BMW 8 SERIES 850 CSi 2dr (1993)

BMW 850csi - Oh yeaaaa

Having watched Top Gear a couple of weeks ago and how they bought an old 8-Series 5.0-litre V12 and run it for just 7grand, it made me want to write my own review of my car.

Hammond is right, the 8-Series is a truly terrific car. It is quite rare and with the V12 engine is very powerful. I;d definetely say get this engine over the smaller ones because it packs a lot more punch. Outside you get pop up headlamps, lots of 80s style styling and small wheels, but who cares when youve got just under 300bhp?

Inside is typical BMW. With dark leather and wood and quite a few toys to play with, it feels a lot more modern than you'd imagine. There's lots of kit to play with and the suspension is absolutely spot on!

It;s just a fine example of how a sports GT should be made.
