It's too much of a monstrosity for a BMW.

looks good but the grille it way too big...if theyre bringing back the 8 series they need to look BACK to their own history

now this is a sexy car

The rear shot looks filthy

Not impressed, too many lines. It looks like a snorting horse. The original 850CSI was a beautiful car.

From the 282hp V8 840 to the 850CSi which had a 5.6L V12 pushing 380hp. For its era it was a pretty fast luxury GT, mid 5s I believe. It was kinda like what the R8 is to Audi now. A limited edition showcase of the brands luxury, styling and technology that trickled down through the ranks. A kinda "look what we can do". It was a beautiful car though, and that V12 exhaust note was amazing. They're so rare now that the 850CSi has become a collectors item...Needless to say I want one.

yeah the 850 csi has become a collectors item, BUT other 8 series like say a latter840(which is actually faster than the earlier v12 850s due to modern breakthroughs) can be had for 20 to 30 k in great condition so yeah if i didnt "need" awd id buy that over a b5s4 just because of how much prettier IMHO and rarer it is....still though at my age i cant afford 2 cars so im working and searching for a good solid b5s4
