Car Information and Specifications

The BMW 850i, renamed 850Ci in 1993, is one of those rare cars whose presence commands a certain reverence. Its tapered, sculpted profile perpetuates classic BMW themes while subtly communicating the awesome potential of the V-12 that lies beneath its hood. This is a car that longs for the Autobahn, where the turbine-like thrust of its 296-bhp output can whine to its heart's content. Such is the V-12's torque reserve that it can poke along in the top gear of its 6-speed manual transmission at nearly any speed without lugging. The 6-speed is perfectly grated and weighed, and the spacing of its ratios are such that 65 mph requires only 1800 rpm...the 850Ci is targeted at the rare enthusiast who can appreciate its specialized virtues. Few--if any--rivals can deliver such a combination of styling, handling and performance.

Introduced in 1990, the 8 series was BMW's product for the luxury sport coupe market. The 850CSi was discontinued in 1997 and the series ended in 1999.
