Queen of Beemas 0 Report post Posted September 18, 2007 WOW! She is gorgeous! I believe its worth the coin and worth the wait! I am very jealous! After owning my purple 3 for a while (I didnt like the colour at first) and also wanting an 8 series for years, your car is just dreamy to me! Have fun, I look forward to seeing it in the flesh when I'm back in NZ... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Boost Junky 1 Report post Posted October 5, 2007 Oh dear that is soo cool and soo different! Im impressed and can only imagine what that thing will drive like. By the way how are u making ur images come up as thumbnails? bit off the topic i know lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bradc 0 Report post Posted October 12, 2007 Allan - it had better be on the road by then! I'm keen to turn up to as many meets as possible in it as well Jimbo - no it doesn't. The best combination possible in a car! V12 + 6 speed manual + new clutch + switchable traction control! Boost Junky - It is very cool I'm guessing it will drive like a bit of a barge, but we shall see. As for the thumbnails, I don't know, I just uploaded the files using the link below the post.

kiwi535 538 Report post Posted October 12, 2007 apparently the 8 is a autobahn stormer.....however i bet the silky smooth v12 ,which are very torquey will feel absolutely unreal....I cant even begin to think what it will feel like as you squeeeeeeze the loud pedal at about 3500 in third as you pull out to overtake a line of traffic on a long uphill.....There was an 850 auto at Page European the other day.....obviously an import and a bit rough too..

Old_Skool_Bmw 0 Report post Posted October 16, 2007 damn thats sexy!!! You better be bringing it down to Welly sometime in the future. wouldn't mind seeing it in the flesh! sounds like you scored a pretty good deal, will be a nice investment i'd say!! Keep us updated with pics when you get it in the country. Lauerence. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bradc 0 Report post Posted October 16, 2007 kiwi535 - with over 400nm at 2000rpm, it will be awesome for that sort of thing, just keep it in 4th the whole day long! James - yeah Matt was over here last weekend. You should come to my place for Guy Fawkes, pm me for my address. Boost Junky - yeah BMW crashed like 100 of the things and spent nearly $2 billion making it (and that was in the late 80's, not adjusted for inflation) I'm sure it is a damned solid car. Old Skool BMW - I don't know about bringing it down to Wellington, it'll cost the better part of $300-400 to drive down there, and if I do go down I would probably take the VR-4 anyway, cause I can sleep in the back of it.

I am sure the performance is "adequate" at 2000 rpm,but .....I am sure we could arrange some more satisfactory accommodation than the back of a vr4!

bradc 0 Report post Posted October 18, 2007 Nahh sleeping in the back of it is great, I've got the factory 7" touch screen, a computer under the front passenger seat and a twin battery setup. It plays through the stereo speakers and gives me about 3-4 hours of movie watching. Then I've got my laptop with a pair of batteries that will give me another 6 hours or so of movie watching, and it has a massive sunroof that is great for watching the rain and stars through. I love sleeping in the back of it. Even better when there is pleasurable company around - how many female Wellington members have we got here? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
