While the BMW 8-Series (E31) of the 1990s was for its time a technological marvel, its complex workings often prove troublesome 30 years on. Proper maintenance—while a primary consideration in buying any collector car—is that much more so in the 5.4-liter V12 (M73) 850Ci. Here’s an example of one from 1995 that, while at over 100,000 miles on the clock is no garage queen, has an impeccable service history and its care is reflected in the overall condition. The Oxford Green works well on an 850i/Ci and this one has been dressed up with a factory body kit from the six-figure 850CSi (while shy of the CSi’s performance, the M73 Ci is actually more rare by nearly 300 copies; 363 of the 1,218 made ending up in North America in 1995). Somewhat rare, gorgeous to look at and in this condition a joy to drive, you can bid on it here at Shiftgate Automotive Auctions”. Current bidding sits at $10,000 with one day to go.
