The BMW E31 series, also known as the 8 Series, was a luxurious grand tourer produced by the German automaker BMW from 1989 to 1999. It was the successor to the BMW E24 6 Series and represented BMW's entry into the high-end luxury coupe market. The E31 was a technically advanced car for its time, featuring a lightweight aluminum body, a powerful V8 engine, and a sophisticated suspension system. The car was also notable for its aerodynamic design, with a drag coefficient of just 0.29. The E31 was offered with a range of powerful V8 engines, including a 5.0-liter M60 engine in the 840i and a 5.4-liter M70 engine in the 850i. The 850i was also available with a six-speed manual transmission, making it a rare and highly sought-after model. The E31 was also the first BMW to feature a fully independent multi-link rear suspension, which provided exceptional handling and ride quality. The car was praised for its luxurious interior, which featured high-quality materials and a sophisticated design. Despite its advanced technology and luxurious features, the E31 was not a commercial success for BMW. It was relatively expensive to produce and faced stiff competition from other luxury coupes like the Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe and the Lexus SC 400. However, the E31 has earned a cult following over the years and is now considered a classic, with some models fetching high prices on the collector market.
