1997 BMW 8 Series Coupe 840Ci 2dr Coupe
Love and Obsession
 I fell in love with the 8-series when 
it first debuted in 1991, and dreamed 
of owning one.  Purchased my mid-life 
crisis car in 2000, and I have been in 
driver heaven ever since.  Handling, 
handling, handling, on rails!  Sinks 
into the road at high speed (tops at 
around 160, and yes, I got a ticket).  
Just drove cross-country with it and it 
was much more fun than flying first 
class.  Averaged 25 mpg for the 3500 
mile trip!  Now I have to buy an SUV, 
because this baby will never see snow.  
Can't say enough about the design and 
execution.  Routine maintenance costs 
are what you'd expect for a car in this 
class.
