1991 BMW 850i 6 speed. Black exterior, Silber Grey interior.
I have owned this car for 25 years, but declining health and mobility forces sale. I bought it from the Berkeley CA BMW dealership after it came off lease from the original owner. Original California car, in Northern Nevada for the last 24 years. Always garaged. No accidents, No Rust. Clean title.
Mileage: 157381. Most of the miles are interstate highway trips. Car is currently in my heated garage in Northern Nevada (about 100 miles SE of Reno). The interior is excellent, paint is original in good condition, however there are parking lot chips and several dents that could be pulled out. Chromed throwing star wheels could use a re-chroming.
The drivetrain (transmission and differential) have always been serviced with RedLine synthetics, engine oil changed according to the MID computer (all pixels and buttons work) with Castrol Syntex. The clutch is original, still grabs well, and is a testament to the gentle treatment this drivetrain has received.

Two new batteries
Cooling system rebuild: New hoses, belts, tensioners, water pump, expansion tank and radiator.
