the 8 is great in the snow and ice, you really dont notice it much at all, first time for me i couldnt understand why all around me were driving so slowly, seemed to slow even for the conditions, i was driving normally as if it wasnt there at all, then realised it was the 4 wheel drive, specially compared to the 3 series bmw which arent that great even when you turn the asp off.
I started collecting bits for it, wanted to do it really cheaply which would be possible if a bonnet could have been found, that bonnet would have decided which bumper would be required, too late now though. At first i thought the D4 had less character than previous models but ive come round to it, and with the reveiws from Singh on how great it was and the way the prices are going at the moment its an option for me now

theres different bonnets for the different years facelifts
ha ha - ive always been into beamers and i really wanted a 7 series too, the interior of the latest shape is quite nice but was out of my price range at the time, but the one before, my god it reminds me of tutankamans tomb, the D3s interior is spectacular in a refined uncluttered way. and so well put together

i believe in our shape that the w12 differs slight with the bonnet, but on facelift all the bonnets are the same to go with the facelift bumper. only difference is the grill style, as in the chrome lasyout, s8 like mine have the chrome strips verticall, w12 are horizontol. haha well my first bmw was an m3 for this summer and tbh i hate all other bmw's there not upto standard unless your buying a m3 or m5 which are fully loaded top of the range. i wanted to get a 7 series when i was looking, but i found this instead, the 7 series are massive but interior let me down a lot, thats why i choose the a8, plus the a8 i could facelift it, so did my reasearch before i bought it, so i got the looks the luxry and the performance all in one no other make could compare. tbh i just love my vw' and audis. i want a lambo for the summer |

theres the 2006 then the 2008, slightly different bumpers i thought the bonnets were also slightly different
the W12 came with the single grill all along, which came in on the later 2005 cars, mines early, good job in doing the homework , i didnt do nearly enough, didnt realise how many options there were, i wont make that mistake with the d4 i want a ferrari california for the summer but it seems unlikely unless theres a lottery win

Yes W12 came with a single grill from 2004 to 2010 when they stopped and the D4 was born
i do like the S8 front end and if an S8 front end came up in black i would have it and keep the W12 grill in a S8 bumper just to add that edge and extra lines of the S8 bumper |
