There were 2 B12 coupe models: The 5.0 (based on the early 850i) and the much more desirable 5.7 (based on the 850CSi). The latter has all the usual CSi features (AHK, throttle sensitivity switch, 6-speed manual box, etc) but also had a more powerful engine (415 BHP standard) and the usual Alpina suspension and styling tweaks. There were only around 17 RHD 5.7s produced. A good low mileage one that has been properly looked after will fetch upwards of £40k. The next best thing is the 850CSi itself, which is still a fantastic car at a much more affordable price than the B12. Good ones can be had for £12-15k these days, even less for slightly ropier ones but it's a false economy buying a "cheap" CSi. Mine is somewhat of a poor-man's equivalent to the CSi, as it has all the CSi styling and the 6-speed manual box, but is somewhat down on the engine power! |

Hey Paul yours looks very similar to mine are you attending the meet next Sunday ? I think I'll attend and plan to meet up with another new 8 owner. |

I'll try to make the meet, although the 8 is currently at my mate's as I bust one of the headlight adjusters (they are made of cheap plastic and break if you look at them wrong). So I need to strip the headlight unit and fit new adjusters first
Currently running around in the 318is, damn that thing is sloooooow although it does do 28 MPG and is a hoot to drive even with the lack of power |
