OVERVIEW

This is an excellent example of BMW’s “pillarless” design 8 series coupe (known as the E31 chassis). This car was ahead of its time when released, and 25 years on, it still turns heads and invites conversations wherever you park. A very iconic 1990s performance grand touring car.

Benefitting from careful ownership, this car needs nothing in terms of mechanical or cosmetic attention. The service record file is well over one inch thick, with records dating back to 1991 and including all upgrades, servicing, labor, invoices, etc.

Dinan upgrades abound on this car. The engine management software has been upgraded, along with the transmission software. Dinan high flow exhaust and Extrude Honed intake manifolds yield a Dinan stated 354hp and 390 lbs ft of torque. Helping cope with the upgrades are Dinan Stage 1 suspension (springs and Bilstein shocks) along with Dinan negative camber plates. Out back is a Dinan 3.91 limited slip differential to get the power cleanly to the ground.

Dinan two-piece 18"x9" wheels are mounted to the car with Continental tires sized 265/35-18 at all four corners. To halt the car, brakes have been upgraded to BMW Motorsport rotors and calipers, sized at 324mmx32mm front, and 328mmx20mm rear - this was a very expensive upgrade at near $5K for brake parts alone.

Cosmetically this car is exceptionally clean with very few flaws for age and mileage. The underside and engine bay have been treated to periodic detailing, leaving a cleaner than normal chassis for mileage.

Mechanically, this car has recently been checked over by a noted Marque specialist here in Seattle that has been caring for the car for 15+ years. Fresh fluids, battery, and a clean bill of health are present.

If you are looking for a BMW E31 series car, this is one to consider. With the mechanical and cosmetic details (plus the tasteful upgrades), you are hard pressed to find a nicer example at this price level. Includes all books, manuals, and original keys.
