BMW 850 CSi 1994
General description :
When one thinks of BMW, they generally envision well-rounded sedans and plush SUVs. But every now and then the fine folks in Munich throw caution to the wind and create a car that's so edgy it's almost exotic. The product of eight years of development, BMW's original 8 Series caused such a stir that it set a precedent for the brand moving forward. This Orient Blue Metallic 850CSi, one of only 14 shipped to North America, combines 5.6 liters of V12 power with a tough 6-speed, aggressive bodywork and plush luxury to become the ULTIMATE expression of the Ultimate Driving Machine. And if you're searching for a cool modern car that's fun to look at, a blast to drive and virtually guaranteed to be a highly exclusive collectible, it's a super clean survivor that's just your style!
EXCLUSIVE AESTHETICS
There's just something about a BMW that conveys the perfect combination of aggressive performance and excellent driving dynamics; and this rare coupe, dressed in a great looking coat of original Orient Blue flash, puts a sophisticated twist on a timeless favorite. Assembled at BMW's Dingolfing manufacturing facility, the car's pillarless profile is straight, solid and still feels inspired even 25 years after its debut. Fit and finish are the typical high quality stuff you'd expect on a German automaker's flagship model. Top-option CSi trim adds M-inspired bumpers, aggressive sills and revised exhaust outlets. And today, this awesome survivor rolls as a cool modern classic that participated in the 2016 Pinehurst Concours d'Elegance.
WORLD BEATING PERFORMANCE
One lift of the hood is all it takes to throw the subtle, suit-and-tie nature of this BMW's sleek exterior right out the driver's window. Wedged perfectly between the car's fenders, 5.6 liters of S70B56 V12 turns stout 9.8 to 1 compression into an impressive 375 horsepower and 406 lb./ft. of smooth torque. Tuned so much over its 850CS brethren, that it warranted a brand new 'S' engine code exclusively reserved for BMW's flagship M cars and would also serve as the foundation for the McLaren F1 S70/2 V12. That mill employs innovations like a larger bore, lighter pistons, Bosch Motronic 1.7 fuel injection and a variable rev limiter. Speaking of revs, power flows through a requisite Getrag Type E 6-speed, which spins a limited-slip differential around friendly, 2.93 gears. That hearty drivetrain rides a factory-spec CSi suspension that mixes Automatic Stability Control with stiffer shocks, shorter springs and Motorsport-spec hubs. Speed-sensitive power steering sports a 15%-reduced ratio, in typical CSi fashion. Stops are provided by four power-assisted discs, which clamp four 12.8-inch rotors. Spent gases traverse large-diameter exhaust. And everything rolls on forged M System II "Throwing Star" wheels, which spin staggered Michelin Pilot Sports.
ALL CONQUERING LUXURY
Pull the BMW Motorsport door handles and you'll find attractive Nappa leather that complements glowing Yew trim. Heated and power-operated seats feature three memory settings for the car's driver. CSi red needle telemetry points at a 180 MPH CSi-spec speedo and a CSi-spec graduated redline tach. A Motorsport-themed shifter toggles between 12-speaker audio, dual-zone climate control and a rocker for the car's Sport and Komfort throttle settings. Clean carpet flows to Motorsport sills, which found intricate side panels in front of a duo of tinted power mirrors and a quartet of quick power windows. And the driver spins a leather-wrapped and Motorsport-stitched steering wheel around a tilting and telescoping column.
Exclusive and extremely potent, this slick BMW is a no-compromises exercise in sophisticated German performance. Even down to the the M car 'WBS' VIN; the 850CSi is the M8 that was never built and this one is likely one of the best survivors in existence. Looking for a modern cruiser that's attractive, streetable and poised to become a future classic? Here's your Ultimate Driving Machine!

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.
