Launched for 1991 and produced through 1997, BMWs 850i was the companys fast, elite-level Grand Touring flagship, brimming with the latest technical innovations. Featuring sleek 2-door styling with an M1-inspired frontal treatment that continues to draw admirers today, the 850i was positioned above the V-8 840i with its 5.0-liter M70B50 V-12 engine factory-rated at 296 horsepower. Among its many cutting-edge features, the 850i was equipped with electronic throttle-by-wire, active 5-link rear suspension, electronic stability control, and one of the first applications of a 6-speed manual transmission, with a 4-speed automatic gearbox also available. Other 850i highlights included remote keyless entry, dual-zone climate control, a power tilt/telescopic steering column, a 12-speaker audio system, and one-touch power windows. Only 4,170 of these sexy BMWs were exported to the United States and the driver-preferred 6-speed cars were only produced to 1994.
