Default M....8?
BMW made an 8 series for a while in the 90's, but I don't think they ever made an M class of it. Badge engineering maybe?

Default 850 CSI is sometime called M8...
The engine has a M emblem on it.

It's 400 some hp with a 6 speed.

They produced the CSI for only 2 years.

very cool car!!

Do you find irony in the HP rating? 666 HP the number of the BEAST ;-)

Default I am telling you this guy was from cali and,,
He was driving one of those bmw that looks like a big sports car (I forget the series). With mods it was 400 HP and had some fat rims. He peeled out of the gas station and the thing frigging flew. I do not for one moment think this guy was lying. This boy had some cash. There was no point in further impressing me with a lie. I was already floored by his red on black bmw.
