Descrizione

The BMW 8 Series E31 marked a bold step forward for BMW when development began in the mid-1980s. Conceived as a technological flagship to surpass the earlier E24 6 Series, it debuted at the 1989 Frankfurt Motor Show showcasing cutting-edge engineering and design. Developed at a cost of over 1.5 billion Deutsche Marks, the 8 Series was one of the first production cars to be designed using advanced CAD systems, resulting in a sleek, aerodynamic body with a drag coefficient of just 0.29. It also introduced innovations such as electronic drive-by-wire throttle and, in V12 form, the first pairing of a V12 engine with a six-speed manual gearbox in a road car.

This particular BMW 850Ci, first registered in 1994, is an exceptional example of this iconic model. Finished in elegant silver with a contrasting leather interior, it presents beautifully and benefits from remarkably low mileage of just 20,378 miles from new. Supplied new to its original owner in Cyprus, the car remained there until 2021 when it was imported to the UK upon the owner's relocation to Surrey. The original owner kept the car until 2025 and since then, it has formed part of the Continental Performance Collection, which is a carefully curated selection of standout enthusiast cars, brought together for their quality, originality and driver appeal.

Maintained to a high standard throughout its life, the car was entrusted to BMW upon its arrival in the UK, where it underwent a full interior retrim by the main dealer. Since then, it has continued to be cared for annually, reflecting a level of ownership rarely seen. Combining ultra-low mileage, single ownership and careful maintenance, this 850Ci represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of the finest examples of BMW's landmark grand tourer, equally suited to the discerning collector or enthusiast seeking a truly special modern classic.
