Unveiled as its new flagship model for 1991, BMW’s 850i was a grand touring coupe with either a V-8 or a V-12 under the hood. This is one of 1,711 850i models exported to the U.S. in 1991, one of 241 or 11 percent of 850i models finished in this color and it is one of the first mass-production vehicles to use a drive-by-wire throttle. This car was sold new at Roadshow BMW in Memphis Tennessee then spent most of its ownership in Dallas TX and only has 90,404 actual miles!
Made in BMW’s Dingolfing, Germany in February 1991, this car is finished in Sterling Silver (code 244). Its paint and trim are in overall very good order, with some minor blemishes visible upon close inspection.
The car’s bodywork is solid, the engine bay is extremely tidy, the cargo bay is in very good shape and comes with a nearly complete tool roll and the battery appears in good order. The state of the car’s body-colored bumpers echoes the rest of the exterior.
This car rolls on radials, size 235/35ZR19 in front and 275/30ZR19 in back. Each tire is wrapped around an ACR 10-spoke, two-tone spider wheels.
Under the hood is BMW’s 5.0L SOHC V-12 motor (code M70B50). It’s a 60-degree engine with an aluminum alloy engine block, aluminum cylinder heads, electronic throttle control, mass airflow sensors, timing chains and hydraulic valve lifters. Backing this engine is a ZF 4HP24 four-speed automatic transmission. Driver convenience features include a solid sunroof, automatic climate control, trip computer, fog lights, cruise control, power steering, power four-wheel disc brakes, power windows, power locks, power mirrors, power front seats with heat and memory functions but the passenger seat power seat does not operate in the up or down position. The model is one of BMW’s first to feature a multi-link rear axle.
Inside, the car’s Marine Blue Nappa leather interior is in sharp contrast to its argent exterior and it’s one of 89 850i models so upholstered. The front bucket seats and rear bench are in overall very good condition. The driver’s seat, particularly on the side bolsters, shows signs of previous enjoyment, which translates to some minimal wear. The matching carpet and headliner are in very good order as well, giving the vehicle a soothing presence. The car’s four-spoke steering wheel has an airbag. The car’s instrument panel and inner door panels look great, as does the center console. The car has an Alpine AM/FM stereo with a Pioneer six-disc CD changer.
Competition to this 850i in 1991 included Aston Martin’s Virage, Chevrolet’s Corvette, Dodge’s Stealth R/T, Honda’s NSX, Mazda’s RX-7, Mitsubishi’s 3000GT, Nissan’s 300ZX, Porsche’s 944 S2 and Toyota’s Supra.
Taking the V-12 motor and automatic transmission from the 750iL sedan, BMW used them as building blocks for its 8-series coupe, putting them under a sleek, two-door body with pop-up headlights and an interior that oozed luxury in the early 1990s.
Documentation includes original owner’s manual with maintenance stamps dating from the fall of 1992, original consumer warranty information, original authorized service directory, original roadside assistance and other information.

About BMW

ChatGPT
Bayerische Motoren Werke, commonly known as BMW, has a rich history dating back to its founding in 1916. Initially established as an aircraft-engine manufacturer during World War I, BMW faced restrictions on aircraft production after the war. In response, the company shifted its focus to motorcycle production in 1923, marking the beginning of its involvement in the automotive industry. Subsequently, BMW entered the world of automobiles in 1928 by producing the DIXI, essentially a licensed version of the Austin 7 from the Austin Motor Company.

In the 1930s, BMW began to establish itself as a manufacturer of elegant and high-performance vehicles. One notable model from this era is the BMW 327, introduced in 1937. The 327 was available as both a coupe and a cabriolet, showcasing the brand's commitment to luxury and style. Additionally, BMW achieved success in sports car racing during this period, particularly with the BMW 328. The 328, which debuted in 1936, became renowned for its performance and aerodynamics. BMW campaigned the 328 in various racing events, including the prestigious Mille Miglia, where the company introduced several aerodynamic specials.

The post-war era proved challenging for BMW, and the company faced financial difficulties that nearly led to bankruptcy. However, BMW managed to recover and rebuild, eventually becoming one of the leading premium automotive brands globally.

As the 1960s unfolded, BMW further solidified its reputation for producing sports-oriented and luxurious vehicles. In 1968, the BMW 2002 was introduced, marking the birth of the "New Class" of compact, sporty sedans. The 2002 gained popularity for its agile handling and performance, laying the foundation for BMW's sporty image.

Moving into the 1970s, BMW expanded its lineup with the introduction of the E9 platform, which included the iconic BMW 3.0 CS coupe. The E9 series showcased BMW's commitment to blending performance and luxury. In 1972, the M1, BMW's first mid-engined sports car, made its debut. The M1 was initially developed as a racing car but later became a road-going model. The M1 laid the groundwork for BMW's high-performance M series.

In the late 1970s, the BMW E24 6 Series was introduced, offering a combination of luxury and performance. The 6 Series included models like the 630CS, 633CSi, and 635CSi, becoming a symbol of sophistication and driving pleasure.

Through these milestones and a commitment to innovation and performance, BMW has evolved into a powerhouse in the automotive industry, maintaining its status as one of the leading premium brands worldwide.
