1991 Bmw 850i V12- 5k Miles On New Transmission- Rebuilt Engine- Many Upgrades on 2040-cars
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States

"Most cars aren't a good investment. You're looking at one of the exceptions, right here. The BMW 8-series is destined for legendary selling prices, as they are becoming more rare and sought after. The technological advancements and ahead-of-its-time computerization that BMW employed in the 8-series is yet unmatched. The most sought after years would be the first year (1991) and the last year (1997) of U.S. production. The 8-series is a legend in its time and a wonder that future car enthusiasts will seek with fervor." This vehicle is an exceptionally well maintained example of the BMW Flagship 8-series. There is no cleaner, stronger or more beautiful 850i on eBay. A Low 139,000 miles for a 22 year-old car tells you that the car was enjoyed, but not abused. Since 2003, this vehicle has received over $20,000 in Mechanical and Performance Upgrades (Listed Below), and has been driven ONLY 5,000 Miles. Many engineering features of the 8-series were far ahead of the current technology, and BMW gained much acclaim for building a supercar that could not be touched by any other production car company. Dual Bank computerized technology, coupled with Fly by Wire acceleration, managed a V-12 power plant with efficiency, and a computer controlled transmission made sure that power got its claws into the asphalt. Technology that blows minds, and sexy lines that turn heads. With mileage so low (6,000 miles a year), you'd expect a mechanically sound vehicle, and that's exactly what you get. But the story of this vehicle's condition gets better. It is well known, among 8-series enthusiasts, that the transmissions will likely give you problems somewhere between 80,000 and 100,000 miles, especially now in their old age. Believe me, I know. My transmission was changed at 133,000 with a certified rebuilt transmission. This upgrade is priceless on these vehicles, and that's a benefit you won't see elsewhere here on eBay. MAKE SURE TO ASK ANYONE SELLING A BMW 8-SERIES TO TELL YOU IF THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN CHANGED. IF NOT, BEWARE. This vehicle's transmission has about 5,000 miles on it. About a couple years back, I noticed that the top end of the motor was noisy. I took it to my mechanic, who rebuilt the top end of the engine at 138,000. It was costly, especially for a non-necessity, but I felt it was worth it, and that's one more benefit I'm passing on to the next buyer. A REBUILT ENGINE IS A DEFINITE VALUE ON ANY CAR, LET ALONE A BMW V-12 ENGINE. HOW MANY OTHER BMW 8-SERIES ARE FOR SALE WITH REBUILT ENGINES? This Vehicle's top end has less than 1,000 miles on it. The paint on this car is absolutely gorgeous. It was repainted at around 135,000. But it wasn't your everyday normal paint job. The vehicle was literally broken down, painted and then put back together, to give a factory finish. And believe me, it's shiny and it's beautiful. THIS CAR TURNS HEADS EVERYWHERE. RED IS THE MOST VALUABLE COLOR ON THE BMW 8-SERIES. THIS VEHICLE WAS DISMANTLED AND RE-ASSEMBLED FOR A COMPLETELY FACTORY PAINT JOB IN ITS ORIGINAL BMW COLOR. A superb driving vehicle, with above average maintenance and a look that automatically draws attention. This vehicle has no known issues that affect its operation. Known issues, that are very inexpensive to correct, are listed below. If you need help locating any parts, I have many connections for parts and
The vehicle is in excellent condition, but it is being Sold AS-IS, with NO Warranty or Guarantee, expressed or implied. $500 non-refundable deposit is due within 24 hours of auction's end. If you are the high bidder, the balance will be due in 72 hours. If you need more time, please contact me as soon as possible. As long as a deposit is made, I will work with you as best I can, and within certain limits at my discretion. I want to see my vehicle pass on to somebody who will care for her as much as I have. This is a 100% Rare Collectible Car that Will only Increase in Value!
TOTAL UPGRADES VALUED AT $20,200 THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO PAY FOR! $20,200 in upgrades in 10 years, and I have only put about 5,000 miles on this beautiful car in that time. It's going to be hard to see her go. Thank you for checking out my auction. Best of luck in your quest. |

Alpina D3 may be coming to Frankfurt with 350 hp, AWD
Wed, 14 Aug 2013Rumors are swirling that Alpina, the tuning house that specializes in all things BMW, will followup its Geneva debut of the B3 Bi-Turbo with an oil-burning variant slated for debut at September's Frankfurt Motor Show. The news comes from Auto Zeitung, which reports that the second-generation D3 will be based off the Europe-only 335d.
This is a departure from the last D3, which had the four-cylinder turbo-diesel from the BMW 123d in a 3 Series body. The new model is expected to use a 3.0-liter, twin-turbocharged inline-six, which will generate 350 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque. That should scoot it to 62 miles per hour in under five seconds (likely while towing a tree stump). Both rear- and all-wheel drive should be available on the D3, and we imagine the thrill of this much power channeled through just the two rear wheels to be akin to skydiving sans parachute.
For our European friends that want an Alpina D3, but don't need more torque than any American full-size pickup, there may be plans to offer a four-cylinder variant that still delivers Alpina performance without a compromise in economy. We'll have more on the Alpina D3 when it debuts at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show.
BMW Pininfarina Gran Lusso Coup'e concept echoes 8 Series
Tue, 14 May 2013BMW and Pininfarina are planning to debut a new concept at the 2013 Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este. The Gran Lusso Coupé is designed to be the next logical step forward from the Zagato Coupé, and the one-off creation boasts plenty of BMW earmarks to set the car off as a true member of the German automaker's family. With a long wheel base and a stretched nose, the two door can't help but channel the long-dead BMW 8 Series, and the potent V12 under the hood only reinforces the link.
BMW has been kind enough to slip the world a few teasers, and the images show what looks like it could be the low-slung grand tourer of our dreams. Check out the full press release below for more information, and stay tuned for the full unveiling.
Toyota launches BMW-powered Verso in Europe
Tue, 03 Dec 2013BMW makes some sweet-revving engines, but its own vehicles aren't the only ones running BMW engines. So do the latest from Rolls-Royce and Mini, of course, as well as a handful of Peugeots and Citroëns thanks to its joint engine program with PSA. Wiesmann uses BMW engines, as did the famous McLaren F1. And now we can add one more to the list.
That would be the Toyota Verso, a Corolla-based minivan which Toyota builds in Turkey and sells in Europe and a few other markets overseas. The Verso is also now officially the first beneficiary of the partnership between Toyota and BMW as the Japanese automaker has released the MPV with BMW's 1.6-liter turbodiesel four.
The 111-horsepower engine is coupled to a Toyota transmission and joins the Verso range as the fourth (and least powerful) engine in the lineup, alongside the 122hp 2.0 diesel and the gasoline options with 1.6 liters and 160 hp and 1.8 for 180. Future collaborations between the two automakers will include fuel-cell development, a new joint sportscar platform, lightweight bodywork research and a new generation of lithium-air batteries. See the press release below for further details.
