That's great and you are right, so true.

Awesome times the sideways 8

Thanks for sharing

What they said ^^^ And, I think I've seen an 8er that color recently.

I'm nearly positive it's Niels Hamann's car:

I've had a chance to look through his book, and it's outstanding reference material.

amen! Go out and drive yours!

Timeless moment.

Love the caption, too!

It looks like Oxford Green in that poster, but I'm not so sure after viewing the video. Anybody know what color it is?

[Chamberlin]

I think it's Agaischblau 336 or Aqua 451. Definitely not Oxford! Pretty sure it's in the blues but the lighting is not helping.

And I was mistaken about it being Niels' car, as he owns a red CSi. The car shown is probably part of the classic collection.

A few things...

- The car is owned by BMW, not a person. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwJqVMDNfEY

- This particular car is the "last" (05/1999 production) 840Ci

- The color is Barbados Green Metallic

Yes that's it... I remember this one on BaT but I remember it being more green...

These photos are amazing. Never get sick of seeing this car.

one of the best colors (IMHO)

Very nice color indeed... it looks like the one they're pushing for the new 8 series concept. Coincidence??

[kiwiCSi]

Barbados is one of my favourite E31 colours, especially when paired with the cream leather interior.
Not sure about this car being the last off the line though, Olin - maybe the last LHD?
According to 8coupe.com:
The last M62 840CiA produced was the last of the entire 8-series production off the BMW Dingolfing production line. CC67485 was farewelled on May 25, 1999 and delivered to the UK from where it returned to Germany in March 2011.
For the record, CC67485 was a RHD 840Ci Sport auto (EF82) finished in the BMW Individual color of Estoril blue, with Tobago blue/black interior.

I remember that color on the Euro 850 at Bimmerfest a few years ago.

Off-topic, but this is my other favourite BMW poster. :-)

There have certainly been some good ones over the years.
Note that the subject 'poster' was actually from a 'BMW Classic' calendar that I was given some years ago - will have to dig it out again, as each month had a picture of a classic BMW with a similar kind of message.

Did no one even notice the prototype cabrio in the second picture? I personally think the e31 looks better with a roof (especially from the side view), but the topless version looks pretty good from behind!

Yea, believe the photos are from the BMW museum next to the Welt. I still have to make it there one of these days! Last time I went the damn place was closed (Mondays)! But whether or not they'll have the convertible prototype on display from poison storage, that's a gamble unless you check ahead of time

Not the last E31, why'd they keep this instead of making the last one LHD?
