About this car
Bid to $22,750 on Cars & Bids on October 3, 2023 — the auction ended without meeting its reserve. This 1991 BMW 850i Coupe is finished in Alpine White over a black interior and is powered by a 5.0-liter V12 paired with a rare 6-speed manual transmission. It shows 89,800 miles and was offered in Burbank, California with a clean California title.
What the photos show
- White paint looks clean and straight on all sides with tidy panel gaps, no visible dents, so no repaint bill on what is shown.
- Black leather front seats show creasing and shine from use but no tears seen, so conditioning money rather than a retrim.
- Rear seats look clean and little used, no need to spend there.
- Centre console and gear knob look dusty and worn at the edges, so budget a proper interior detail.
- Alloy wheels look clean with no major kerb damage, no need to refinish them.
- Can't judge the engine bay, no engine photo was in the viewed set, and on a V12 that is the big check before bidding.
- Can't judge the underside, no underside photo was viewed, so a lift check is still needed.
- Can't judge the dash closely, it is only seen wide in small photos, so check it in person.
Money: at $22,750 the straight white paint and sound leather make the bid look fair for an 850i, but the unseen V12 engine bay is where the real money risk sits.
