Model history

The BMW 850i (E31) replaced the 6 Series (E24) in the early 1990s and was positioned as a luxurious flagship coupé. The body, designed by Klaus Kapitza, with pop-up headlights, incorporated stylistic elements from the BMW M1. Technically, the 8 Series was based in part on the 7 Series (E32) of the time.
Despite high expectations, sales fell short of forecasts; a total of around 30,600 units were built. There was no direct successor at first – it was not until 2003 that a large BMW coupé reappeared in the form of the 6 Series (E63).
