This 1993 BMW 850CSi is a European-market example that is finished in Diamond Black Metallic over Anthracite Buffalo leather upholstery and powered by a 5.6-liter S70 V12 linked with a six-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. The 850CSi received revised front and rear valances as well as stiffer springs and dampers, and European examples featured larger front brake rotors and rear-wheel steering. Services under current ownership reportedly include an oil change, repair of the rear-wheel-steering system, and replacement of the battery. This 850CSi shows 159k kilometers
The 850CSi featured revised front and rear valances and circular quad exhaust tips compared to other E31 models, and European-market units received tinted front corner lenses in addition to M-design side mirrors. This example is finished in Diamond Black Metallic (181) and features a sunroof and pop-up headlights with washers. Rust is present on the sunroof, blemishes are visible on forward-facing surfaces of the car, and the passenger door is believed to have been repainted.
Style 21 17″ wheels are wrapped in 235/45 front and 255/40 rear Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires. The CSi featured a lower ride height with stiffer springs and dampers compared to the standard 850, and European-market 850CSis were equipped with larger 13.6″ floating front brake rotors as well as Active Rear-Axle Kinematics (AHK) rear-wheel steering. The shock absorbers were reportedly replaced in 2021, while the AHK system was repaired under current ownership.
The cabin features power-adjustable heated front bucket seats and individual rear seats upholstered in Anthracite Buffalo leather. Equipment includes dual-zone automatic climate control, an onboard computer, a BMW Bavaria AM/FM cassette stereo linked to a six-CD changer, and a carphone.
A four-spoke steering wheel frames instrumentation that includes a 300-km/h speedometer, a tachometer, and auxiliary gauges. The digital odometer indicates 159k kilometers, approximately 9k kilometers of which were added under current ownership.
The 5.6-liter S70B56 V12 features Bosch Motronic fuel injection and an engine oil cooler. Output was factory rated at 375 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque. Per the seller, an oil change was performed and the battery was replaced in 2023.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential.
