    I almost bought a used black 850 i Schnitzer in 1997 for 32,000 Deutsch Marks. Waited a few days and when I came back, it was gone. Oh how I regret this to this day. And a friend of mine`s Mom had a 840 in petrol green. I was always envious.

    One of the coolest cars in existence. Pretty rare here in the states, and for around $10k - I don't think there's anything cooler

      You're right. Looked long for the '94 that I just bought. Body-perfect Calif car for $5k!

    Why would anyone go for the v8 over the v12? I think is stupid. The v12 engine is a jewel.

    • @kingprone7846
      @kingprone7846 Před 4 lety +2

      the V8 stood the test of time, the v12 unfortunately didn't. Modern V8s are shitty coz they are overengineered and crammed into a tiny 5 series bonnet, hence the bad reputation. But the V8 E31 with a manual gearbox is still a great everyday driver today. The V12 is not.

    • @lindsyebanks7220
      @lindsyebanks7220 Před 4 lety +2

      The V12 850CSi comes only with the manual gearbox & overshadows the regular 850 V12 & V8 even in their manual guise. I would select the V8 auto for everyday driving- only because of my preference for auto and ease but for a more fun engaging drive, I would select the 380 BHP 850CSi any day. The V12 back in the day did not get a great reception in the UK market hence their limited appeal at the time. But now most collectors/enthusiasts aren’t worried about fuel economy etc as normal drives them mush and do for the V12 where possible.

    This guy in the video looks like the villain that high-jacked the jet in the Bruce Willis, Die Hard movie. What' his fuckin' name? Sorry, brain fart.
    He said that auto tranny slush box was "heaven." He'd shit his britches if he drove a modern car with a DCT, for damn sure. Beautiful car nonetheless. I just wished the bigger Bimmers handled like the 3 Series. That's my only quibble with my '09 E60 M5. It just isn't "light on it's feet."

    i want an 840 swapped out with a 5.0l v6
