The product of almost ten years of research and development at a
cost of over 1.5 billion DM, the 8 Series was aimed at a different
market and priced accordingly, introducing BMW buyers to an
unmatched level of performance and luxury. Added to the BMW 8
Series line-up in 1992, the 850 CSi became the top-performance
offering for the Munich marque's E31 generation.
Powered by an enlarged version of the 850 Ci's V-12 that was bored
out to 5.6 litres, the high-spec model featured lighter pistons,
forged crankshaft and a freer-flowing exhaust. The resulting
product produced 375 horsepower and was capable of reaching 100
km/h from a standstill in just 5.7 seconds. It also featured a
revised suspension setup to harness the extra power, featuring a
lower stance and stiffer springs and dampers. The steering was
modified with a quicker ratio, and reassuringly, the brakes were
uprated with floating ventilated discs. Even the wing mirrors were
resculpted to improve aerodynamics, alongside reshaped front and
rear bumpers. Naturally, it was only offered with a manual
six-speed gearbox so as not to dilute the driving experience. Just
1,510 850 CSis were built, and great examples like this are highly
sought after by collectors.
Chassis 0299, this well-specified, extraordinarily preserved and
highly serviced 850CSi (both of which are not common in 850s)
offers an exciting opportunity for Roundel admirers to acquire an
exceptional example of one most desirable BMW of the era. With
relatively low miles of 127k km's approximately 79k miles this
collector owned and well cared for 850CSi is available now for
worldwide purchase and delivery from our Houston, Texas
showroom.
