Topping the model range of BMW’s E31-generation 6-Series grand touring car, the 850CSi is powered by a naturally aspirated 5.6-liter S70 V12, the lowest-production BMW engine to date. This 1994 example is one of 225 BMW 850CSi models built for the U.S. market over a two-year production run and was originally sold by Nick Alexander BMW in Los Angeles, California. The car is finished in Black II over a matching leather interior and equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission, a limited-slip differential, upgraded Brembo brakes, 17” BMW Style 21 “throwing star” wheels, heated power seats, and dual-zone automatic climate control. It was purchased by the second owner in 1997 who sold the car to its current owner in 2021. Serviced in 2023 with new upper front control arms, engine belts, fluids, filters, and more, this rare U.S. market BMW 850CSi is being offered for auction once again out of Florida with approximately 53k miles showing on the odometer.
The aerodynamic, wedge-shaped bodywork of the E31 6-Series is characterized by its pop-up headlamps, wide stance, and pillarless window design. The 850CSi features unique bumper covers, quad exhaust outlets, and a lower ride height than other E31 models. This example is finished in Black II paint with a custom blue pinstripe. Equipment includes BMW Motorsport door handles, fog lights, an electric sunroof, red-painted brake calipers, and 17” BMW Style 21 wheels with directional “throwing star” covers. The Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires were installed in 2021 and the seller describes the exterior as in excellent overall condition. Detailed images are provided in the gallery along with a clean CARFAX report.
The black leather interior is appointed with a four-spoke leather steering wheel, wood trim, heated power-adjustable front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, cruise control, a car phone, an onboard computer, and a factory AM/FM cassette radio paired with a trunk-mounted CD player. The cabin filters were replaced along with the glove box door latch in 2023. All accessories and electrical features are said to be working properly.
This 850CSi derives up to 372 HP and 402 lb.-ft of torque from a naturally aspirated S70B56 V12 DOHC engine. The rear wheels are driven through a 6-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. Compared to other E31 models, the 850CSi equips a sport-tuned suspension and revised speed-sensitive power steering ratios. This example also features upgraded Brembo brakes with cross-drilled rotors. Service performed in 2023 includes new upper front control arms, new engine belts, air filters, hood struts, wiper blades, an oil change, and flushing the coolant, power steering, and brake fluid.
This sale will include owner’s manuals, a toolkit, a spare tire, and a clean title.
