1992 BMW 8-Series Coupe

The 8-Series, or E31 as BMW refers to it, was first unveiled at the International Motor Show in Frankfurt in 1989. While some people believe it to be a successor to the E24 6-Series, it was aimed higher than that, a flagship coupe above even the 7-Series. A new 850i cost around US $100,000 in 1992.

What the car did get from the 7-Series was its top-level 5.0-liter V12 engine first deployed on the 750i. The horsepower numbers don't seem that impressive now, especially from a V12, but they wereimpressive in their day. The motor also formed the basis for the power plant of the McLaren F1, a contribution that can't be ignored.

BMW's familiar "twin-kidney" grille was also installed, but the hidden headlamps was a feature never seen on BMW in the U.S. The BMW 850i coupe is truly something special, with a V12 engine producing some 300 hp and a top speed of 186 mph. The engine itself is barely audible. No roaring, no screaming, just a soft, pleasant hum. The 850i was created with a sportier character, but driving a BMW 850i is relaxing as in no other car.

The car was exceptionally well-maintained by me and the previous Florida owner, always garage kept, waxed and pampered. I just returned from a trip to Pennsylvania and note that the car performed perfectly and is a real pleasure to drive on road trips, including the Blue Ridge Parkway. Highway MPG was about 20-21.This BMW is also a real attention-getter as there were only about 8,000 produced during their nine year production period. There is a 6-disk CD changer in the trunk, original tool kit, full-size spare tire, two recently new batteries (big guys),and owner's manual. Closing on a newer Porsche 911 and only have a 2-car garage.
