Car description |

1991 BMW 850i E31 RWD two door w/ 6sp manual transmission- 100% original unmolested and has been referred to as "sat in a time capsule" condition.This car has been relegated to weekend use (BMW events) and is rarely taken out of the garage. That being said the car could be driven across the country today with absolutely no issues. Finished in Schwarz Black over a Silver leather interior with MANUAL transmission (very rare:#121 of 847 total M70 E31's with 6 spd and only 17 M70's ever made in this color combo with 6 spd- vehicle build sheet can be emailed which confirms this). Car is registered in E31 classic car registry. Sold new by Main Line BMW in Philadephia PA with a MSRP of $80000 (which would have been $150k+ today if adjusting for inflation) the car’s original owner was a doctor at the University of Penn hospital and used it to commute from New Jersey daily. The original window sticker is included with the car. He owned the car until February 2000 when he sold it with 145K miles to me (the car’s second owner). Bought in 2000 with 145K and have some receipts from the BMW dealer (Main Line BMW) with my name on them dating back over 10 years ago. I recently moved back to PA this year and so it is now titled and inspected in PA with classic tags. Overall Condition Brand new PA state inspection good until June 2016. The original owner had the motor replaced at 138K with a brand new motor at Main Line BMW (covered under an extended warranty at the time) due to a timing chain issue. Always garaged -winner of the 2013 Super Clean Car category in a local car show for original >20 years old import class. When looking at other sellers mostly dealers you'll notice they say very little or as little as possible about the factual condition of their cars. They want you to do all the leg work to discover the hidden issues with their cars and they hope you'll never find out. You'll also notice a lot of salvaged storm exposed or rebuilt cars out there. I'm not automatically saying stay away from them you can get some real good deals - but if you want a well maintained adult driven all original dealer maintained 8 Series that you can just get in and drive across the country this is the car. Putting out 296 hp and 332 ft-lbs of torque the 5.0L V12 engine makes the car an absolute Autobahn bomber but ride quality is immaculate whether in town or on the highway the suspension and brakes each functioning flawlessly rounding out a solid and secure driving experience that causes one to truly appreciate the engineering that went into the 8 series. It's hard to envision anything distinctly more pleasurable to drive and that includes BMW’s more modern (but less exclusive) offerings. Exterior The car’s Black (Schwarz) finish is in "show car" shape there are no dents rock chips scratches and ZERO RUST...the paint has an absolute showroom shine. The body is entirely straight all of the trim rubber and glass is in excellent condition and the car rides on the original authentic BMW wheels wrapped in very good tread. The hood and front bumper were professionally resprayed to completely remove any flaws (i.e. rock chips). The wheels are original and have been refinished. The car has never been in any accidents and all of the body parts are original. Interior The interior of the car is all original and immaculate.The on board pixel displays all work. The leather passenger sport seat and rear seat have almost zero usage throughout the cars life (no damage or tears).The leather on the drivers seat is structurally perfect and shows negligible wear on the bolster with no tears as well.The carpet is clean and the mats are brand new 850i floor mats.There is a small crack in the plastic below the center phone where the cradle used to rest. The dash is perfect with no cracks and the trunk area is also clean.The headliner is in great shape. The car was never smoked in and the windows sunroof seats etc. all function flawlessly. This car comes with everything it came with day one....2 keys a full size spare with tire in perfect condition fold up toolkit lift jack owners manual and even a BMW tape cleaning kit. It also comes with the original window sticker. Mechanical The car is also mechanically excellent the M70 V12 engine starting effortlessly pulling strong and smoothly through each of the manual transmission’s gears with even compression across all 12 cylinders. Just about all steering suspension and braking items were replaced to make the car feel like new again. It currently drives like it has 30K miles with a very tight suspension and firm braking. The A/C blows ice cold and the heat works great. There are no grinding noises squeals clanks or looseness in this car. The clutch does not slip and grabs where it should. I have many repair records going back to 1998. The following are repairs which were performed under my supervision:
- Regular oil/filter changes every 3000 miles
- Transmission fluid changed
- New spark plugs caps and rotors
