Guys - I happen to be flipping through the local paper on my lunch today and came across a beautiful '91 850i for sale locally.
Car had 109K on it and was burgundy with tan interior. I called the seller and the car is in good shape and has been maintained and runs perfectly. He is asking $11K or best offer!
I was thinking that is ridiculously cheap, as these cars were $75+K brand new. I spent 30or so minutes and did some checking on eBay and Autotrader and that appears to be the actual ball park for these once Heavy Hitters. I was shocked! There appears to be little love for these cars, I always thought they were spectacular.
Not sure what they are like to maintain, but I am sure they are full of the usual electrical gremlins that haunt these older very complicated machines.
Their acceleration is mediocre 0-60mp/h in 6secs and have 300hp/300ft.lbs moving a huge coupe.
What are you guys thoughts on them?
Here is a pic I dug up on Bimmer Forums:
