my favourite car in the world.....
but i cant afford one.....
with a 5 Litre engine, it makes owning one in scotland pretty much impossible.....1GBP for 1 litre of petrol
it would drain your wallet faster than amsterdam hookers....
-

Looks like a train wreck.

what do you drive now lee?

850 does not have enough horsepower(300) for a 5 liter. m3 is a 3.2 liter and its got 340 horsepower.
i love bmw i own one myself. but that 850 is just for rich people. its fucking 1850 kilo's heavy. the taxes are enormous for that weight. i dont know where you live? and i imagine how much gas it uses, but still it would be a bad choice cause its just not fast enough for such a heavy car.
-
did you know that bmw has gotten awards for best engine's for the last 3 years. i think bmw is now the most popular brand around the world, better then mercedes. but still in the same league i quess.

you seem to know a thing or 2 about cars :)

And how do you know this? ???
If you think most of the people on this board can afford an 850i, you're dreaming.
-

That 850i is a piece of crap. That car isn't worth the cost of the maintenance.

im comparing a 850i year 1990 to a m3 from year 1994, and there is still a horsepower difference, and the 850 is even more expensive. you do your math.

the 850 is a dinosaur and a bad goodlooking dated model of bmw history,i think it hung on for 4 yrs,i very rarely see one hit the dealer i work at,now a e34,e39,m5 now were talking,e36 m3 was nice car only 230 hsp until dinan takes over.e 46 m3 330 hsp is a very nice car,u cannot go wrong in a 3 series a very good car to own,has nice styling.i drive a 335 it's a nice ride.
-
I myself would buy the M5 and take the extra money and get a T-Rex...The T-rex would curb the hunger for speed for sure...
-

if im correct a e36 m3 s got 321 horsepower. you drive a new 335 coupe? that car is awesome. :o

BMW was NEVER about straightout horsepower. Besides you are comparing an M car engine to a luxury/crusier V12. To be fair why don't you compare the S54 motor (E46 M3) to the V12 in the Mcclaren F1, which, is a BMW motor with over 600hp, but that's not fair as well as both are completely different motors with completely different purposes.
If you want horsepower consider Mercedes AMG, or a flat out sports car like 911 turbo, viper, or vette. BMW is about sharp handling, comfort, and overall sporty feel with emphasis on "precise steering feel."

some ugly cars in this thread

You are not that far off. Aside from being good to look at, the 850 along with the 7 series are a piece of shit. Just look at the resale values of 7 series. You can pick up a 01 740 for around 17k. They are an electrical nightmare, believe me.
But the 850csi is awesome though, but very RARE. Basically the M version of the V12.

The M3 did not have 340hp in 1994.
Hope this helps.

the bmw 5liter v12 built in the 80swas the first v12 engine after ww2 and don't compare a v12 luxus coupe to a mainstream coupe with an sport inline 6 engine which had 321hp not 340.
Lift some weights smallish punk, u need it ;)

i know somebody who's selling his 1954 bmw :)
Have you seen the one-door 3 wheel BMW. I saw a mint condition one in LA once. They had one for sale here in shitty condition for awhile. I always it would cool to have one and watch peoples eyes when I got out.

Could you actually get in it ;D
-

no and no,why would a e 36 in 95 only have 10 hsp less than a 06 e46?i have seen hundreds of m3's come in and out of the dealer and no clean e36 stock has that hsp.back in 95 a bmw with 230 hsp was considered power.nowaday's every import german,japanese,saab,volvo has a car close to 300 and over ,it's the norm now not like 1o yrs ago.it's all about the handling and tourqe and bmw has it.
-

Not now but back in the late 80's I could. I just thought driving around LA in that would have been cool
-
