1995 BMW E31 8-Series

This 1995 BMW 850CSi is a European-market example that is said to have been sold new in Switzerland and spent time in Poland before being acquired by the current owner in 2019. The car is powered by a 5.6-liter V12 linked to a six-speed manual transmission and is finished in Orient Blue Metallic over Light Parchment leather. Equipment includes a limited-slip differential, 18″ M-Parallel wheels, a power-operated sunroof, fog lights, a cassette stereo with a CD changer, dual-zone automatic climate control, and heated power-adjustable front seats. This E31 shows 151k kilometers (~94k miles) and is offered in Hilversum, Netherlands, by the seller on behalf of the current owner with a ski bag, a tool kit, manufacturer’s literature, a service booklet, a vehicle data sheet, and Dutch registration. The 850CSi featured revised front and rear valances as well as a lowered ride height compared to other E31 coupes. This example is finished in Orient Blue Metallic and equipped with pop-up headlights, fog lights, a power-operated sunroof, quad exhaust outlets, and black bodyside trim. Areas of touch-up paint are visible on the left side skirt, as are dings on the driver’s door and scratches on the bumper covers. Silver staggered-width 18″ M-Parallel wheels feature polished lips and are mounted with Michelin Pilot Sport 3 tires measuring 225/40 up front and 265/35 at the rear. Braking is handled by four-wheel ventilated discs with ABS. The 850CSi features a sport-tuned suspension and revised steering ratios in comparison to other E31 models. The cabin features heated power-adjustable front seats trimmed in Light Parchment leather along with color-coordinated door panel inserts and carpets. Equipment includes an onboard computer, dual-zone automatic climate control, a cassette stereo, a trunk-mounded CD changer, driver position memory, and a power-adjustable steering column. The four-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel fronts a 300-km/h speedometer, a tachometer, and gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level. The digital odometer indicates 151k kilometers (~94k miles), approximately 6k of which were added under current ownership. The 5.6-liter S70B56 V12 was factory-rated at 372 horsepower and 402 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. Manufacturer’s literature is included along with a vehicle data sheet and a stamped service booklet. The car does not have a title as it is registered in a country that does not issue titles for vehicles. It is being sold on its registration. Filed under: 8 series, 8-series, 850i, e31
