1991 BMW E31 850Ci - TEST DRIVE

This is the first test drive. The V12 was parked for the last 11 years. After I bought the car I restored some things. Still a lot of work to do...

Magnifique ! A full stock restauration ! With a stock exaust. And 16 inches wheels. Love that kind of work. I ´ve got an e39 523i and i find the 90´ Bmw so desirable

It is so good to see it on the road after 11 years !. Hope we'll have more videos about this one or another project !... with good music too !!!!

I originally owned a 1991 850i 12 cylinder and after 3 years and excessive maintenance costs sold it. I missed the car so much I found an identical 1994 840ci which I have driven for 15 years. Though the horsepower difference is slight, 282 vs 300, he power delivery of the 12 cylinder is absolutely linear with no feeling its going to limit. The 8cylinder has a throatier exhaust sound. The maintenance of the 840 has been minimal compared to the 850 as many models shared the 840 engine and drivetrain. Cosmetic items and parts are becoming more difficult to source so if you buy one of these cars and you see spare parts for a reasonable cost, grab them.

Souvenirs, souvenirs! Jo latni, hogy ujra gurul a MASINA. Minden jot! Udv.

Fantastic work, hopefully you can find some time to help me out with my 840ci m60 engine, there is not much good people around here that is weling to help you. After 20 years people tell me, ohhh no we don't service your car, is terrible to work on it....

Greetings! I am also restoring my Bmw E31 V12. I have a question, after putting everything back together and when you started the engine the first time, did you have any overheating problems? Did you have to bleed the cooling system multiple times? Or did it hold good temperature right away? Thanks!

Hallo, can you please tell how much was the parts? Are all parts OEM or is possible to get some not OEM parts?
Thanks

Das ist kein Parkplatz! Außerdem sollte man das Auto nur mit einem 6 Gang Schaltgetriebe fahren wie der CSI.
