1995 | BMW 850CSi
Overview
Among BMW’s back catalog of greats, the 8-Series (E31) stands testament in the marque’s commitment to building the ultimate driving machine. Debuted as the 850i, the company’s M performance division went on to deliver the most sought after CSi variant from 1994 to 1995. Flaunting wholly revised S70 V12 power and all-new multi-link rear suspension, the flagship coupe made good on its Motorsport mission—solely offered with 6-speed manual transmission.
.
One of 225 built, this 1995 BMW 850CSi exudes collector-grade rarity and peak 90s styling. Black over Black Nappa leather, of-the-era equipment makes this time capsule E31 shine. The cabin’s airy greenhouse presents sans B-pillars, completing an elegant form factor. Heated power-adjustable seating, a BMW car-phone, and 6-disc CD audio fill out novel period niceties. This car’s M doorsill trim and shift knob hint at truly special factory configuration far from skin deep.

The hood opens to reveal 5.6L motivation, factory rated at 372hp w/420lb-ft of torque. First-to-market CAN-bus wiring and throttle by wire systems showcase the model as a progenitor of modern high performance. Forged engine internals, a limited slip differential, and Electronic Damping Control count among this example’s enthusiast charms. Outside, its iconic silhouette is accented by pop-up headlights plus 17” Style 21 wheels wrapped in Bridgestone Potenza tires. This stunning 44k-mile 850CSi is sold with clean documentation, service records from current ownership, and factory accessories.
