overall it's a great car that got looks of an exotic
i'm from baltimore as well and i've seen only 3 8-series driving around in the past 5 years
since it's so rare, when something breaks, prepare to spend a lot of money. Does it often break? it's just like with any other car. Some 8's break often, some don't break at all - best way is to look at mantainance records. (even if you're buying from the dealer doesn't mean it's in top shape)
The engine itself can go well north of 200k if taken proper mantainance of. The bmw treats you the way you treat it - take care, everything should be fine.
Since the car is at 80k, LOOK AT EVERYTHING that has been chagned. 60-100k a lot of parts have to be replaced, so if none were, prepare to drop another $5000!!!!
