BMW 850i, 1991

The BMW 8 series (code name E31) is a 2-door 2+2 coupé powered by a V12 engine and later also a V8. The car was produced by the German car manufacturer BMW from 1989 to 1999. The 8 Series had to compete with the Mercedes-Benz SL and Porsche 928 – an area where BMW had not been active until then. To reinforce this concept, BMW equipped the 850i with a number of technological firsts, such as the electronic accelerator pedal and the coupling of a 6-speed gearbox to a V12 engine. After 10 years and 30,621 units built, production was discontinued in May 1999.
