This 1991 BMW 850i is a modified example that is finished in Calypso Red Metallic over a light silver grey and black Nappa leather interior. The car was previously owned in Oregon, California, and Mississippi before it was purchased by the seller and brought to Florida seven years ago. Power is supplied by a 5.0-liter V-12 mated to a 6-speed manual transmission, and modifications include a limited-slip differential, Wokke performance chips, an AP Racing big brake kit, Eibach springs, Kinesis wheels, and more detailed below. Approximately 20k miles have been added by the seller, and maintenance performed last year included a new heater control valve, power steering lines, DME control units, and refurbished throttle bodies. This E31 is now being offered for sale with records from the seller and previous owner, a number of spare parts, a clean Carfax, and a clean Florida title in the seller’s name.

According to the seller, the car is driven regularly and has been garage-kept during their ownership. OEM CSi bumpers and Euro-spec M-tech mirrors have been installed and the car was repainted in its factory shade of Calypsorot Metallic (252) some time ago. The windows have been tinted, and some scuffs are noted on the bottom of the front bumper.

The car sits lower than stock on a set of Eibach springs, with EDC front shocks and Bilstein rear sports. Wokke upper control arms are equipped with spherical bushings, and the rear shock towers have reportedly been reinforced.

Staggered-width 18″ Kinesis K28 forged three-piece wheels feature anodized gold centers with polished lips. The matching set of Falken Azenis tires have approximately 80% remaining tread in front and 70% in the rear. An AP Racing big brake kit includes six-piston front and four-piston rear calipers.

The interior is trimmed in light silver grey with black Nappa leather (0354). An M-Sport steering wheel was recently re-upholstered with suede and leather and a custom center armrest was added.

The factory stereo has been replaced by a modern Pioneer unit with a touchscreen and bluetooth capabilities. The A/C is reported to blow cold. According to the seller, the top of the glovebox does not open and the sunroof tilts but does not slide. 180,192 miles are shown on the odometer, with approximately 20k of those added during the seller’s seven-year ownership.

Under the hood, the 5.0-liter V-12 is paired to a 6-speed manual transmission and is equipped with Wokke M70 performance chips that are reported to raise factory output to 334 horsepower and 365 lb-ft of torque. The speed limiter has been removed and a limited-slip differential was added. A number of spare parts accompany the vehicle, including sway bar end links, idler arm, sway bar bushings, valve cover gaskets, throttle body gaskets, and intake manifold gaskets.
