Nearing 7,000 cars in the 8Coupe.com registry archive in the following is an overview of how those cars are distributed amongst the different production variants.
On average more than 35% of each variant has been archived with the largest percentages for the cars with higher intrinsic values (Alpina, CSi), later model years and North American (NA) based cars. The lowest rates are assigned to the old M70 based cars, be it with manual or automatic gearbox of which many did not survive the tides of times.
More than 50% of the E31-production took place in 1990/1991. October 1, 2011 marks the date where half the produced 8ers are 20 years or older!

The graph below shows the percentage of cars in the archive relative to the production year.
We expect to reach the 7k cars milestone in July/August 2011 and the long term goal - 25% of all produced E31´s - until late spring 2012.
To date the 8Coupe.com registry archive contains more than 160.000 files - of those 100.000 pictures and in excess of 60.000 PDF files including all build data sheets, online ads and various supporting information. On average the registry volunteers add ca. 500MB data each month to the archive.
