E31 M8 prototype

Recommended Posts

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.

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).

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.

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!

You're right, I came across that a few years ago. Venus has her own YouTube channel.
