I tuned my 850CSi to make it worthy of an M badge. I brought it back to the tracks and this is what I got.

Honestly, if they really made a functional E31 M8 back in the 90s and we assume the claimed 1492kg is dry weight (which most likely is the case), this car could have taken on an M6 Competition with not too much effort. Top speed would have been in the high 340s to low 350s as well, provided the CD doesn't change.

Supreme machines and engineering marvels and FULL FORCE BMW and BMW MOTORSPORT created what was from memory, I mean where talking awhile ago, a dynamically accomplished thoroughbred. It was generations ahead of the base model.
And talking about that, it has reminded me of the BTCC 3 Series racers, I followed those too. Joachim Winkelhock and Steve Soper. Glory years.

Its too bad the M8 supercar was never built because the prototype seemed incredible by early 90's standards. Financially it was a smart decision as the early 90's were a bad supercar market. With Audi and Mercedes both having their own supercars, it would be a good time for BMW to introduce a modern M8 supercar to compete.

@ Mental: Yeah, I was thinking the same thing, BMW ought to reintroduce the Z8/M8, offer it as a coupe or roadster, and give it, the M5, M6, and M3 the 535 horsepower 6.0 liter V12 from the 760Li, 600 horsepower for M5, M6, and Z8/M8, give the Z4 the 4.0 liter Twin Power Turbocharged V8 from the M5, and reintroduce the 8-Series coupe.

"The 760li still comes with a V12."
Really? Hmm, that car is so bland, unspectacular and peaceful that I completely forgot about that detail as well. That is not what I'd like to see. V12 under the hood of M6/M5 or Z4 - that would be hardcore! Even better would be if BMW introduced the new M8/Z8 V12 with marvelous aggressive classic bodies!
BTW, I loved pop-up headlights!

I would lso like for them to bring back the 8 Series, Was nice back in the day, That lovely shape, fitted with a V12 in coupe form.
Unfortunetley, given the weight of the car back then, a new 8 Series would prolly be round 4500Lbs fully fitted, Bmw should also fll in the gaps with there opther missing Series cars and stop the "Gran" cars and make them there own.
