In the mid-nineties #KoenigSpecials based out of #Munich #Germany offered an aggressive bodykit for the BMW #e31 8 Series known as the #KS8. It included a front skirt, large fender flares and a rear wing, however, #Koenig also offered a comprehensive program to upgrade almost the entire car. One of these was ordered in black for inclusion in the #Sultan of Brunei's collection.
Some of these cars received an upgraded intake system complete with #supercharger. The base #850i was upgraded to 450 bhp while the #850CSi reached 510 bhp. The conversion included a #supercharger, new engine management, an intercooler and added €35,279 to the price of the conversion.
The added #performance gave the #8series a top speed close to 200 mph (310 kph) depending on wheel size. An optional sport axle offered better acceleration, but limited top speed to about 175 mph (285 kph).
Complete #conversions included a #Koenig #sports exhaust, aluminum multi-piece wheels, a sports #suspension with new shocks and springs. A convertible model was also offered with an electro-hydrualic automatic soft top.
