New Toy

[jtmarten]

Picked up a fairly rare toy about a month ago in San Diego. Have done a few maintenance repairs, but am loving it. I do still miss my 540i, but the 850Ci drives better overall, especially for long trips. She's one of 166 exported to North America in 1997 (last prod year for N.A.), one of 363 total for North America for the '95-97 models with the M73, 5.4L V12 backed by a ZF5HP30 5spd trans with steptronic. The original owner opted for the 3pc 18" HRE's as a dealer option. According to the history report, I'm the 3rd owner.

Re: New Toy

I've only driven two BMW's - the 325 and the 740. The 740 was an incredible ride, and I can only guess the 8 series is that plus a little extra fun packed in.

Nice buy, hope you enjoy it.
