    '91 850i 6-speed for sale

    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.

    Maintenance items done in the last couple of years:
    • Two new batteries
    • Cooling system rebuild: New hoses, belts, tensioners, water pump, expansion tank and radiator.
    • Fan converted to two-speed electric, reversible, original fan and hardware except fan shroud (under $100) included.
    • New crankshaft position sensors (while I was in there…)
    • New front suspension – control arms, steering idler, etc.
    • Stainless Steel brake lines.
    • Rear shock towers reinforcements installed
    • Pentosin system drained, cleaned and refilled. Several spare cans of 7.1 included.
    • Antifreeze changed every two years.
    • Brake system flushed and bled every two years.


    Good Things:
    • Lots of spares included: brake pads, spare MID (missing pixels repairable), old suspension parts (candidates for new bushings), spare CD changer (trunk unit).
    • HID Headlights (low beams)
    • Hard copy Factory Maintenance and ETM manuals included.
    • CD Maintenance and ETM manuals included
    • Complete original phone system removed and replaced with center console with cup holder and 12v lighter jack. All original phone parts saved and included, easily reinstalled.
    • Complete toolkit, including blue towel. Triangle caution reflector missing.
    • Over a dozen 6-disc CD changer cartridges included, eclectic collection of music negotiable.


    Bad things
    • Horn doesn’t work. Parts included for fix
    • Driver’s side seat needs twist fix.
    • Driver’s side seatbelt tensioner works but needs attention.
    • Chrome wheels could be re-chromed.
    • Parking lot dings.


    Bonus
    • Panasonic PD-MA423 stereo player – connect to your Home Stereo system and go peak-90s. Play the same CD packs at home as well as in your car!


    Asking: $22,500

    NavadaMike - that would be a Pioneer PD-MA423 unit, not Panasonic. I had the Pioneer unit back in the '90's. Should have kept it!
    GLWTS of your E31!

    '03 540iA, '91 850i
    I met Mike last Sunday and took a look at his 850i. Mike's a straight up, honest and knowledgeable owner. The body is straight, paint is good and interior is very nice for the age. Unfortunately there was a battery issue the day I stopped by and did not have an opportunity for a test drive. GLWS Mike!
