Could someone tell me the difference between the 850CSi and the 850i? There's a phat black 850i at a dealer down the street for $26k with 95k miles. Any thoughts?

850CSi 5.6 liter 380bhp tuned version of the V12 - breathed on by the Motorsport Division of BMW. Some say it could have been called the M8. Available in 6 speed manual transmission only. Special body kit.

850i 5 liter 300bhp version of the V12. Available in auto or manual transmission.

These details are a rough guide with a UK perspective on the spec. You will no doubt get much more information from the knowledge base on this site. Just wanted to indicate the two cars are very different animals.
