This 1994 BMW 850CSi is a European-market example that was ordered with special-order Lagoon Green/Lagunengrün Metallic paintwork. It was first registered in Austria with subsequent time spent in Bulgaria before being imported to the Netherlands following the current owner’s purchase in 2022. Showing 110k kilometers (~68k miles), the car is powered by a 5.6-liter V12 linked to a six-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. The interior is trimmed in two-tone black and tan upholstery, and features include fog lights, 17″ Style 21 “Throwing Star” wheels, a cassette stereo, dual-zone automatic climate control, heated power-adjustable front seats, and cruise control. This E31 is offered in the Netherlands by the seller on behalf of the current owner with manufacturer’s literature and Dutch registration.
The 850CSi featured revised front and rear valances as well as a lowered ride height compared to other E31 coupes. This example was specified in special-order Lagoon Green/Lagunengrün Metallic and features pop-up headlights, fog lights, and black bodyside trim. The front bumper trim, kidney grilles, and roundels were recently replaced.
Forged-aluminum 17″ BMW Style 21 wheels wear directional “throwing star” covers and are mounted with Michelin Pilot Sport tires. Braking is handled by four-wheel ventilated discs with ABS. The 850CSi features a sport-tuned suspension and revised steering ratios in comparison to other E31 models. The brake hoses have been replaced.
The cabin features heated power-adjustable front seats trimmed in two-tone black and tan leather, along with matching door panels and carpets. Equipment includes an onboard computer, dual-zone automatic climate control, an AM/FM/cassette stereo, driver-seat position memory settings, and a power-adjustable steering column.
The four-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel fronts a 300-km/h speedometer, a tachometer, and gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level. The digital odometer indicates 110k kilometers (~68k miles), approximately 2,000 of which were added under current ownership. The instrument cluster LCD has been repaired.
The 5.6-liter S70B56 V12 was factory rated at 372 horsepower and 402 lb-ft of torque. The fuel pump hoses, spark plugs, distributor cap and rotor, and fuel injectors were replaced in 2024.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. The transmission fluid and differential fluid were changed in 2024.
The vehicle is being sold on its Dutch registration, which serves as an ownership document in the Netherlands.
