Comments from the seller

This classic BMW 850i has a powerful 5 litre V12 Engine and is a real head turner and impressive to drive. It is a regrettable sale but my loss could be your gain. Packed with features which were top of the line in its day.: CD player - 6 stacker CD unit Radio cassette ABS (antilock brakes) Central locking Integrated security system Leather Trim (incl. seats, inserts) On-board computer Body coloured bumpers Facrory fitted power sunroof - no leaks Power steering Alloy wheels Excellent Toyo Proxes tyers with only 10000 kms driving New windscreen. Complete original BMW tool kit. Original BMW 1st aid Kit unopened The exhaust system has been upgraded however I have the original exhaust which comes with the car should you want to revert to the original. Drives beautifully. Full service history. Paint and interior in pretty good condition for the age of the car, there are minor imperfectionsas you would expect from a car this age. Currently on club registration which is not transferrable.
