Vehicle Build Sheet Report - VBS-R - finally available

Just ahead of Santa Claus the 8Coupe.com team has eventually managed to finish a project long in the making.

The Vehicle Build Sheet Report (VBS-R) is filled to the brim with VIN specific unique background information that puts every conceivable statistical aspect for any given 8-series vehicle into a perspective.
The information contained is not available elsewhere and by far surpasses what even the manufacturer would be able to offer.
You will find precise figures for your car in relation to the worldwide 8er production, exterior colour, upholstery, colour combination and much more.

Each VBS-Report consists of 10 or more pages filled with statistical figures, highlighting almost 100 data points of any given 8-series coupé within the entire production cycle between July 1989 and May 1999.

This report makes full use of the aggregated 30,621 build data sheets, inventoried between 2004 and Fall 2006 and also contains archived image data.

Preview two pages of a sample report:

VBS reports will only be issued to registered and approved owners.

Follow this link to the VBS-R page for in depth information.

The 8Coupe.com team wishes all 8er owners a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.

8,888 8ers in the 8Coupe archive... and more!

A very busy year of the 8Coupe team has led to another milestone - more than 9,000 cars were in the archives at the end of May 2013 and en route in the same month we also passed the "magic" 8er number of 8,888 cars. During the past year and despite one of the major markets, Japan obviously running out of cars, the 8Coupe team managed to find and identify more than 1.000 E31´s previously unaccounted for.

With more than 9,000 cars in the archives we are only a few cars shy of 30% (9187 cars) of…

Oct 1, 2011 - half the 8-series has turned 20

Half the produced E31´s today exceed the age of 20 years. 22 months into the series production but with almost 8 years to go, the majority of 8-series Coupé´s roamed the streets worldwide. The onset of the production for the E31 was very bright but a sharp decline in demand and consequently production numbers late in 1991 reduced the output from a maximum of near 70 cars per working day to only 20 and below in the years to come.

By October 1, 1991 the distribution of cars looked like below - all…
