On the look out for length and width (mm) for the classic 8 series coupes. Need to know if one will fit in my garage!

Have googled but can't find nowt!

Cheers,

Steve

Thanks very much, Steve smile Will have to get the tape measure out but gut feeling says the car is a bit on the wide side for my mere space. Wish us luck!

Cheers,

Steve

PS - is the width inclusive of the mirrors or not?

Thanks again!

OK, chaps. Will keep you informed but just to illustrate how tight my current garage is, here's a pic of my previous Boxster snuggled up inside:



I have managed to get a current shape CLK in there and I could just get out of that through the door, so I live in hope!

Anyone know anything about the Avus blue 840 Sport that Sprint has advertised in the classifieds? God, it looks lush...

Job38 - that's promising. Do you know how deep 8 series doors are? The 986/996 doors are quite 'thick' due to the shape as can be seen above which makes quite a bit of difference when entering/exiting. Will stick the E34 in at lunchtime to check length..

Ed - ok but less pies = more beers wink

Zak - many thanks, much appreciated smile

Excellent stuff, Job38 bow

Snap on the colour (almost!).
