25% archived 8ers milestone

The fundamental milestone of archiving one quarter of the worldwide 8er production has been reached on February 29th, 2012. 

Without the initial idea to tackle a daunting task: cataloging all 30,621 8er build sheets and starting the 8Coupe registry & archive, our knowledge about the 8er in general and seen from many specific angles would be much smaller.

Amongst almost 1300 cars with special upholsteries manufactured by BMW Individual there is a select few which add more spice to an already exclusive colouring scheme.

BMW Individual had on offer two embossed leather types called Cobra and Pablo. Only 3 cars were equipped with embossed leather Cobra - these are located in Germany.

Across the parts that are covered with this special leather one can see a structure similar to the skin of a snake, hence the name Cobra

Two cars came equipped with embossed leather of the type Pablo which is known only from marketing material. Those two cars went to Germany and Greece and have not surfaced yet.

     
Welcome to the BMW 8 Series Registry

Rare and beautiful.

Effortless in design and function. Ahead of its time when introduced in 1989, the E31 8 Series is currently enjoying a resurgence in global popularity after the last car was produced May 1999.

The E31 registry, founded September 1997, is dedicated to those who believe that the BMW 8 Series will become one of the pre-eminent sought-after collector cars from the late 20th century.
