Cale 36 Report post Posted March 28, 2020 Browsing the BMW M site and came across the below article published early March 2020. Some great pics and info on the the beautiful red M8 prototype. Lots of neat articles on other M cars too. https://www.bmw-m.com/en/topics/magazine-article-pool/the-bmw-m8-e31-prototype.html 3 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M3AN 4016 Report post Posted March 28, 2020 Thank you, that's great. Fabulous car but the article itself could so with some work and way more photos needed. No mention of the carbon fibre wheels and no pictures of cool things they did mention (mirrors, rear vents etc). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No mention of the carbon fibre wheels and no pictures of cool things they did mention (mirrors, rear vents etc). They do make brief mention of the wheels being "made of carbon fibre reinforced plastic...". But agree, more pictures would be nice - annoyingly most of the pictures just effectively repeat themselves. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ssbmw 217 Report post Posted March 30, 2020 The very cool thing is that we had a Kiwi a few years ago embark on a project that converted a track prepared 850csi into a M8 replica. Pretty sure if not documented on Bimmersport, there is information on it online. Looks very similar. Sad the factory 850csi never made financial sense. Would have been a stunning piece of kit!
