Our Take:
- Rarity and Obscureness: The 1991 BMW 850i, part of the E31 series, is a rare gem for any car enthusiast, especially with a manual transmission. Only a small fraction of the already limited production run came with the 6-speed manual, making it a collector's dream.
- Historical Significance: The 850i was BMW's flagship model of the early '90s, embodying the fusion of luxury and performance. It was a symbol of engineering prowess, featuring a V12 engine that's about as smooth as a Bavarian pilsner on a warm day.
- Unique Build Features: This particular 850i boasts Alpina internals—a rare upgrade enhancing performance and exclusivity. Coupled with the sought-after Electronic Damping Control (EDC) suspension, it screams not just luxury, but innovative engineering from that era.
- Restoration and Customization: With a comprehensive restoration already tackled, this car brims with potential. The note about new high-end paint and ACS TYPE 3 wheels means you're looking not just at a car, but a piece of art. It invites you to finish the story with a few touches like the throw-out bearing and heater core—an adventure in automotive craftsmanship.
