The 850i is BMW's original E31 grand tourer from the early 1990s, and it's a specialist's car more than a rebuild project for a beginner. Mechanical leads the damage tally at 33%. A straight, well-kept example is worth chasing hard, while a neglected one with unknown service history is a money pit no matter how cheap the hammer price looks. Most of these stay in the US, picked up locally or shipped in-country.
Under the hood is the M70 5.0-liter V12, controlled by two separate engine computers, one per bank, which makes diagnosing a running problem twice the job it would be on a V8. Parts for that dual-DME setup are scarce and pricey, so confirm both banks run clean before you commit. The E31's self-leveling rear suspension is another age trap – the hydraulic Nivomat units wear out and sag over three decades, and replacements aren't cheap or easy to find. Electronics from this era haven't aged well either: window regulators, climate control and the instrument cluster all commonly need attention on a car this old, and a full timing service on the V12 is a major job that involves pulling the front clip. If the shell's too rough to save, the non-repairable 850i lots still go for the drivetrain and trim.
Buying is quick: register free – no dealer license – set a maximum bid and the system bids for you up to that cap, or take a lot at its Buy Now price. Win it, pay the invoice plus fees, then pick up, ship or export.
