One of my local used car dealerships has had a black 8 series for sale on the lot for the last 5+ years.... NO JOKE. It's actually pretty clean too because I came up to look at it and after all these years I'm still shocked it hasn't moved. I guess the dealership owners haven't heard of ebay lol...

I'm a huge BMW fan and I love the 8 series especially, but there is a reason I went to Lexus after the last 10 years with BMW's. Its a beautiful car though! Have fun with it!

Yah do your reaserach unless its a great deal and you can flip it down the road. How much is the asking price?
The v8's had some head gasket problems...lots of them blow at around 60-80k. I was gonna buy a 540i but after all the research and CRAZZZZZY maintenance you need I went with the lexus and saved 10k.
8 series is wicked dope thou! Good luck!

if you can afford the maintnance awsome, but with how much that car is going to cost to mantain you could of build 3 GTE SCs...lol good luck with whatever you decide...even though i think you already made up your mind. Even if you do regular maintnance BMWs still have major reliability issues.
I did a little research and it seems like parts are going to be very hard to find and very costly as well.
Looks like they had alot of recalls on the 8 series as well.
The reliability of the sc alone might be a reason to try to keep it.
Heres a link of some of the recalls--im sure there are much more if u look into it further.
Good luck----maybe take your time on this one unless its a real steal of a price.
