@Auday:

I just think the 8 series didn’t come out at the right time. A few years later and it might have been successful. But I might be wrong also, those are pure speculations

@ Horatiu B.

Oh Really? how many SL cars did MB sell since the 1960? I bet you an 8 conv would have outsold the Coupe (which didn’t sell well anyway).
BMW just didnt like the 8 for many reaosns including the sales, the media response, and some internal poletics.

I had an E34 and also thought it would’ve been a great cabrio cruiser! Great find!

I still have and drive a 520i E34, the same series of this M5. Wonderful.

My favorite BMW classic is the 635 CSi. It is a pitty that this M5 didn’t make it to production. Clean design lines, elegant but “macho” at the same time. Not to mention that the build quality of the previous 5 series was better than the current one.

@Gragop:

I don’t think there was ever a market for an 8 Series Cab.

Oh ,… I miss the real BMWs, I would take this today over any MB or Audi, and new BMW!

Interesting look - I like the front and side but the rear deck looks far too long. Makes me wonder why they didn’t consider building an 8 Series convertible?
