About this car
Bid to $20,119 on Cars & Bids on May 25, 2023 — the auction ended without meeting its reserve. This 1991 BMW 850i Coupe is a Japanese-market car finished in Brilliant Red over a black interior and is powered by a 5.0-liter V12 paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission. It shows 32,700 miles and was offered in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania with a clean Pennsylvania title.
What the photos show
- Red paint is bright and glossy on all sides with straight panels, no visible fading or dents, so no repaint bill on what is shown.
- Black leather front seats show creasing and wear on the bolsters but no tears seen, so conditioning money rather than a retrim.
- Rear seats look clean and lightly used, no need to spend there.
- Dash and steering wheel look tidy in the cabin photos, no cracks obvious at this size, so no dash bill is visible.
- Basketweave wheels look clean and bright, 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 main money check.
- Can't judge the underside, no underside photo was viewed, so a lift check is still needed.
Money: at $20,119 the glossy red paint and sound interior make the bid look reasonable for an 850i, with the unseen V12 engine bay the deciding check.
