excellent vid! Should be the anthem for 8 series ownership :) I'm nearing my second year of owner ship, several thousands spent already, and many more to come...but all worth it!
Great Video . and great dedication to get a truely brilliant car back to showroom condition , i too am a bmw fan and im currently on my 8th a 645ci but i do hope to own an E31 some day the last car il ever own :-)
Oww, so unlucky, but the car looked great in the end! Great video!
Really hope I don't stumble into these problems with mine. Oh, and I had the exact same thing happen to the cooling fan on my old 3-series E46.. Went through three fans loosing their blades and causing a horrible mess - all because of a bad and unoriginal water pump ..
Hey I'm looking into possibly purchasing an 850I, Ive been doing research and I don't see any real problems with them provided they've been cared for properly.
Since you know alot of other E31 owners, how reliable would you say these cars are?
Any common problems or just occasional mishaps?
Are parts easy to come by? and how expensive are the parts relative to an average BMW of the same year?
'Cared for properly' is an understatement! Some of these cars go for miles with few problems. Others can be a trial. Mine passed two buyer's inspectons with flying colors, and what you see on the video isn't the half of it. Parts are easy if you know the sources. Part costs are at par with most 91-97 bimmers, but there are ways around that. If interested in buying I can point you in the right direction. PM me for more information!
good song great vid. Im lookin for an 850 to buy.. so anyone with one can you add me? i want to find out more about them from an owners point of view :)
haha. I think theyre such beautiful vehicles. Every car needs to be fixed eventually. Nothing lasts forever. All you can do is try your best to save it for as long as possible. Like anything in life. Plus, you totally sold that car with the pic at 2:00 haha. So.. add me if youd please. Id still love to find out what you know if you wouldnt mind
beautiful video.. I hope to join this family sometime in the near future.. have my eyes on a 840.. I love the "emerald" green one on the video..
