The BMW 8 Series E31 is a luxurious grand tourer produced by BMW from 1989 to 1999. It was the first BMW to feature a V12 engine in a production car since the 1930s and was designed to compete with luxury coupes like the Mercedes-Benz SL and the Jaguar XJS. The E31 was distinguished by its sleek, aerodynamic design, with a long hood, a low roofline, and a fastback rear. It was also one of the first cars to feature a fully integrated electronic control system, which managed various functions like the engine, transmission, and suspension. The 8 Series was offered in a variety of engine options, including a 4.0-liter V8, a 5.0-liter V12, and a 5.4-liter V12. The 850i, powered by a 5.0-liter V12 producing 322 horsepower, became an iconic model, while the 840Ci, equipped with a 4.0-liter V8, offered a more affordable option. The 8 Series was available in coupe and convertible body styles, each with its unique charm and appeal. Despite its technological advancements and luxurious appeal, the 8 Series did not achieve the commercial success that BMW had hoped for. Its high price tag and limited production run made it a niche vehicle, primarily appealing to a select group of discerning drivers. However, the 8 Series left a lasting legacy in the automotive world, establishing BMW's reputation for building luxurious and technologically advanced grand tourers. Its sleek design and innovative features have garnered a devoted following, further cemented by its status as a classic car. The 1999 BMW 8 Series E31, like all the models before it, embodies the spirit of innovation and engineering excellence for which BMW is renowned. The Factory Service Repair Manual for this iconic vehicle provides a comprehensive guide for maintaining and repairing the car, ensuring its legacy can continue for years to come.
