      Have you considered isolating? I'm not sure if I should phone my work tomorrow and tell them I'm going to isolate. I don't get payed if I'm not at work but I have some savings I could survive on for a few months.

    Early 90's (1990 to 1999) when the 8's came out. They were truly stunning cars. I recall an "840i" with the V8 parking next to us one evening and my uncle (RIP), my dad (RIP) and myself spent the next 10 to 15 minutes looking over it to the owners obvious enjoyment of owning such a stunningly gorgeous looking car.
    And your 850i with just 80,000 miles!!?? That's only just run in that V12 :-))... Less than 2,700 miles per year!!

    The interior on this is like peak 90s BMW, buttons for everything! And the seats are really handsome with the light leather. Black interiors on these feel really claustrophobic, you need a bit of lightness.

    OMG Calvin you gone and done it! I love this car, it’s the only BMW I’ve felt this way about. Funnyly I’ve never driven or sat in one but I know why it caught my attention. 1996/97 uni years a girl I had a crush on was dating a chap who had a black 850i which killed my moves so I’ve never forgotten that. I’d buy it in a heartbeat off you if I could mate.

    This video was amazing mate. It brought so many memories of my childhood lol.
    I have wanted one of these since 1989 (when my dad bought me a poster of one). It’s basically my dream car.
    My dad had a brilliant red with black leather 1992 850i back in the early 90s. I remember him flooring it down the country lanes with is music playing so loud. My brother and I had to be squashed into the back seats, as there was no legroom.
    I hope that one day when I move back to England, that can get one. They are quite exspensive in russia.

    Love the looks of the 850, in the Future this Car will get kinda like the same status as a Testarossa, and check the prizes on the Classic 850, crazy high !
    Also love the V12, but it is too much a Hassle in many ways compared to a V8.
    These 850s are Collectors stuff, and deserve to be, a Great and Unique BMW.
    Nice and honest Review , Thanks!

We had 840s mostly, but once in a while an enthusiast would come and order the beast - 850csi and that would be quite a scene when it arrived. One comment to you Calvin is that i really like your filming, camera angles man, you bring out exactly what we need to see, and in a very professional way, thank you. I also like your video about the Range Rover Vogue, - 100,000 mile car! Fantastic. Thank you so much.

      @@bekabeka71 That's the beauty of this car, its luxurious but also usable. It can deal with any conditions.
      I don't believe the world can afford to stop trading for 7 months. The US is 90% a services and sale goods economy, if they don't work for 7 months the US banking system would collapse, and so would the rest of the world. It would be chaos within a month.

    Don't know about everyone else, but since young I've always admired the 850i M since young.
    Proportions or whatever, or maybe the 2 bricks that pop up at night, most non aerodynamic headlights... 🤣 🤣 🤣
    Love it

    Just to clear up some of your understanding about BMW. For those E31 series BMW's An 840i, 840CI had the V8. Any E31 with an 850i, 850Ci, or 850CSi, they were all V12 engines. This also applies to the E32 7 series Saloons E32 series.
