Default Ever seen a 850CSi
Has anyone ever seen a BMW 850CSi? I saw one parked at Va. Western. Black on black with huge factory BMW wheels. Does anyone know how rare this car is in the united states? It was a E30 year body.

I hated those things when they first came out (even though they are V12 powered). Now that BMW has ruined the looks of their cars, I really like it.

I love the 8 series. They look like a mix between a ferrari and a bimmer. My friend had a white one but it was in poor running condition. I saw a red one here in Hampton but I haven't seen it in a long time.

Hmm... I thought they were V12's. Didn't they make a V12 at one point?

You are correct sir. I think the 850 had a v12. Not too sure. My friend's was a v12 though.
