Description : Gateway Classic Cars Houston showroom is proud to present this Alpine White 1991 BMW 850i for sale. Powered by its original drivetrain, which includes the extremely smooth, yet potent for its time, 5.0L V12 and 6-speed manual transmission, this is one awesome boulevard cruiser (that also has Autobahn-speed cruising capability). The V12 is near silent and vibrationless during normal driving conditions, and the 6-speed manual shifts like a hot knife through butter: it's smooth, effortless, and quick. And, speaking of 6-speed manual transmissions - this is one of only 542 (reported) 6-speed manual-equipped 850s built for 1991, which makes it a bit of a rarity.
The gorgeous design of the body is timeless, and few onlookers will know that this car is nearly 30 years old. The BMW 8-series is so attractive that you'll find most valets will want to park this baby right out front so that they (and everyone else) can admire it. Inside, the medium gray leather seats still emanate the amazing aroma of BMW's finest leather, which you'll find intoxicating every time you feel the need to take this investment out for a spin. The carpet looks practically unused, and the overall condition of the interior is very good. This 850i rides on Pirelli P-Zero Rosso high-performance radials that have lots of life left in them - they look nearly new. Up front are P245/35ZR18, and out back are P285/30ZR18 "meats"; all of which are wrapped around some beautiful BMW Aluminum Alloy wheels. This 850i has drilled brake rotors at all 4 corners, which help provide fade-free stops all day long during spirited driving, and the ABS feature provides a measure of confidence during stop-and-go rush hour driving...especially if you have decided to "go retro" and take advantage of the factory-installed cellular phone and become lost in a phone conversation (assuming the analog network is still providing sufficient coverage, that is).
This 850i comes with all the goodies you'd expect in a true luxury car from the early 1990's, and many that you wouldn't expect in a sports luxury car like this one. Air Conditioning, AM/FM/Cassette Radio, Aluminum Wheels, Anti-theft System, Cruise Control, Driver Airbag, Leather Seating, Power Anti-lock Brakes, Power Locks, Power Mirrors, Power Seats, Power Sunroof, Power Windows, Radial Tires, Seat Belts, Spare Tire and Jack, Tilt/Telescopic Steering Wheel, and Trunk Mounted CD Changer.

About BMW

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.
