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 brings burlesque, Warhol, M1 and 6 Series Grand Coupe to Paris Photo LA
Mon, 22 Apr 2013BMW has worked with Paris Photo for ten years. This year, the photography exposition lands in Paramount Studios in Los Angeles for the first time, and BMW is not only coming with it, the Bavarians are bringing the Art Car that started it all: the 1979 M1 painted by Andy Warhol. For those attending the show, there will also be making-of video of Warhol working on the car - but if you remember the mini lecture that EVO magazine's Henry Catchpole gave on the Art Cars, you'll remember that Warhol finished the car so quickly that the cameraman barely had time to get the film rolling.
With that will also be a series of photos of the BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe dropped into noir scenes accompanied by burlesque models, all taken by photographer Uwe Düttmann. It's the first time they'll be exhibited at Paris Photo. You can check out a few of them in the high-res gallery above, and there's a press release below with more info.
BMW Motorrad celebrates 90 years with new R nineT roadster [w/video]
Wed, 16 Oct 201390 years is a heck of a long time by any standard, and as good a cause for celebration as we've ever seen. That's how long BMW has been making motorcycles for, and it's celebrating with the retro cafe racer you see here - as promised and previewed.
Dubbed the R nineT (for 90 years), the latest product from BMW Motorrad traces its roots back to the original 1923 BMW R 32. And like the original, it's powered by a boxer twin - in this case, a 1,170cc air- and oil-cooled unit delivering 110 horsepower and 88 pound-feet of torque. All that muscle is packed into a classically-styled roadster that looks ready to line up next to a Moto Guzzi Griso, Triumph Thruxton or Ducati SportClassic.
The neo-retro styling drapes a unique tubular steel spaceframe chassis that uses the engine as a stressed member. The inverted telescopic front fork is borrowed from the S 1000 RR superbike and a paralever swingarm with spring strut suspends the rear. That's where you'll find a removable rear pillion for an extra passenger and dual tailpipes mounted on the left side, swappable for a titanium Akrapovic exhaust - just one of many customization options BMW Motorrad is offering for the R nineT.
BMW dishes on 'lightweight' 2014 M4
Mon, 15 Jul 2013BMW's M cars are not what we'd call featherweights. Sure, the big, bruising twin-turbocharged V8s deliver a lot of power, but the fact of the matter is that more weight often equates to less fun.
Which is why we're so excited over a recent sit-down the blokes at Top Gear had with BMW's product manager for small and medium cars, Matt Collins. The chat led to talk of the M3 Coupe replacing M4. Collins confirmed that, yes, the new M4 would be turbocharged. The new engine will also be a six-cylinder, which should make purists happy.
"What we'd like is more focus on lightweight engineering." -Matt Collins
