Living with a legend
4.88 out of 5 starsAcapulco, 02/21/2009
1991 BMW 8 Series 850i 2dr Coupe
Painted in non-factory Lamborghini yellow and with M5 18 inch "parallel" chrome rims, it looks simply stunning. Since I live in Acapulco, my son living in San Diego keeps the BMW garaged and serviced. The 850 is driven every other day, and I personally get to use it for a week every two months or so. There are few cars for any amount of money, that offer this fabulous driving experience. … A real head-turner, even in La Jolla people just stop and stare. The rear seat, once you get in, is extremely comfortable, and regularly drive around with 4 passengers. The 850 is so quiet and stable that it is easy to go 100 MPH without noticing. In Sport Mode, performance is awesome.

1991 BMW 8 Series 850i 2dr Coupe
This is one powerful and beautiful
driving machine. However as any car
that started out with a price tag of
80+ grand, you are going to have to
keep some cash in the bank for upkeep.
Forget about gas mileage, the car loves
to drink like a college frat boy.
However, you should see peoples faces
when you zoom by them at 150 mph. It
makes it all worth while. The … valet's
love it as well. Not a car for the
broke.

1991 BMW 8 Series 850i 2dr Coupe
I was a little concerned about
maintenance costs of what was once a
very expensive car going on 13 years
old, but I have been very surprised.
Very solid, reliable, and what a head
turner. Decent fuel economy for a V12
at about 18 mpg with the 6 speed
manual.

1991 BMW 8 Series 850i 2dr Coupe
Fifteen after the production of my BMW 850i-V12-sixspeed, appreciation for this vehicle continues to grow. Over the years of having several new vehicles, import & domestic, none have deserved or earned the rights to a parking spot in my garage like the 850i. This vehicle was so advanced for its time that until recent years many manufacturers couldn't or didn't offer options that were … standard on all 850s. Undoubtedly, given advancements in engineering & technology, the modern car will improve. Faster, lighter, more frills on the dash to play with... But nothing compares to the sound and feel you get when behind the wheel of 4500 lb coupe, roaring V12 engine, & winding open road. Nothing!!!
