Used 1994 BMW 850 for sale in Charlotte, NC

When one thinks of BMW, they generally envision well-rounded sedans and plush SUVs. But every now and then the fine folks in Munich throw caution to the wind and create a car that's so edgy it's almost exotic. The product of eight years of development, BMW's original 8 Series caused such a stir that it set a precedent for the brand moving forward. This Orient Blue Metallic 850CSi, one of only 14 shipped to North America, combines 5.6 liters of V12 power with a tough 6-speed, aggressive bodywork and plush luxury to become the ULTIMATE expression of the Ultimate Driving Machine. And if you're searching for a cool modern car that's fun to look at, a blast to drive and virtually guaranteed to be a highly exclusive collectible, it's a super clean survivor that's just your style! EXCLUSIVE AESTHETICS There's just something about a BMW that conveys the perfect combination of aggressive performance and excellent driving dynamics; and this rare coupe, dressed in a great looking coat of original Orient Blue flash, puts a sophisticated twist on a timeless favorite. Assembled at BMW's Dingolfing manufacturing facility, the car's pillarless profile is straight, solid and still feels inspired even 25 years after its debut. Fit and finish are the typical high quality stuff you'd expect on a German automaker's flagship model. Top-option CSi trim adds M-inspired bumpers, aggressive sills and revised exhaust outlets. And today, this awesome survivor rolls as a cool modern classic that participated in the 2016 Pinehurst Concours d'Elegance. WORLD BEATING PERFORMANCE One lift of the hood is all it takes to throw the subtle, suit-and-tie nature of this BMW's sleek exterior right out the driver's window. Wedged perfectly between the car's fenders, 5.6 liters of S70B56 V12 turns stout 9.8 to 1 compression into an impressive 375 horsepower and 406 lb./ft. of smooth torque. Tuned so much over its 850CS brethren, that it warranted a brand new 'S' engine code exclusively reserved for BMW's flagship M cars and would also serve as the foundation for the McLaren F1 S70/2 V12. That mill employs innovations like a larger bore, lighter pistons, Bosch Motronic 1.7 fuel injection and a variable rev limiter. Speaking of revs, power flows through a requisite Getrag Type E 6-speed, which spins a limited-slip differential around friendly, 2.93 gears. That hearty drivetrain rides a factory-spec CSi suspension that mixes Automatic Stability Control with stiffer shocks, shorter springs and Motorsport-spec hubs. Speed-sensitive power steering sports a 15%-reduced ratio, in typical CSi fashion. Stops are provided by four power-assisted discs, which clamp four 12.8-inch rotors. Spent gases traverse large-diameter exhaust. And everything rolls on forged M System II "Throwing Star" wheels, which spin staggered Michelin Pilot Sports. ALL CONQUERING LUXURY Pull the BMW Motorsport door handles and you'll find attractive Nappa leather that complements glowing Yew trim. Heated and power-operated seats feature three memory settings for the car's driver. CSi red needle telemetry points at a 180 MPH CSi-spec speedo and a CSi-spec graduated redline tach. A Motorsport-themed shifter toggles between 12-speaker audio, dual-zone climate control and a rocker for the car's Sport and Komfort throttle settings. Clean carpet flows to Motorsport sills, which found intricate side panels in front of a duo of tinted power mirrors and a quartet of quick power windows. And the driver spins a leather-wrapped and Motorsport-stitched steering wheel around a tilting and telescoping column. Exclusive and extremely potent, this slick BMW is a no-compromises exercise in sophisticated German performance. Even down to the the M car 'WBS' VIN; the 850CSi is the M8 that was never built and this one is likely one of the best survivors in existence. Looking for a modern cruiser that's attractive, streetable and poised to become a future classic? Here's your Ultimate Driving Machine!
