    Saw this on reddit. Someone's getting ready for takeoff. Sweet antenna bro

    Seems to be somewhere in Atlanta. Wish I could be more specific.


    And the 5.7 in New York

    Seen this Black 840 on PCH yesterday, seen it a few times at the hand car wash on PCH, Long Beach, Ca. Gave mutual thumbs up, Took a photo of him flooring it on the 710 Frwy N/B about 1pm, Looked very special in my rear view mirror, Especially at that speed.)

    Maybe you can trade him your CSi front for an interior swap. :p

    His looks like it's seen better days

    Last few pix I saw of the car that bumper was fixed. The pix where from when this car was right next to the M8 prototype in a car show in california. Although in this instant I cant recall if he went with the CSi bumper or the alpina one.

    ok that alpina is jaw dropping gorgeous... It has a plate.. so im guessing its been federalized and imported and all... Lucky guy. Im sure he paid a pretty penny. Looks like it just left the showroom.

    Yep, fully federalized and US legal. However, I think it passed as an 850CSi and not as an actual "Alpina" which is technically another manufacturer in Europe. That's why it's a big deal Rogbmw was able to federalize his Alpina B12 5.0 as an Alpina.

    same here! Still a while until I can try it out...but the necessary pieces are easy enough to acquire so I'll definatelly give it a try down the line. If I like how the trim pieces look, the last part would be re-doing my sport seats in the same two-tone scheme.

    Nice looking car. Some things seem incorrect for an Alpina. Interior is not my style at all. Nice radio upgrade. Too bad the dam lip is busted.

    840ci
    While leaving a parking lot at a plaza, I saw an 8 go by on Sloat Blvd in SF California. He honked and waved at me. His, if I recall, was a steerling silver and in good shape too. This just shows you how rare and special our cars are, that when you see one unexpectly, you just have to wave as a form of respect due to similar taste.

    Forgot to mention 12/20/13, after filling up the tank on Ocean Ave in SF California, a gray color 8 followed behind me. It was dark, approx 11pm, but I thought the front lights looked familar to me. I switched lanes to allow the 8 to pass me, it was a female driver. Car was in good condition, but I wouldn't say excellent- - - Updated - - -

    Are you on this forum? Would be great to meet local forum members.
    Could have been mine as I do remember taking 87 but not sure of the exact date.

    Watching Chasing Classic Cars and spotted this 840 on the lot. He seems to have these every once in a while. Nice wheels. I think this is one of the best auto shows on TV. No crazies.

    ^ Great show. Though I wish they showed more of the cars getting worked on in the garage.

    I saw a Silver 840i on 270S this morning ~9:30AM, MD tags with a spoiler; A black gentleman in a suit & hat, I honked and waved in my E34 beater. I might have met you at a local meet once upon a time.

    Snow?
    From the 2013/2014 winter season in Germany I wonder what the heck snow is?
    And now you want to tell me that Steffen is driving in snow in Texas?!?
    I bet that Steffens parents and grandparents told him quite different stories about winter seasons in good old G,
    but this winter is one of the warmest ever since the start of weather recording about 150 years ago!

    Snow disaster in the states, water disaster in GB?
    Long lasting autumn or early spring in Germany!
    Just a question of definition!

    Best regards from good old Germany Harry!

    Was that someone here on the forum.

    I know we have a thread for this but I have never gotten a response. I saw a Red 8 on Sunday the 27th on Skyline and Great Hiway in San Francisco. I was in the Black 840. Anyone here in that Calypso 8?

    wasn't me, but the M Coupe board has a sticky thread called "coupe spotting thread". Its always near the top of the message board. Makes for a nice place to go if you spot one!
