New member from So. Cal

Just want to say "Hi!" to everyone. I'm a proud owner of a '94 840 based in Yorba Linda California. I have worked for BMW in Oxford a few years ago and just by seeing the quality of the Minis during production made me appreciate BMWs even more and made me want to get one. So the 8 was my first BMW. I bought it used in Feb. of 02 but did extensive research and test drove numerous 8s. Since then, I have always babied my 840.

I would like to know if there are any 8 series meets in So. California since I do see quite a few here. Also, How do I create a profile for myself with an icon on this site. One last question, how can I find out if my 840 is an "i" or "Ci?" From what many dealers have told me, and internet sources, that there were no "i's" in the U.S. Can anyone please confirm? Sorry for all the questions...but I'm new this site.

Thanks,

John P.

Thanks! Would you know if the ZeeMax kit and boot spoiler are still available? I have a friend in England that has been trying to locate one for me but was not successful. Any leads would be appreciated.

Cheers,

John

I will have a quick look for you.

May i reccommend asking in the UK specific section?

Thanks! What do you think about an M5 style lip for the rear boot? I may want to make a custom one.

Im finding it hard to picture it, i guess it could be done.

Personally, i am not a fan of anything on the rear boot. I think it spoils the lines of the car and this is why i have never put anything on the back of mine.

That is so true! That is why I don't have one either...but if I can design one that compliments the nice body lines, then I'll put one on.

Will do Al! Any comments on my post on the diff upgrade on the modified thread?

Regards,

John

I dont think im technologically minded enough to be honest. There has been enough talk about the diff upgrade though. Do a forum search for the best results.

Thanks Al! Wow, there is so much useful info on this site!
