Eight Hundred Fifty Cubic Inch V12!!!!

[StereoInstaller1]

Yes, apparently senility is a bitch. Good catch, guys, I am wrong. Senility is a bitch...still, I never thought BMW made an 850 cubic inch motor...I was poking fun at the 'tard who made the CL ad!

Now I'm confused.


Does that not say 850Ci?

[StereoInstaller1]

OMFG, a typo in Wiki? Say it isn't so, Batman!

No 850ci. At least, not here in the good old US and A

[andyman2487]

The 850ci is a real car.

Nope. 850's came as 850i or 850CSi (AKA M8 )

This was not an immediate changeover, and indeed both the M70 and M73-engined cars rolled off the production lines side-by-side for about nine months in 1994, both named 850Ci.

Fuck. At least SOMEONE knows what the hell is up!

.............:crazy:

[StereoInstaller1]

The car was a 850CI not the engine. its a 5 litre v12. stock was 300 hp. Those engines were nothing but trouble. Its just 2 m20 stuck together, only it has 5 ecms to run the damn thing. I had one in my 750il. They run great.... when they do run. Fast and smooth too.

Yeah, fucking DUH. Retard CL poster. Someone gave him a motor, he thinks it is gold plated...and 850 CID!

It's that attitude that got the Mythbusters thread closed...

Yeah, ok...

well in all fairness luke is an older gentleman so 850ci(d) has a different meaning for him;)

Hey! WTF, kid! Like I don't know what this fucktard is trying to sell...come on man, you know I have been around BMWs longer than you have been alive.

man, those go for 1200 at bavarian. ive seen the alusil ones for 700.

No you haven't. That would be the M60, as in the V8 motor...

That was the 850 CSI chief....

Copied straight from Wikipedia
"850Ci
There is some confusion over why and when the 850i became the 850Ci. The change happened around the introduction of the 850CSi and it is believed that BMW decided to include the "C" in the model name to create more of a distinction between the 8 Series and BMW's sedans. The confusion starts when BMW installed the new M73B54 engine in the car. This was not an immediate changeover, and indeed both the M70 and M73-engined cars rolled off the production lines side-by-side for about nine months in 1994, both named 850Ci.

As the capacity of the M73 increased to 5.4 liters and the compression ratio went up, the power output rose to 326 bhp.


[edit] 850CSi
As a top-of-the-range sports tourer, the 850CSi took over from the prototype M8. The 850CSi used the same engine as the 850i, which was tuned so significantly that BMW assigned it a new engine code: S70B56. The modifications included a capacity increase to 5.7 liters and power increase to 380 bhp.

The 850CSi's modified suspension included stiffer springs and dampers and reduced the car's ride height. The model also sported wider wheels, with the options of forged alloys. The front and rear bumpers were reshaped for improved aerodynamic performance. Four round stainless steel exhaust pipes replaced the square pipes found on other models. The 6-speed manual gearbox was the only transmission option.

Production ended in late 1996 because the S70 engine could not be modified to comply with new emission regulations without substantial re-engineering."

Fuck. At least SOMEONE knows what the hell is up!

yep it was real and very rare...it had like 354hp from the v12 and was had w a 6spd trans....it was a quick machine. but who knows if that motor is out of an 850i or 850csi...without numbers or history of the car the motor came out of. I wouldn't even consider it. Plus it has no harness, acc, or ecu(s)...does take 2 of everything to run it...caps, rotors, 2 sets of wires, etc
