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.
The E31 Registry at 8Coupe.com is closed for the holidays. We will return Saturday, 10-January-2009. All new registrations and registry inquiries are offline.
BMW AG announced today that due to deteriorating market conditions and lack of profitability in the new model line, the Concept CS (the new 8 Series) is cancelled.
On Monday a federal judge ruled in favor of consumer groups and gave the government a deadline to finally implement a law Congress passed in 1992.
Under the ruling, insurance companies, salvage yards and junkyards will be required — by the end of next March (2009) — to provide information on vehicles so badly damaged by floods, fires or crashes that they are written off. That information is to go into a national database that consumers can use to avoid being victimized when purchasing used vehicles.
E31FAQ.com will be closing its website by 25-Sept-2008. The site’s existing content of 100+ articles will be transferred to the 8er.org forums during the month of October 2008.
