Vehicle Build Sheet Report - VBS-R - finally available

Just ahead of Santa Claus the 8Coupe.com team has eventually managed to finish a project long in the making.

The Vehicle Build Sheet Report (VBS-R) is filled to the brim with VIN specific unique background information that puts every conceivable statistical aspect for any given 8-series vehicle into a perspective.
The information contained is not available elsewhere and by far surpasses what even the manufacturer would be able to offer.
You will find precise figures for your car in relation to the worldwide 8er production, exterior colour, upholstery, colour combination and much more.

Each VBS-Report consists of 10 or more pages filled with statistical figures, highlighting almost 100 data points of any given 8-series coupé within the entire production cycle between July 1989 and May 1999. 

This report makes full use of the aggregated 30,621 build data sheets, inventoried between 2004 and Fall 2006 and also contains archived image data.

Preview two pages of a sample report:

Preview 1Preview 2

VBS reports will only be issued to registered and approved owners.

Follow this link to the VBS-R page for in depth information.

The 8Coupe.com team wishes all 8er owners a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.

For CB73789 I could not be happier with the results, the information presented is beyond my expectations. To find my my car 1 of 16 in all productions years is mind bogeling.

Please add my thanks to all the appreciative comments. Great report, received overnight. It is amazing to think that over a quarter of all the 8's are logged on to your register. I wonder which other car has such a dedicated following. The BMW 8 series is a real sleeper in the world of collectable cars. By george840ci.

What a great resource!

The attention to detail with regards to the statistics and passion of those involved to bring this information to owners is just fantastic
A superb and worthwhile addition to the car's history.

Thanks for your help!

Professional, accurate, timely, personalized, with statistical data thrown in, and all done by a volunteer!! The information I now have on my 850Ci, compared to what I was able to get from Porsche on my 911, makes the 911 look like it's an orphan.

Great job!

Thank you very much.

Thanks a lot, it made interesting reading and also becomes a valuable part of the vehicle history. The detail was excellent and gives an insight into what was happening with 8 series sales at the time I bought mine in 1998.

Thank you very much for the report. Quite interesting information in there as well as photographs from the time the car was at the UK till the time it was brought to Cyprus.
One thing i want to ask though, is the power value.Power 280 at what type of measurement?

Thanks again for the effort

Thanks so much for the VBS for my car, it was fascinating to learn that it was a show car for the 1997 London Motor Show.

An astonishingly quick response to my request and the report is full of facinating data. Many thanks. I'm delighted to have found this website. With so few 8 series in Australia, I now feel part of a community with a common interest and passion.

This is an excellent document, provided some fascinating info on my car.

All 8 series are rare in the UK, but mine appears to be unique....

Congratulations on an excellent site keeping the big 8 alive....

Thanks for the prompt delivery! Excellent report though unable to read some of the content in the photos on the last page - maybe to do with my IT skills rather than the report itself? I'll get in touch if I cannot resolve!

posted @ Wednesday, January 28, 2015 6:26 PM by Edward


Wonderful! Helps fill in some of the gaps in the history. Same problem as Ed (above). Some of the docs in the photo pages are too small to read and the PDF will not allow me to isolate them and enlarge them. If I enlarge the whole page the docs get blurry. I must not be enough of a computer nerd.

posted @ Sunday, February 22, 2015 6:41 PM by Orrin


Orrin, I contacted Reinhard the registrar directly and he very kindly sent me the full ".pdf" files which allowed me to access all of the information on the report!

posted @ Sunday, February 22, 2015 6:49 PM by Edward


Reinhard has forwarded me a VBS report of some 14 pages which contains some interesting even amazing information. I am very thankful of Reinhard's efforts and the data provided which states I have a unique one of a kind Australian delivered 840Ci M62 Steptronic and one of only 8 globally. For a 17+ year old car its looks and presentation proves its a classic headturner. I had to get a small part from Adelaide BMW last week and the staff were drooling all over it as some had not seen a 8 series before!

Great asset and source of history for my E31. I did not know all of this information was available. A friend works for local
BMW dealer and all he could get was the original build sheet and sticker price.
Thank you, John

Thanks! Great complement to my cars documents!
Fantastic work!

The report provided by Reinhard was detailed and impressive. Information is provided with great detail. It would help if the photos provided could be zoomed but nevertheless the information is great. Will provide some more photos in a few days as some of the photos in the document are wrong.

Great job, great site, brilliant outcome.
Thank you very much.

Thank you very much Reinhard for such a detailed and interesting report. The information is very fascinating and is certainly of great value to me in my efforts to restore my car back to it's former glory. I did send some more pics (Namely the interior of my car) which I hope you received. If not, I will be happy to email them again.

Many thanks once again for your hard work.

Thank you very much Reinhard, great document!
What a great work has been done to produce these statistics, when you think that Bmw is almost unable to tell you how many cars were produced in a specific color....thanks again!
