One of likely only a handful of Euro-spec 8 series in the US and likely the only example without a sunroof (slicktop) as well as no EDC. Only 218 US Spec 8 series were sold in Mauritiusblau Metallic (nice older respray while in Japan) making this #219. Probably only car in US equipped with full suite of exterior upgrades from German tuner MK Motorsport!

Much like Alpina, Hartge, & AC Schintzer, MK Motorsport offered both performance and exterior upgrades to various BMW models from the 80's and 90's. This particular car has the front badge, front spoiler and MK1 wheels. Both the spoiler and wheels dramatically improve the looks of a standard 8 series. Other goodies on the car included are a very nice Atiwe (Germany) 3-spoke airbag steering wheel, Eibach (Germany) lowering springs with Boge (Germany) shocks and a Remus (Austria) cat back exhaust. All parts are period correct items with the wheels having visible “Made in West Germany” stampings. The wheels are 18 x 9.5 and 18 x 11 inch are specific to this model are regarded in the 8 series community as THE wheels for the 8 series. Other than the aforementioned exhaust, the car is also equipped with K&N filters (just cleaned and re-oiled) and has a performance chipset that increases power by 10% as well as waking up the throttle bodies. Original chips will come with the car.

This car is turn-key and has been comprehensively sorted during my 2 year stewardship. It is very likely the best running and driving 8 series and without a doubt one of the most eye-catching. It receives it's fair share of attention and any car show or just driving down the road. Car starts every time. No lights on dash. The M70 V12 idles smooth, and pulls strong through the revs. The 4HP24 transmission shifts extremely smoothly and allows for very brisk driving especially in sport mode. All electronics function as they should. Batteries do not drain when car is parked. Check panel is clear of faults. Heat and A/C work great.

As you can see, there has been a very large amount of love, time and care to return this car to absolutely top condition. The car has made several 5-6 hr trips without incident and is the BEST highway vehicle I have ever experienced! Supremely comfortable, smooth and stable at any speed. Also, surprisingly for such a large grand tourer it is no slouch on mountain roads either with flat cornering and strong brakes.

Vehicle is located in Atlanta, GA and has a lien-free Georgia title in my name.
