Anybody know of any good 8 series forums uk based.
I am on the lookout for 1 but cant decide between 850ci or 840ci.
Need to do some homework.
Does anybody own an 8 series on here some feedback would be great from owners.
Cheers
8 Series

Try and get a good drive in one before deciding to buy. Big clumsy car with limited room inside and poor visibility hence why front bumpers are always damaged !. Buy low owner proper car with lots of history and bills. these cars are complex and can quickly turn into a bottomless pit if let go/owned by tight penniless scum.
840 is plenty fast and usually has standard (non electronic) suspension. 850s are very thirsty and rather pointless. Get a '97 on(4.4) 840 with nice spec (lots have sad grey or tan/brown interiors
) and take up religion !
