Hey all!!!
Now this was a treat...
It`s a `91 BMW 850i with a 6 speed manual transmission. I only took the one photo as it was just a wash package but will definitely take a full photo "spread" when I give it a proper detail. The owner was bringing it in for some service/repair issues and did not want to fully polish and seal it just yet. The car has over 100K on it yet still retains the original paint which is in remarkably excellent condition. The interior is darn near flawless.
Consider this a sneak preview....

Truely BMW styling piqued in the late 90`s - early 2000`s (E46 M3 is one of the all time best car designs ever!). Although I do think the new 6 series is a pretty sexy car, but(t) the rear end still needs some more "tweaking". That 850i is a beautiful car I hope you get to take it for a spin too. Looking forward to the pics.

Have owned a 93 740il, 94 540 and now a 99 740il. Everytime I see a 8 series I
They are not that hard to work on at all. But the 12 cylinder engine is so smooth and so damm expensive to repair.
Where they not like $80k sticker back then?
