your Pm box ........

This is tuned by petes. I wonder why its lying like this. Its wheels come out like crazy and this car surely turns heads.

I'm afraid it isn't the M1. The M1 (E26) was from the late 70s and early 80s.

Here it is:

Check out this Koenig tuned 850i. There aren't many other cars in today's world that appear more sinister:

You're right...that is definitely an 8 series. Sad that we have another ricer who thinks M badges look cool in place of the BMW logo. Also sad that that car is being so poorly looked after. :(

And that black 8...could have given KITT a run for his (its?) money!

That's EXACTLY what I feel whenevr I take a look at it. Isn't it just menacing?

This belongs or used to belong to a famous diamond merchant who bought his son a viper. Seen this mentioned in an old ACI hence this can be mentioned on the forum

CaliforniaKnight · 2nd April 2006, 22:04

I wonder if its really been tuned by PETE'S..

Gordon · 2nd April 2006, 22:12

This is mostly the same car that was brought to one of the earlier Auto Shows in Mumbai.

P.S. Also spotted a AC Schnitzer 5 Series in Bandra quite some time back.

The 8 series has a specially feel to it much like how the 355 adds the magic to the ferrari line. Hope BMW comes up with a new 8 series to tackle the new CL.

aniguchisan · 3rd April 2006, 00:50

Lol, the new CL. A desiging masterpiece. *vomits quietly*

jesal · 3rd April 2006, 11:36

v12 · 3rd April 2006, 12:26
