Entries for 2009

With 15 Dinan 8 TT/6L cataloged, the registry is officially activated.  In cooperation with Chris Knauer, the Dinan 8 TT/6L Registry Agent from Dinan8.com, the Registry will be continually updated with the shrinking inventory of Dinan TT's still on the road.

Thanks to growing 8er community efforts, the E31 Registry again increased the number of collected information on specific 8er's worldwide since August 2002 to 4,221 or 13.8% of all 30,621 8er's produced.  This information includes photos, advertisements, service history, and owner provided data. 

Plans are now in place to launch the Dinan Twin Turbo (TT) Registry during the month of May 2009.

Since last month's news update, the E31 Registry at 8Coupe.com dramatically increased the number of collected information on specific 8er's worldwide since August 2002 to 4,002 or 13.1% of all 30,621 8er's produced.  This information includes photos, advertisements, service history, and owner provided data. 

The E31 Registry at 8Coupe.com has collected information on 3,832 specific 8er's worldwide since August 2002 or 12.5% of all 30,621 8er's produced.  This information includes photos, advertisements, service history, and owner provided data. 

Happy New Year.

The year 2009 is an important milestone in 8er (E31) history.  It will be 20 years this coming September that the 1990 (Euro) 850i was introduced at the IAA Frankfurt (Germany) Auto Show.  BMW AG had hoped to use this ocassion to launch the new 2010 BMW 8 Series, however, with the global recession upon us, BMW made the smart decision by cancelling the program.
