In the mid-nineties Koenig-Specials based out of Munich Germany offered an aggressive bodykit for the BMW 8 Series known as the KS8. It included a front skirt, large fender flares and a rear wing, however, Koenig also offered a comprehensive program to upgrade almost the entire car. One of these was ordered in black for inclusion in the Sultan of Brunei's collection.

Some of these cars received an upgraded intake system complete with supercharger. The base 850i was upgraded to 450 bhp while the 850CSi reached 510 bhp. The conversion included a supercharger, new engine management, an intercooler and added €35,279 to the price of the conversion.

The added performance gave the 8 series a top speed close to 200 mph (310 kph) depending on wheel size. An optional sport axle offered better acceleration, but limited top speed to about 175 mph (285 kph).

Complete conversions included a Koenig sports exhaust, aluminum multi-piece wheels, a sports suspension with new shocks and springs. A convertible model was also offered with an electro-hydrualic automatic soft top.

Beautiful car, but I'd rather enjoy it from a distance. I can't imagine how annoying that v12 could be if it was built.

My dad had an 850 csi for about a month. Besides the fact the car was insanely beautiful, and fun as hell to drive; it was a complete peice of shit. He calculated that it cost him about $450 a mile to drive the car. Needless to say, he sold it and bought his second nsx.

I've never seen this version before though, looks awesome.

Haha they are pretty shitty. Not even THAT fast, the manual ones are but I drove a auto 850 and it was slow as hell, I mean for what you expect a BMW supercar to be, it was slow.

A kid use to bring one into the shop I worked at almost weekly.

They are sexy though.

go snap a photo of it with your cellphone or anything, if you can afford that than you have a camera somewhere. In your garage or driveway with the time and date on it...(or screen name)

until that happens you are completely full of shit.
