To be fair they are not exactly competitors based on the budget alone

[Mito Man]

When I saw that price and low miles I was thinking a few thousand miles

[NotoriousREV]

Remember when it was a struggle to get £5k for these? I still wouldn’t pay £5k for one now, never mind £55k.

[Foz]

5k maybe for a shagged 840, the 850csi is a different beast.

Is it 11 times as good?

[Foz]

I don’t know?

I had a thing for the 850csi when I was a youngster, sadly never been in an 8’er at all, I saw one the other week and it screamed 90’s, it looked good!

Is there a cooler 90’s BMW?

OK, £7k. Tops.

I could think of probably at least 100 cars I’d buy for £55k before I even thought about an 8 series.

[Rich B]

I like the 8 series a lot, but £55k? No one really wanted the 50s when they were £10k - And look at those ghastly little wheels.

[Rich B]

It seems there are still examples sitting comfortably in the £10-15k...

The late 840 was meant to be better anyway wasn't it? Almost as quick but with a lot less weight up front.

I like them too, but can't imagine ever paying more than 5k for one.

Proof it!

Indeed, mik




Anyhow, where would you keep 100 cars?

Outside Mik’s house.

[Foz]

I would t pay 55k either btw, but it’s still cool, and basically an M8

[Jimmy Choo]

For £55k, I'd get a cheaper 840i and a tatty facelift E39 M5. I'd post them to Flewy and ask him to make me a slower 5 series and a faster 8 series.

The change would be spent on hookers and Haribo.

[GG.]

But but but... it has the same steering wheel and gear lever from the £600 e36 323i I had for a while - how could you not want it?!

[Zonda_]

£55K!!!!!! I saw one parked at Elvington a few years back with stickers in the windows for £3.5k

Nice but from that era I prefer R129, maybe SL600 or SL60 AMG.
