BMW - 850i 'CSI Package' - 1992

BMW 850i E31 V12 – 1992 – Exceptionally well maintained – Including service history When BMW introduced the 8 Series in 1989, the E31 was much more than just the successor to the 6 Series. The model was developed as a technological flagship that would demonstrate what the brand was capable of in terms of engineering, comfort, aerodynamics and Grand Touring. The development took years and resulted in one of the most distinctive BMWs of the 1990s. The car offered here is a BMW 850i from 1992, equipped with the 4,988 cc M70 V12 with 296 hp, automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. The shown odometer reads 194,781 kilometers. The condition of this example can be termed exceptional. Not only does the car present itself as exceptionally well cared for, but in recent years there has been substantial investment to bring both the technical systems and the interior, as well as various typical E31 components, into excellent condition. The extensive documentation contains invoices from specialized companies including Wokke Performance, GH Automotive, Cabrioletservice.nl and Becker specialists. The car remained in Spain from new until early 2022 and is equipped with an extensive set of Spanish ITV inspection documents. In January 2022 the BMW was imported to the Netherlands and registered with the RDW. The Dutch history notes a logical kilometer recording, no WOK history and no registered Dutch damage history. In addition to the extensive technical maintenance, great attention has been paid to the preservation and restoration of the interior and original equipment. For example, the headlining was completely renewed, the leather of both front seats was repaired, the MID display was refurbished, and the original BMW Bavaria Professional RDS radio was professionally refurbished. In addition, the car features an attractive BMW 850CSi-style exterior, including an original BMW 850CSi front bumper, front spoiler and black kidney grilles, combined with Alpina Classic alloy wheels. Just the verified factory options account for a value of €3,334, while another €10,329 is represented by documented upgrades and restoration work. BODYWORK/PAINT: The bodywork of this BMW 850i is in very well-kept condition and is one of the car’s strong points. The BMW is finished in Metallic Black, a color that suits the low and broad lines of the E31 perfectly. The paint presents itself exceptionally well, with a lovely gloss and a deep appearance. The distinctive long hood, low nose, wide rear and frameless side windows give the E31, even more than thirty years after its introduction, a very special look. This example is also fitted in an attractive 850CSi-style body, including an original BMW 850CSi front bumper, original 850CSi front spoiler and black BMW kidney grilles. The documented value of only these parts is €3,080. The car sits on a handsome set of Alpina Classic alloy wheels, with a documented value of €2,580. The Alpina wheels suit the era and the Grand Touring character of the E31 particularly well. The distinctive electrically operated pop-up headlights have been retained. The other lighting, glazing, window trim, body rubbers and trim pieces are presented as well-kept. The car is equipped with a power-operated glass sunroof. In March 2023 a replacement electric sunroof motor was purchased. Through the combination of the dark metallic bodywork, 850CSi-style body parts and Alpina Classic wheels, the car has a particularly powerful yet period-correct appearance. TECHNICAL: Under the hood lies the heart of the 850i: the BMW M70 4,988 cc V12, good for 296 hp. It is the matching-numbers engine that comes with the car. The engine is paired with an automatic transmission and powers the rear wheels. The M70 features electronic throttle control and Bosch Motronic engine management. A major plus point of this BMW is the exceptionally extensive documented maintenance history. This is especially important for a technically complex E31 V12. The documentation shows that in recent years investment has been made in, among other things, fuel injection, engine management, ignition, electronic throttle components, Bosch mass air meters, electronics and diagnostics.

INTERIOR: The interior is also in a well-kept condition, and there is demonstrable evidence of significant investment in preserving and restoring the original equipment. The interior features leather upholstery and offers electrically adjustable front seats, with the driver’s seat also having a memory function. In January 2023 both the driver’s and passenger’s seats were professionally treated and the leather repaired. A key point with many E31s is the headlining. On this example it has not merely been locally repaired: in October 2022 the complete headliner was professionally reupholstered by Cabrioletservice.nl, for which an invoice of €1,149.50 is available. Two other characteristic E31 components were professionally restored as well. The original Multi Information Display (MID) was refurbished in Germany, where the pixels were repaired, the display polished, new lighting mounted and the unit tested. In addition the original BMW Bavaria Professional RDS audio system was refurbished by a specialist. Both the radio amplifier and the control unit were serviced. Among the interior and comfort equipment are: - Leather interior - Electrically adjustable front seats - Driver’s seat memory function - Automatic climate control - Cruise control - On-board computer - Electrically operated windows - Central locking - Electric glass sunroof - Leather steering wheel - Leather gear selector - Rear center armrest - Rear reading lamps - Illuminated vanity mirrors - Original BMW Bavaria Professional RDS radio - BMW Multi Information Display (MID) The interior thus combines the extensive luxury equipment of BMW’s top model of the era with a degree of restoration and maintenance that is not self-evident for an E31 of this age. DOCUMENTS: The BMW is equipped with Dutch registration documents and an extensive history file. The car was officially imported to the Netherlands in January 2022, when the RDW inspected the car, identified the VIN and issued a Dutch license plate. A particularly strong point is the amount of maintenance and restoration documentation available. Invoices are available from: Wokke Performance GH Automotive Cabrioletservice.nl Car Visual Extra-Classics Becker-specialist MID-specialist Armando’s Garage ASWR BMW Parts Autodoc RDW In addition, several Spanish ITV inspection reports from the period before the Dutch import are available. This allows a substantial portion of history before as well as after the Dutch registration to be traced. The documentation also confirms substantial investments in the technically important components for an E31 V12, as well as the restoration of various interior and electronic parts. The available history includes the restoration of the headlining, leather, MID display and the original Becker radio.
