I always liked the look of the FL S8 D2 when it came out but could not find a good enough reason to get one when they were a few years old. I managed to find reasons for (most!) of my others but I felt that the S8 was very similar to the LS400 I bought when I was 31! No bad thing!
Finally succumbed to the S8 'itch' in my mid forties. Took me a while to find one good enough - and for my wife to say "oh just buy it and stop going on about it"!!

Sorry Neil,
Rather a few years younger, it was a MkII about 1994 on a H425 MEV plate. 2.0 DOHC manual 5 speed, limited slip diff, rear wheel drive. I did forget another Opel that I had for a few years, an Opel GT, 1900 aluminium engine, pop up headlights, sort of a Ferrari Dino look alike. Sad bit was within two weeks of selling it I saw it near Manchester Uni in a very battered state.

Registration: 2 WXG (Private plate from 1962 Model: MY 2008 08 3.0TDI Quattro Sport, Black on Black (Transporter Edition) Lowered 60mm on drop link bars. Alloys swapped out to RS6 style 20" x 9.5". It's got full tints on all windows, and has the black leather interior. Remapped by Elite Automotive in Cornwall, giving an increase output to 290bhp/450lbs. Options: Keyless Entry & Start, Bluetooth Hands Free, Quad Zone Climate, 3 Spoke Sports Tiptronic Multi Function Steering Wheel, Black Leather Comfort Seats, AMI, Drivers & Passenger Electric Memory Seats, Auto Dimming Mirrors, Bi-Xenons. Future Plans: Selling my current Audi A8 Quattro Sport and replace is with a newer D4 Audi A8L with the 4.2V8 Twin Turbo setup once again it must be black. I'm looking for one with the options added where it has the rear recliing seats, with heated outers. Bose speakers minimum and B&O's if affordable. Rear and back door sun blinds prefered. Planned Mods: Upon the arrival of my A8L D4, I will be once again having the ECU remapped to a performance setting over economy. Rear Tints as dark as can go whilst also tinting the front windows with a medium tint. Once again I will be purchasing lowering links for the air ride suspension and setting it at 55mm lower when in comfort as my desire rideheight over standard. Alloys will be 21" however the one current most likly to be the next car already has a brand new set of 2016 S8Plus wheels on it.

1st 8 .. 52, last year. First BMW 7 was when I was 35. I think the older population of owners is more about being able to afford it. I did get some stick about it being an old mans car.
Its the same for learning to fly. Most private pilots are in our age range.
