@Gis It's a 5.4 V12, i', pretty sure. They are a god damn rare car over my side... i might see one a month if i'm lucky, but the amount od 6-series soon makes up for it

A rare and beautiful BMW indeed. I remember some part of the Macca's engine cost more than the V12 banger in the 850..I think it was the air intake.

SPEED: I also saw your post and I though... "they're farking mind readers them JWers". The orientation of the 850i makes it difficult to do a drive by shootings (unless you want to see the ars all the time) ala the way TT does his sightings.
I had to look around so no one'll spot me taking photos of the car. It amazes me how in frame the shots were done seeming I didnt look at the preview on my LCD.

Taking photos from inside my car.  When I saw this car from the rear I was scratching my head thinking "BMW 850i, WTF?" I never heard of the 8 Series from BMW and then I remembered Whalberg's "Italian Job" had a character driving a similar looking car so I just took the snaps away. Heck I even ignored the old MG and Ferrari 355 parked beside it.

Yeah, the E31 is a very hard to come by vehicle. The silver one i posted along with the E24 M6 is still at my shop.
Unfortunatley the 850's only came with an automatic, so if you wanted a maual you would have to go with an 840. they have a very sleek look to them, until you get to the oversized tail lights. But they were a VERY heavy car.
i am really hoping BMW brings the 8 series back. i would love to see what they would do with it, and i'd love to get behind the wheel of an 860Csi  the 760Li already hauls balls, so if they were to drop the N73B60 into something lighter.....::EVIL LAUGH::
