I've gotten one of these and it is absolutely spectacular, the manager of the dealership I got it from keeps really good tabs on his clients because I bought that car back in 2010 yet he rang me in march 2018 to offer me a 850CSi with a six-speed manual. I instantly caved in and snatch his hand off because one of the only BMWs I wanted more than a O.G 6 series was a O.G 8 series. I mean the dream is own a M1 but that would mean winning the lottery and finding someone willing to sell their M1.
Wow, you have a wonderful line up :) I am a big massive fan of the e31 8 series to have one myself would my dream come true. I remember being about 5 years old, when my dad had a e23 735i and was looking to buy a 1988 e34 535iSe. He brought me a photo home in a frame of a 850i in calypso red. He gave it to me and it has been my dream ever since. I think it was about 1994 or 1995, after having a 1990 E32 Alpina B12 and a 1994 e34 540i touring, that he finally bought a 1992 850i in Brilliant red. It was amazing!! I remember people asking if it was a Ferrari. Anyway I’m sorry for talking so much. These videos really bring back the passion I had as a kid for BMW. Congratulations on your 850csi I bet she is perfect!!
Piero le Boss I’m lucky too see a few manual 850i’s since moving to Moscow. I just wish the condition of them over here was a nice as the automatic ones back home, in England :)
That description he gave about the level work required for a 'proper' timing chain replacement every 100k (at 6.00) positively frightened me. That's open heart surgery on an old man. Maybe I'll pass on buying one of these after all...
thanks for the video .... i am just buying a 635csi euro here in the states and can't wait .Your education and passion for the cars are awesome . cheers
great video , i always wanted a 635 csi highline in misano red , wat a car in highline spec leather everywhere , values will just keep going up , i can see in next few years being 100,000 grand car
Really really ahead of its time just like the E31 8 series. Speaking of 8 series the E31 was probably the successor to the E24 6 series since the 6 series was dead till 2004 for the E63 known for the V10.
III BMW III The original 6 and 8 series were soooo special. I just wish BMW kept the 6 series name purely for sports cars, and not turning the legendary name into a 6 series grand turismo family car. It Should of kept it 5 series name :) I hope they don’t do this to the current 8 series.
Hey, I have an M6, from France, and your expertise is just awesome. Thanks for the info on what to look for before buying one. And : yes : you should have more subscribers...
I owned an 88 M6. The thing I hated about the car was the maintenance of the engine every 10k to 15k miles. The 24 valves had shims and those shims needed replacing. This is true with all the M cars in the 80's and 90's. If you DID NOT do the maintenance interval of the shims, you could end up ruining the engine.
Your right about head off when changing timing chain ! BUT i have done one with no problems and no leaks or running faults And that cars done over 6000 miles
@classic heroes In our home town years ago there was this very nice gentleman who has the last registered UK 635csi highline. It was on a J reg and he owned it from new. He was going to buy a e31 but preferred the E24 and bought it :) The last time I saw this guy was 12 years ago, back when I was 21. We started talking about this BMW when he discovered that I was the person with the 1997 e38 740i sitting outside the local fish mongers down bellwalk. It’s amazing how BMW’s from different eras bring people together. I was just interested if you know the guy. Take care

Excellent video and comments ! AA+++
Kane?
Stop leaning on it
There's nothing wrong with buying that car, it would be only wrong if you pay for it as you would pay for one in excellent condition.
True that complete diference inside
