Into what kind of maintenance nightmare would I be getting if I were to purchase a 1991 850csi with 140K miles on it?

None. The CSi did not exist in the USA until the 1994 model year. I would be very afraid of purchasing a car from someone who would be so blatant in their misrepresentation of the facts.


Okay, cool. Now, please follow the link (if I posted it right) and tell me what you see on the left rear of this vehicle - I could very well not be reading it right.

I don't know if you know about this, but you can
buy the a "CSi" badge for $9.95 or something like
that and put it on the car. That in itself doesn't
make it a CSi...

The lower part of the picture is fairly dark so I
don't see the exhaust pipes really clearly, but
they look square to me. From what I have learned
among other postings on this board, the CSi has
round pipes, while the i/Ci has square ones.

Best regards,

Fedde
