About BMW 850Ci
The BMW E31 is the first generation of the BMW 8 Series Grand Tourer, produced by BMW between 1990 and 1999 and powered by a V8 or V12 engine. The entire project cost more than DM 1.5 billion. The brand used CAD tools that were unheard of at the time to design a completely new body. There is some uncertainty as to why and when the 850i became the 850Ci. The change came with the introduction of the 840Ci in autumn 1993. In October 1994, BMW installed the new M73B54 V12 engine.
Around the same time as another model, the regular 850i was renamed BMW 850Ci. It was done to make it more compatible with the rest of the company's name structure. In 1994, the company offered the BMW 850Ci with a slightly larger M73. Engine capacity increased to 5.4 litres, and the new version produced 322 hp and 361 Nm. At the same time, the automatic transmission was upgraded from four to five gears. To offer 8 Series buyers a cheaper and more powerful alternative to the V12, the company added the BMW 840Ci to the range in 1993. Under the bonnet of the early models was a 4.0L M60 V8 with 282 hp and 295 Nm of torque sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed automatic transmission. In North America, the BMW 840Ci was not available with a manual transmission.

The 8-series was produced for ten years, and 30,621 cars were built. Of these, 7,232 went to North America between 1989 and 1997. A total of 1,510 cars were produced. Only 225 of them were made in the United States between 1994 and 1995. It may be due to the rarity of the 8 Series. But it also depends on how much people like it. The familiar BMW gong sounds on the dashboard when the key is turned twice. The fuel pumps of the BMW 850Ci whistle softly in the background, ready to go.
The futuristic starter motor ignites at the third push, and the V12 engine starts. Compared to the conventional 5.0L V12, the BMW 850Ci has lighter pistons and a forged crankshaft. It has more aggressive camshafts and softer intake and exhaust valves. The volume has been increased to 5.6 litres, and the compression ratio has been raised. The BMW 850Ci is equipped with a heavier engine and differential radiators from BMW Motorsport.
