Re: Buying an 850i (archive)

The complete automotive resource for buyers, sellers, and owners like you.

I have a 850 CIA thats what your looking for because you said your looking for a automatic.
so first of al look very carfully and examin the car and try to find out if it has ever been in accedents because if it was in an accident from the front then there is a possobillity that it may have damage to the radiotor's and the (fin( the spinning thing (excuxuse my English)

There are two fins on this car the first one is one the front real close to the front of the car (the fin that also is used for your aircodishining)
and if the car has had a blast from the front then there is a big possibility that it takes a longt while sometimes months for something to go wrong.
There are a lot of things to look for but i am honest by telling you that even if you look for hours at the car there still are things that you cant see on first notice , the best thing is driving the car for a week and then youll find out a lot if you have enough feeling for cars, but that is almost impossible because you havce to pay for it first, the best thing is buying the 8 50 from a friend , so then you know more on the history and things that have gone wrong , and also your used to rthe sound and feeling of the car so you ll know when somethings wrong,

The 8 series is a great car i really love it the only car that is better and more comftrable than the 8 series is the new models of the mercedez 500 sec, Anyone who says not is just talking rubbishg and knows it too probably, the 95 96 models of the 500 sec are real great cars they have all the features that the 8 series has and eavin more. The thing i noticed is also the fact that teher is a lot less noise coming fr4om wind and the shosk ebsorbers fel mutch smoother lets just say its the closest you get to flying, The thing is its real expencive car and its just somthing that the 8 series owners don't want too think about too mutch or compare.
I 'm a true 8 series fan i love the 8 50 it's a great fantastic car but its stupied to say that there are no better cars ,
Just wanted to let you know that before you buy it but if you do you wont be disapointed buy the looks or all the extra's and the feeling that it gives you while your in it and especially the reeal funny thing like the way peoples head turns while you drive by. Don't be disapointed if it causes you a lot of costs from time to time the problem is that its a 12 cil car and 12 cil cars have to do with a lot of pressure inb a lot of ways incl (the waight_) but most are litle things but they do add up very quick when you consider the prices of the parts.
So god luck friend and maybe welcome soon to the 8 sereies adiction
