1994 BMW 8 Series Review

Edmunds' Expert Review
by the Edmunds Experts
What’s new
Two new models are introduced to the 8 Series: the 840Ci and the 850CSi. The 840Ci has the same V8 found in the 740 and 540. The 850CSi gets an increased displacement V12 that offers a whopping 372 horsepower. The CSi comes standard with a sports suspension and a six-speed manual transmission. Unfortunately, the introduction of the CSi takes away from the sportiness of the 850Ci, which is now saddled with a four-speed automatic as the only transmission choice.

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.

THE BEST OF THE BEST!
4.75 out of 5 starscarguyeleven, 02/02/2003
1993 BMW 8 Series 850Ci 2dr Coupe
I have owned several sports cars;
Corvette, Porsche, Supra, and a 740il
BMW. After driving this car I was
astounded by the handling, comfort and
feeling of safety behind a car weighing
over 4 thousand pounds and having a
12cylinder engine in front of me. The
car flat moves and handles like a
dream. The definition of a weekend car.
I personaly like toys on a car, lots of …
options and gages, this car was like
Disneyland for me. If you haven't
driven one of these do it just for fun.
You'll love it!
One hot ride!

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.
