"The Eighth Sin" book

Seb · 6. August 2008

Just wondering if anyone has ever seen this or might even have a copy? It's a large promotional photo book for the 8 Series made by BMW and I once saw a copy for sale on eBay and managed to miss it by about 20p. Still kicking myself.

The 8th Sin

Hello Seb;

Yes, I have this brochure. It's a re-creation of existing 8er marketing materials with an interesting storyline.

It's a 10 page hard-bound black brochure. I purchased this brochure from a UK-based brochure dealer as part of a large 8er brochure set for the Registry archives. Below are the pictures of cover and one of the pages detailing the 7th sin. The words at the bottom of this page say:

"Desire is the very essence of man."

It is my understanding that this brochure was used by BMW GB to introduce the BMW 840 CiA Sport in 1997 for the Birmingham Auto Show. Very very few were given out by BMW GB and few have survived based on my automotive brochure UK dealer contacts.

This brochure is very difficult to scan or take pictures of because it is fragile and has black backgrounds. It does feature an Arctic Silver 840Ci Sport throughout the brochure.

Hey Jud, why am I not surprised that you've got a copy?! Don't suppose you'd be willing to let it go, or might know who might have a copy or be able to get hold of one? Thanks
