I purchased this 1992 BMW 850i in 10/2008 with 95,732 miles. It now has 98,353 miles on it. My intent was to make this a show car and only take it to car shows. With two kids that are getting older, I can no longer afford to keep her.
As you can tell, I didn't drive the car much. I kept it in the garage all the time and wiped it down, replaced parts as projects, and drove it around the block a few times just to get some air. I did drive the car from St Louis to Chicago & back on an occasion and she drove GREAT!!! The more I drove the car, the more it wanted to be driven. This is a great car and whoever gets it will be very happy! You can also tell, I spent hundreds of hours detailing and cleaning the engine. The V12 engine had to show well if I were to take it to a car show.
This car has new German manufactured windshield (not cheap glass) (took months to get cleared for windshield), K&N Filters, new fuel filters, rebuilt carbon filter, new cabin filters NGK spark plugs, new upper & low oil pan gaskets, new front L & R lower control arms, new front wheel bearings, 2 new batteries, new brake fluid, new belts, Supersprint exhaust w performance chips, K40 radar detector, new rotors and distributor caps, new head liner and refinished interior (very tastefully done). The air conditioner does works!! It just needs to be recharged with the R12 but it is so hard to come by. Feel free to convert it over, but I preferred the R12.
The cars does show some wear; especially on the roof. When I purchased the car, the owner kept it under a tarp (not sure why) as he didnt drive it after his wife passed away. The nose has a crack as you can see on the picture, and I think the alternator may be bad. Not sure because I havent driven the car in over a year.. I would pull it out, wipe it off and pull it back into the garage. The car stayed clean! The car also needs an alignment after new control arms and wheel bearings. I later found out that when I took the seats out to redo them and clean the carpet, I should have disconnected the batteries. As a result, the SRS light is on. Who knew.. Other than that, everything works on the car.
My next project was the BMW Alpine alarm install. I have two of them (used) and will throw them in for free with all other stuff I find in the garage since I will no longer need them.
If you have any questions, please email me. You can leave your number and I will call you on lunch or after work.
This is a great car that I really hate to part with.

BMW planning X4 M Performance diesel? [w/poll]
Wed, 04 Dec 2013With the arrival of the new X4 in March, BMW will expand its crossover portfolio by one more model. But while some enthusiasts may have been disappointed by the news that the Bavarian automaker isn't likely to authorize an M version of the compact slantback crossover, this latest development could help bridge the gap.
Although the line used to be quite clear between standard BMWs and M models, Munich has been blurring it with the M Performance treatment. Those have included models like the M135i hatchback and M235i coupe, the diesel-powered M550d sedan and wagon and X5 and X6 M50d crossovers. Now word has it that BMW could follow a similar formula with the X4, creating a sub-M performance model.
What's more is that the X4 M Performance model could go diesel, following a similar formula that Audi undertook with its first performance crossover, the SQ5 TDI. The major difference here is that when Audi brought the SQ5 to these shores, it ditched the diesel for a gasoline engine. Could BMW do the same?
Audi investing $30.3 billion through 2018 for product expansion
Sun, 29 Dec 2013How does Audi plan to reach two million units in annual sales and pay for the 11 new models it's adding to its lineup - an expansion that may include models named SQ2, Q9 and F-Tron? By increasing its investment to 22 billion euros ($30.3 billion US) between now and 2018. That figure represents an increase of about 500 million euros over the previously planned outlay, according to a report by Automotive News, and that could be due to Audi wishing to goad the momentum that pushed it to 1.5 million annual sales two years ahead of schedule.
It's also about staving off the challenges from BMW and Mercedes-Benz. Now that BMW has been able to turn some of its attention away from its "i" series of Megacity cars, it will reportedly spend more than planned in 2014 as it continues the rollout of ten all-new vehicles and 15 new-generation vehicles through the end of next year. Mercedes, having been dropped to third in the sales race, is preparing to add 13 new cars over the next six years.
Audi's money is going into technology, into product like the next-generation TT and the Q1 and production expansions and upgrades all over the world. The expenditure represents just under a fourth of Volkswagen's 84.2 billion-euro ($115.7 US) outlay devoted to taking the number-one global automaker title away from General Motors and Toyota by 2018.
Toyota-BMW sports car to gain all-wheel drive, supercapacitors?
Mon, 24 Mar 2014Sales of salt are skyrocketing following the latest rumor of the planned joint-venture sports car from Toyota and BMW. The whisperings indicate that project will spawn both a replacement for the BMW Z4 and a long-awaited Toyota Supra successor based on the FT-1 Concept shown above. Word is that the new cars will feature front-engine, all-wheel-drive layouts with plug-in hybrid technology. This news would appear to run somewhat counter to earlier reports that BMW and Toyota are teaming for a six-figure hybrid supercar.
According to Autocar, the project will benefit from the experience Toyota gained with the TS030, its hybridized Le Mans prototype. The evidence for this is, of all things, a Toyota Yaris - in particular, the Yaris Hybrid R that was shown at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show last September. That car used a 300-horsepower, 1.6-liter gas engine, while a pair of 60-horsepower electric motors provided all-wheel-drive push (an additional motor also sent additional juice to the front axle). The 414-system-horsepower drivetrain used supercapacitors in place of the traditional lithium-ion batteries of traditional hybrids.
For the production sports cars, Autocar claims that the Yaris Hybrid R's setup will serve as the basis for the new powertrain, although it won't be a direct carryover. Instead, a 2.0-liter BMW engine will be paired with Toyota-designed, BMW-built motors.
