hey can someone add the 8-series BMW as a new row? i think it should be on there- it wasnt as popular or common as the 3 or 7 but it did exist. i dont know the coding very well on WIKI so i dont really know how, but i really think the 8 series should be on there as its own row. it was the flagship model of the company according to the wiki page. currently it is listed in the Supercar/GT row as "E31", but there was a whole line of them and it really should have its own row.
in case you didnt know - BMW_8_Series

Note that the start and end dates of each model are difficult to represent exactly in the table. Due to the layout, one cannot nicely represent one model ending production in the same year its replacement starts. Also, unless the simplicity of the table layout is compromised, more significant overlaps cannot be represented (e.g. the cabrio and touring models of the E30 continuing in production for two years after the E36 had been introduced). I have generally used the date of the new model's introduction. Thus, we should expect people to refer to the particular model pages for full details of a model's lifespan. For people that wish to check the dates I've used are correct, and fix them, please use date of start of production, rather than "model years" or the date at which the car was first presented at a motor show or to the press.

Sfoskett also suggests we decide "whether to include generation-specific info on the Series page or on the E page". Let's have that discussion here, for want of a better place.

The Lowest traction, extreme tail flick, extreme slide, over 100 l/100km in BMW series all by wider rear track than front track chassis.

Twin power turbo petrol engines all : over 100 l/100km, easy wreck.

No one care.
