I have owned this rare and beautiful 1993 BMW 850ci 6-speed car since 2005, and am a bimmerforum and roadfly 8 series member. Car VIN# WBAEG1320PCB42782 is registered in the worldwide 8coupe.com registry. This car is fully loaded with every conceivable option, and was the top of the line BMW offered in 1993. 1 of only 35 imported to the USA in this configuration. If you have been looking for an 850ci 6-speed, look no more. I bought it with 67,425 miles in February of 2005 and it now has 133,4xx miles on it. This car has been a labor of love, with no expense spared, and it shows. Always garaged. Never smoked in. Oil changed regularly. It is in excellent mechanical, interior and exterior condition. V-12 engine idles flawlessly, and it drives even better. The paint is in great condition for a 20 year old car, and it really shines, with no dents, and very few chips in the paint. Originally a CA car, it now resides in Scottsdale, AZ, 85250. It does need a headliner, has a couple very small rust marks on the sun roof, a cracked fog light lens and 1 small blemish on the passenger seat, otherwise the leather interior is in excellent condition with no rips or tears to speak of. Tasteful upgrades include: Rear BMW CSi valance, United Auto Security keyless entry, HID lowbeam headlights (!), phone delete and center console storage, WOKKE v2 EML chips (greatly increased throttle response and feel), Custom German short shift linkage kit (Rene@German Independent/LA), perfect 17 inch chromed wheels (with wheel locks), Eclipse CD5423 stereo and amplifier, rear shock tower plates, and audio i-phone plug-in cord to Eclipse stereo. Over $36,000 in Professional services done and numerous parts replaced. These are comprehensive and include: New MID dash digital display unit, brake shoes, brake pads front/rear, new disc rotors front/rear, new brake bomb, new engine mounts, oil filter, oil pan gasket's, center support bearing, U-joints, crankshaft seals, brake wear sensors front/rear, vibration damper hub, BMW Getrag Type E 6-speed transmission (YES, I had the Getrag Type E 6-speed replaced with a brand NEW one right after I bought the car, as it seemed noisy), clutch, pressure plate, clutch release bearing, flywheel and input shaft seal, catalytic converter, steering gear box, all steering seals, fan clutch, thermostat, radiator, water hoses-upper/lower, breather hoses, fuel filters, injector cleaners, throttle body gaskets, fuel hoses, oil filter and oil filter housing mounts, center tie rod, idler arm, cabin air filters, drive shaft, guibo/flex disc, recharged air conditioning unit with Freon (A/C blows ice cold), front wheel hubs and bearings, water pump, front windshield, washer pump breather hoses, fuel tank valve, spark plugs, ignition wire set, distributor cap, distributor rotor, both mass air flow sensors (MAF'S), refurbished throttlebodies, drive belt tensioner's, adjusting pulley assembly, all belts, front control arms upper/lower, left and right control arm struts, control arm bushings, stabilizers and supports, 4wheel alignment, cabin air filters, air cleaner element, new hydraulic lines, power steering pump and assembly with traction control, serpentine belts, expansion tank, water pump, radiator, reserve tank, thermostat, high-pressure Hydro switch, and fuel pump assembly- yes the one under the rear seat! BF Goodrich G-Force Sport 255/40ZR-17 Tires (2012) have plenty of tread left and have been balanced/rotated, and all chrome wheels are flawless. BOTH batteries have just been replaced with Bosch 91-700B models. Trunk is spotless, with an OEM BMW 6CD changer installed (not wired to Eclipse), with the COMPLETE BMW tool kit (INCLUDING very hard to find Euro roadside reflective triangle). Full size spare tire. The buyer will also get my receipts, books and records (in 2 binders), the original BMW radio, cell phone, antenna, original center console, and numerous extra miscellaneous parts- just too much to list. I also have numerous digital BMW mechanic, electrical and owners guides, and specialty repair tutorials I will email to the buyer.
