Some pics of 8 Series Cabrio I found on my HDD. The German conversion looks very professional.

Re: BMW 850i Cabrio

We intended series production for the BMW 8er cabrio to rival the Mercedes SL but initial sales of the coupe were dire and then the recession began to set in. We also intended for a M8 Coupe as well but again these were axed at the last hour.

Both the 850i Cabrio and M8 Prototype can be found within BMW's Mobile Tradition collection.

Re: BMW 850i Cabrio

The M8 would have been so hot with 550bhp in the 90's.

Attached some pictures of the mighty M8, plus a review in a french mag -

Re: BMW 850i Cabrio

The M8 was a very early prototype without even the pop-up headlights, making it illegal on the streets.

Re: BMW 850i Cabrio

Thanks EMpowe.

This is IMO one of the best looking BMWs ever. Too bad it wasn't that successful.
