1991 BMW 8 Series 850i review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear & front wheel alignment and Computer pixel's are going out slowly.
General comments?
The early 850i cars are great if you can find one with low miles and a clean service record. The smooth V12 does this car justice for power, The car can flat out get up for a car its size and weight, It's been said to be called a poor man's Lamborghini since the price has dropped on these cars over the yrs, But make no mistake about them with the right combination of mods and the right set up it can smoke some new cars.
