636-600-4600 Another BMW 8 Series (E31) coupe has arrived at
MotoeXotica Classic Cars, this time an 850i. Built at BMW's
Dingolfing, Germany factory, on March 6, 1991, this luxury coupe is
ready to coddle its next owner! This model is one of for North
American export and one of 1,711 examples built in 1991. The same
Californian owner has cherished this car since 2014, spending
thousands of dollars in refurbishment maintenance and upgrades, the
drives with an impressive response and handling. This vehicle left
the line equipped with the following options - Electronic Damper
Control (EDC), leather steering wheel, electric tilt column, alarm,
lumbar support in front seats, provision for factor six-disc CD
changer and preparation for a BMW mobile phone installation.
Finished in Brilliant Red (code 308), the car's paint and trim are
in overall very good order. There are a few blemishes visible on
close inspection. The glass panels are clear and intact and the
car's lights, including the center high-mounted stoplight in the
back window, are in similar condition. The car's bodywork is solid
and straight, its engine bay is tidy, the battery looks good and
the car's integrated bumpers fit well to the rest of the car's
body. This example is one of 83 models exported to North America in
Brilliant Red and it's one of 700 units that came over with a
Parchment Leather interior. This car rolls on new Mayrun MR500
radials, size 245/35ZR19 in front and 275/30ZR19 in back. Each tire
surrounds a new, 19 inch lace-style alloy wheel. Under the hood is
a 5.0L SOHC V-12 engine (code M70B50) backed by a rare Getrag 560G
six-speed manual transmission. The 8 Series offered the first V-12
engine mated to a rarely seen six-speedmanual transmissionon a road
car. It was one of the first vehicles to be fitted with an
electronicdrive-by-wirethrottle and the 8 Series was one of BMW's
first cars, together with theZ1, to use amulti-linkrear axle. This
car has new dual batteries, too. Driver convenience features
include automatic climate control, power steering, power four-wheel
disc brakes with anti-lock, power windows, power locks, power
mirrors, power front seats, cruise control and a metal sunroof.
Inside, the car's Parchment interior (code 356), is brand new in
excellent order. The new front buckets and rear bench seats, the
carpet, new headliner, rear package shelf and interior pillars are
all in excellent order. The four-spoke steering wheel with driver's
airbag, instrument panel with digital gauges and inner door panels
are in a similar condition. Driver power seat is inop. There's even
a BMW mobile phone nestled between the front seats. Rounding off
the interior is a Sony AM/FM stereo with CD player. (No original
radio) While computer-aided design (CAD) modeling allowed the
car'sunibodyto be eight pounds lighter than that of its
predecessor, the car was significantly heavier when completed due
to the large engine and added luxury items�a source of criticism
from those who wanted BMW to concentrate on the driving experience.
Some of the car's weight may have been due to its pillar-less
"hardtop" body style, which lacked a "B" post. Tools and various
books and manuals are included with purchase. Competition to this
BMW in 1991 included Acura's NSX, Aston Martin's Virage,
Chevrolet's Corvette, Dodge Stealth R/T Twin Turbo, Ferrari's 348
TB, Mercedes-Benz's SL 500, Nissan's 300ZX and Porsche's 944 S2. If

college, why not come by MotoeXotica Classic Cars today and check
