The wonderfully dramatic BMW 8 Series Coupé was launched at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1989 and positively bristled with innovations, as befited the flagship model from the makers of 'the ultimate driving machine'.
While the motoring press focussed on the numerous road car firsts such as the first electronic 'fly-by-wire' throttle, the first 'CAN bus' system to cut down the complexity and weight of the electrical system and the first BMW multi-link rear axle, what really impressed most people was just the car's sheer presence.
A worthy successor to the BMW 635 CSi, the 850 CSi took the concept of the large sporty coupé into an entirely new technical arena.
Initially developed to be a standalone product of BMW’s eponymous Motorsport Division, the E31 850CSi was the marque’s high performance flagship model between 1991 and 1996.
Exorbitantly priced and incredibly exclusive, just 1,510 examples were built and with only 138 built in right-hand drive configuration, good examples are now...
