Seller's Notes

This E31-generation BMW 850i is a charismatic and potent modern classic grand tourer, offered with very low mileage. It is powered by a naturally aspirated 5.0-litre ‘M70’ V12, delivering 220kW and 450Nm of torque to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission. The car has had two owners from new, reportedly spending much of its time on display as part of a warehouse-based collection. The odometer shows 10,563 km. This 850i is finished in the ever-popular shade of Alpine White, over a blue leather-trimmed interior. It rides on a set of 16-inch ‘Style 8’ alloy wheels fitted with Bridgestone Turanza ER300 tyres. Equipment includes pop-up headlights, a lift-and-slide electric sunroof, a rear roller blind, an interior mirror with auto-dip, electrically adjustable seats with three-position driver memory, an on-board computer, a cassette stereo with six-CD changer, automatic dual-zone air conditioning, and Automatic Stability Control (ASC). Accompanying the vehicle will be the original handbook and warranty book, a toolkit, a previous auction catalogue, and some newspaper cuttings. The original tyres are also available. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: the heating won’t turn off. In June 2024, the air conditioning was re-gassed by Jordan’s Auto Electrics, and the fuel senders were replaced. New tyres were fitted in May 2024. In February 2024 at 10,478 km, German car specialist G-Spec drained the fuel, and replaced the fuel pumps and filter. The most recent service was performed in November 2000 at 8,159 km, by Alto BMW Artarmon. This E31-generation BMW 850i is a stylish and powerful modern classic grand tourer, offered with low mileage from new. Presented with a timeless Alpine White finish over rich blue leather upholstery, and boasting rakish styling, a potent naturally aspirated V12 and a spacious and comfortable cabin, it would make a fine addition to any collection of modern classics, and a charismatic companion for lavish retro daily driving, weekend cruising, and long-distance road trips alike.

This includes by raising enquiries with the seller in the comments section. For vehicles, unless otherwise stated, potential buyers should also assume that any cherished registration may be retained by the seller. Please see our Terms and Conditions for full details.
