to SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT probably! let alone drive one.....we should feel bad for them instead!
Did anyone catch the bad mouthing of the 8 series in this months Car and Driver (June 01)?
In a Dirt Road article (p. 26) about the new 1 and 6 series they write "BMW intends to arouse the long-dormant enthusiasm for the beloved 6-series coupe of 1976-1989. The company-along with most enthusiasts-has conviently forgotten the 8-series, a large and largely uninspiring coupe of the '90s."
Obviously they don't visit this board!
The press never did "get" the 8-series and never will.
Maybe BMW didn't spend enough on 8-series print advertisements to get a favorable review.
