    1994 850ci six speed pops up on kijiji.

    If it is a 1994 should it not be a M73???

    M73 started at 1994 and M70 ended. Factory produced both engines side by side for about nine months so 1994 model can be powered by either one of those engines. Don't ask why. M73 powered cars are always automatic.

    kinda weird... IF that is the 1994 car, it is indeed 1 of 1 six speed manual car sent to North America
    "IF"... it still should be badged as an 850i, not a ci
    More miles than I'd like to see, and they make mention of rust... which could be a harbinger of things to come. They also mention a laundry list of simple problems, but they don't seem inclined to address any of them or even take decent photos - but still want $25k.
    would be nice to see the VIN

    Add $3k for sports-seats and non-working sun shade? Add for $65K CDN in repair receipts. He claims $100K in repairs and maintenance. Add for not being hit by a concrete truck. Subtract a large amount just for the missing battery positive jump cover.

    Not quite right. Bmw started to badge all eight series Ci about the same time when Csi was launched so all 1994 models are badged Ci despite it has M70 or M73.

    Sort of, but not according to the production numbers here... www.e31.net/production.html
    I've yet to see an M70 car witha ci factory badge
    ..or maybe I've just not paid attention?

    My 1993 was badged as an 850Ci. I’m pretty sure all 93 MY cars are.

    I think the e31.net site refers to M73 cars as 850Ci and all M70 cars as 850i as a way of distinguishing the two, but that’s not how BMW badged them.

    1993 "850Ci" with M70 engine and 6 speed manual tranny.
    I did not think they continued manual transmission into 1994 - that's the first one I've heard of...

    The unicorn! I was beginning to think it was a myth. Lots of nice options that are not typical on US spec cars.
