Wow I remember this car so vividly my wife made me sell it because it constantly made people ask questions about it. I had it tuned up with a system loved the tires and it has a great motor.

The editorial belly is having trouble digesting the BMW 850i sports coupe. Maybe it's the price. Any car costing $90,000 ought to do everything but make coffee—maybe even that too. When it comes from Germany and wears the blue and white BMW badge on its hood, you expect it to send your blood pressure off the scale with its acceleration and handling, while coddling you as if you were a Saudi oil minister. Mated to a six-speed manual, gearbox (a four-speed automatic is also available), the mighty V-12 catapulted our 850i from standstill like an F-16 being launched off a carrier. Blast-off to 60 mph takes just 6.3 seconds, the quarter-mile dash is over in 14.9 seconds at 96 mph, and the speed doesn't stop coming until an electronic limiter steps in at 156 mph.

THE CAR IS FAST ELEGANT
