Should I sell my '94 840ci and get a '91 850i? (archive)

I currently have a '94 840ci. I just went to the BMW dealer this past week to get an engine check/leak down check after just becoming aware about the problems associated with the 8 cylinder engines. The BMW technician stated that my engine was great . . . but did not want to comment as to when it might become problematic. He also said that I was out of warranty.

My first question is whether an engine replacement is an eventuality for my 840ci?

I just saw a 91 850i (manual) for $30,000 (US) and thought about buying that car instead. If I were to purchase the 850i, which is stated to be in great condition, what would be a reasonable price for that car?
