The BMW 850i, produced from 1989 to 1994, was a luxury grand tourer that marked a significant departure for the Bavarian automaker. Positioned as a flagship model, the 850i aimed to compete with the likes of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class and the Jaguar XJ, offering a blend of performance, elegance, and cutting-edge technology. Its sleek, aerodynamic design, penned by renowned designer Claus Luthe, was a dramatic departure from BMW's more traditional aesthetic, featuring a low-slung profile, a long hood, and a distinctive "shark nose" front end. The 850i was built on a dedicated platform, featuring a double-wishbone front suspension and a multi-link rear suspension, providing a refined and composed ride. Under the hood resided a potent 5.0-liter V12 engine, producing 300 horsepower and 325 lb-ft of torque, making the 850i one of the fastest production cars of its time. Beyond its performance capabilities, the 850i boasted luxurious amenities, including leather upholstery, heated seats, power windows and mirrors, and an advanced sound system. It also featured innovative technologies for its time, such as an electronically controlled suspension and an optional anti-lock braking system. Despite its impressive performance and luxurious features, the 850i was not a commercial success, hampered by a high price tag and a reputation for mechanical complexity. However, it remains a significant vehicle in BMW's history, showcasing the brand's engineering prowess and design ambitions. Today, the 850i is considered a classic, appreciated for its unique styling, powerful engine, and refined driving experience. Its rarity and enduring appeal have established it as a sought-after collectible, with prices steadily rising among enthusiasts and collectors.
