This 1991 BMW 850i is a 63k-mile example and one of 847 cars officially imported to the US with a 6-speed manual transmission. Black/black is a great color on the sleek GT coupe design, and this one is unmodified from stock apart from desireable BMW M Parallel wheels. Everything works including cold A/C and even the original BMW cellular phone is included. The seller is a collector and enthusiast who runs a BMW parts outfit called RecycleBMWs. He has owned many BMWs over the years including 3 E31s and says this is a special car that has kept its originality and has never been messed with. The Carfax report viewable below verifies mileage and shows one accident in 1996. This was the first V12 production car offered with a 6-speed manual, though the vast majority were equipped with the 4-speed automatic.

The seller says the paint is largely original, however the rear quarter appears to have been resprayed following the 1996 accident. Paintwork was done well and the seller says it is nearly undetectable, adding that a trained eye might be able to detect some light sanding marks beneath the finish if lighting conditions are just right.

The all black interior is in excellent condition with original leather upholstery. Note also that the dash is clean with no warping or fading and that all accessories including gauges, switches, and power seats are fully functional. A/C blows cold, and though the the OEM MID (Multi-Information Display) is slightly dim, it still works and is legible.

We like the M Parallel wheels and the car is otherwise completely stock. The original, unused spare and complete factory tool kit still reside in the trunk, and the often lost OEM BMW cellular phone is also included.

The M70 V12 is said to start easily and make great power. The seller has driven the car around 3k miles under his ownership and says its always proved a reliable and fast cruiser. It has needed only routine maintenance and fluid changes, and under his watch the seller has also fitted new cooling hoses, replaced both batteries, and replaced the front upper and lower control arms.
