19910000 BMW 8-Series Luxury Sport Coupe

For sale is my timeless beauty. I am the second owner of this 850i and it has been in my possession since 2000. It has spent it's entire life in California and Arizona up until a year ago when I had it professionally shipped to Florida. She is totally rust and corrosion free. The 850i is a true hardtop as it has no "B" pillar to break up it's smooth lines when the windows are rolled down. This is the only BMW that I know of that is a hardtop.
The BMW 8 series which included the 835, 840 and 850 was produced for only 10 years with a total output of less than 25k units. That translates to less than 2.5k units per year making this a hand built and very limited auto.
The 850i was a quantum leap in technology when introduced as it was the first production car to have a CAN computer system to control all aspects and functions of the vehicle. One of my favorite things to see happen is when the 850 hits 100 M.P.H. all of the windows and sunroof automatically close.
I can recommend an excellent shipping service upon request.
The good:* No body damage for the exception of a minute ding or two that you would be hard pressed to find.* Beautifully smooth engine and drive train.* Stainless steel MagnaFlow mufflers installed. The car was so quiet that I wasn't sure if it was running. Now it has just enough 12 cylinder sound to know it is special without being annoyingly loud.* Newer brakes with drilled rotors on all four corners.* H&R progressive rate lowering springs.* Limited production custom built Greg Kovecse sway bars and links.* Prior to installing the springs and bars she was a wallowing understeering pig around corners as BMW set up the 850 to be it's 150+M.P.H. Autobahn cruiser not a corner carver. Now she has been transformed into a very well handling road car with good manners in all driving situations.* The man who built the custom sway bars (Greg Kovecse) had his shop across the street fromthe Toyota TRD race teams shop. They allowed him to put her on theirchassis alignment fixture. The results were that this 850 chassis was thestraightest example he had ever worked on.* 18" Mille Miglia staggered fitment wheels and Michelintires.* Original 16" wheels and BMW analog phone included if you are willing to pay for shipping from California.* Ice cold air conditioning with dual zone climate control. Just converted to 134a refrigerant and completely serviced at a cost of $2,000.* Beautiful undamaged gray leather interior with minor color scuffing on drivers side bolster. Can be easily repaired with ColorBond interior coloring.* The digital information systems have just been serviced and work perfectly.* The radio and CD player work as designed.* Professionally tinted windows with 3M tint film.* Custom made 850i floor mats and original mats.* Always properly maintained with Mobil 1 every 3k miles. Always garage kept and never abused.* New fuel pumps and feed hoses installed. If the pump feed hoses have never been replaced it is a fireball waiting to happen. Up until a few years ago the gasoline contained MTBE which caused the rubber to become brittle. If you don't buy my car at least know to ask or visually check the pump feed hoses for your own safety. The pumps are located under the rear seats.* Custom fit car cover.* 2 new Optima batteries with Battery Tenders attached.* Many new parts and trim pieces with some spares available.
The bad:* The paint on the hood and headlight doors are beginning to craze. All other paint on the car is in very good condition. This is a very common problem.* The passenger side mirror only operates in the up and down motion.* The mirror in the drivers sun visor is broken but can be easily replaced.* The power seats need to be serviced as the drive cables have come loose from their mounts which allows the cables to go out of sync with each other thereby causing the seats to misadjust. This is a very common malady and if you are handy with tools you can repair this in an afternoon.* The Michelin tires are far from worn out but they are out of date so they should be replaced sooner than later.
