The BMW 8 Series, launched in 1989 and produced until 1999, was a luxury grand tourer that aimed to compete with the likes of the Mercedes-Benz SL and the Ferrari 348. The 1996 model year, featured in the BMW 8 Series 1996 Factory Service Repair Manual, represented the final years of this iconic car's production. It arrived with a refined design and a range of powerful engines, offering both comfort and performance. The 8 Series was available in coupe and convertible body styles, both showcasing sleek lines and a distinctive silhouette that emphasized its elegant nature. Underneath the stylish exterior lay a robust chassis, advanced suspension systems, and powerful engines. The range included a 4.4-liter V8 engine, producing 282 horsepower in the 840Ci and 322 horsepower in the 850Ci, and a 5.4-liter V12 engine in the 850CSi, boasting a remarkable 375 horsepower.
