850iS?

[free740il]

Will Smith owns one.
In the song "Getting Jiggy With It" and he says "850i.s. if you need a lift
Whos the kid in the drop
Who else will smith"

Never heard of an 850iS though, just 850i, Ci and CSi. Real deal?

OMG I love this question.

[free740il]

Uh sarcasm?

[samsonevickis]

No.

Big Willy Style was the first CD I bought when I was a kid, like 6th grade.

I just realized when you posted it that was a lyric.

But in my opinion, I just assume he was rhyming...

I believe any 2dr car over 75K is going to be Sport

Haha true. I was like OMG BMW REFERENCE.

Just like the net and the supermarket tabloids, if you hear it in a song lyric it must be true.........

850is ="s a Stick/Manual, 850ia ='s a Automatic.

I just noticed the same line in the song and found your thread and looking a little deeper, found something he wrote: http://sniffpetrol.com/2014/06/05/wi.../#.V7MbsvkrKuU

Thanks, mrdat. You can tell Mr. Smith actually owns and drives his 850 - He pegs it in this article:

What you might not realise is that, 16 years later, I still have that car! ! In fact, I drive it almost every day, professional and personal commitments permitting! That’s right, I’m no longer ‘the Man in Black’ but I am ‘the man in a Calypso Red 8-series with tan leather interior’. Bicka bow bow bump bump! The truth is, I’ve had my dear old BMW for so long simply because I just can’t find a suitable replacement! Of course, keeping such a complex and technologically advanced car in tip-top condition isn’t easy but a good independent specialist is worth his weight in gold!

Interesting article, but it clearly states at the bottom that it was really written by THAT Will Smith.
