The BMW 8 Series (E31) is a grand tourer that was produced by BMW from 1989 to 1999. It was the first BMW to feature a V12 engine since the 1930s and was designed to rival the Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe and the Jaguar XJS. The 8 Series was a technological tour de force for its time, featuring advanced features such as a lightweight aluminum body, a fully independent suspension, and an advanced electronic control system. It also offered a range of powerful engines, including a 5.0-liter V12, a 4.4-liter V8, and a 3.0-liter inline-six. The 8 Series was lauded for its elegant styling, luxurious interior, and impressive performance. Despite its impressive specifications, the 8 Series never achieved the commercial success that BMW had hoped for. This was due to a combination of factors, including its high price, its relatively limited production run, and the introduction of the more practical and affordable BMW 3 Series Coupe during its production run. Despite its commercial limitations, the BMW 8 Series remains a highly sought-after collector car. Its rarity, its technological innovations, and its luxurious character make it a desirable classic, particularly the V12-powered models. The 8 Series was a bold statement from BMW that showcased its engineering prowess and design sensibilities. It paved the way for future BMW models such as the 6 Series and the 8 Series Gran Coupe. The 2000 Factory Repair Manual is a valuable resource for anyone who owns or works on an E31 8 Series. It provides detailed instructions and illustrations for all aspects of the vehicle, from basic maintenance to complex repairs. The manual is an essential tool for ensuring the proper care and maintenance of this iconic vehicle. It is crucial for ensuring that the 8 Series remains a reliable and enjoyable car for many years to come.
